Fit-for-purpose firefighting solution in hazardous area (New Zealand)
When a refining company in New Zealand needed help after unsuccessfully trying several different proportioning systems, they turned to us and our Turbinator foam mixing system.
The Challenge
After trying everything from bladder tanks and inductors to inline balanced pressure proportioners (BPP), our client was facing a real challenge with proportioning systems. With limited available space on-site and the need for a low pressure loss device, they were searching the marketplace for someone who could help. They required a solution that was both compact and able to offer similar mixing ability to full size options. It also needed to vary flow rates too.

We recommended the Turbinator
After uncovering the problems faced by our client, we immediately recommended the ‘Turbinator’ – our industry-recognised Knowsley SK foam mixing system.
It’s the go-to choice for a growing number of our end users and consultants, thanks to a wide variety of features and multiple applications. We knew its nominal footprint would be ideal for the smaller space our client had on-site, and its ability to mix foam accurately is excellent. We were also able to offer 3 different sizes to accommodate the specific flow rates required, from 500 – 12000 L/pm.
fit-for-purpose solution
With a quick and simple installation by our local partners, we were able to provide a solid, effective, ‘fit-for-purpose’ firefighting solution.
The strong materials and excellent functionality of the Turbinator make it highly capable in both on and off shore environments. It provides our client with absolute peace of mind in any emergency situation, even in a hazardous area like a refinery.
