THE SOLUTION
A leading Oil & Gas contractor engaged with Knowsley SK to design, manufacture, supply and commission a state of the art foam system to protect personnel and infrastructure at the facility.
Knowsley SK carried out hydraulic analysis of the existing system and re located nozzles to provide adequate coverage in accordance with recognised industry standards. At the heart of the new system – a Turbinator foam pump/proportioner skid with foam concentrate tanks and all necessary valves and instrumentation for the operation of the system. The Turbinator is a water driven positive displacement foam proportioning pump driven by a special volumetric water motor directly coupled to a precision gear pump. This unique design ensures the correct ratio of firewater to foam concentrate is fixed over the full operating range, making the Turbinator the perfect proportioning technology for systems with different flows such as multi-legged deluge systems, sprinkler systems and mobile equipment.
