Instant foam technology to improve aerial firefighting effectiveness

Abstract

Introduction: This paper describes a new technology, making the process of aerial firefighting more effective. Instant foam technology based on adopted patent, called Foam Fatal, used by petrol industry. Methodology: Before starting the project prepared a study which is focused the economic efficiency of aerial firefighting. This study says that the effectiveness of aerial firefighting using just pure water is very limited but there are possibilities for extending this effectiveness. Instant foam technology can use any traditional foam solution in a special tank installed on board and this liquid emitted in the required place by pressure. Whit this process the quality of the created foam become very homogeneous and some feature also can be modified during the process. Results and discussion: No doubt, in the market there are already some special water tanks, even with pressured systems, however the results comparing the extended efficiency of the instant foam technology to the others is notable. Moreover, instant foam technology is even cost effective, making the process of aerial firefighting real effective.
