Performance Analysis of Foam Agents Required to Combat Liquid Fuel Hazards
نویسندگان
چکیده
Different foam formulations are or could become available where the use of film-forming foam is potentially restricted. Alternative foam formulations have different levels of fire extinguishment and burnback performance. The intent of this paper is to present a framework for determining “how good is good enough” in terms of foam agent performance. The focus is on the required fire extinguishing performance. An example for aviation fire protection is presented, specifically an incident on a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier flight deck. The methodology can be readily adapted to any military or commercial fuel hazard application. The objectives of this analysis are to:

An Experimental and Theoretical Analysis of Foam Formation in the Sour Gas Sweetening Process
Use of amine solutions for the removal of acid gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S) from natural gas is the most common method, and, in this process, operational problems because of foaming are reported. Foaming can lead to the entrainment of liquid into downstream process equipment and might result in a situation in which the process specification...

One of the difficulties of the liquid fuels is theirs shelf life because these fuels like other chemical materials become off spec after a period of time due to the tendency to the destructive reactions. This variation in fuel spec affects the chemical and physical properties of fuel and therefore the combustion performance. This subject is significant because of need to long time storage of fu...

متن کاملMethods of Quantifying and Mitigating Aerosol Fire and Explosion Hazards Associated with Low Vapor Pressure Liquids
This paper addresses the hazards associated with aerosolized hydraulic fluids and other liquids designed to be relatively non-flammable with respect to flashpoint and vapor pressure. The studies presented seek to understand and quantify conditions and circumstances that can produce such hazardous conditions. US Navy personnel are particularly susceptible to fuel aerosol hazards due to the wides...
