Foam Calculation Sample From Forum

Two storage tanks each containing 8895 m3 of aviation fuel are located within a common containment dike. A calculation is performed to determine the foam concentrate requirements for fire protection of the tanks and dike. The minimum application rates and areas of the tanks and dike are used to calculate the foam solution and concentrate requirements. The total foam concentrate storage requirement is 37.3 m3.

SAMPLE FOAM CALCULATION from Forum:

Two Tanks storing Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF) are provided in a common diked area.
The capacity of each tank is 8895 m3.
The tank dimensions are 30 m D X 12.2 m H.
The containment dike for this pair of tanks is 65.5 m W X 104.5 m L.
Calculate the foam-water solution requirement, 3% foam concentrate requirement & storage requirement for foam concen

Net Dike Area = (Gross Dike Area - 2*Tank C/S Area) =
Foam Solution Rate for Tanks = (min application rate*Tank C/S Area*tank qty) =
Foam Soln Rate for Dike = (min application rate*Net Dike Area) =
Foam concentrate Rate for tanks = (Foam Soln Rate for Tanks*3%) =
Foam concentrate rate for Dike = (Foam Soln Rate for Dike*3%) =
Foam concentrate qty reqd for tanks = (Foam conc. rate for tanks*Application time for tank) =
Foam concentrate qty reqd for Dike = (Foam conc. rate for dike*Application time for Dike) =
Total Foam concentrate qty = Foam concentrate qty reqd for (tanks + dike) =
Foam concentrate storage capacity = (total foam concentrate qty*Foam concentrate storage buffer) =
