Production introduction
foinbo® Fire Foam Tanks are essential components in fire suppression systems, designed to store and proportion foam concentrate for combating flammable liquid fires. Available in vertical (PHYML series) and horizontal (PHYM series) configurations, these tanks cater to diverse installation and capacity needs across industrial, commercial, and storage facilities.
Constructed with a carbon - steel body for durability, Fire Foam Tanks feature a bladder (rubber/PVC) that separates the foam concentrate from water, ensuring the concentrate remains uncontaminated and effective. The proportioner, made of SS304 stainless steel, accurately dispenses the concentrate at 3% or 6% ratios, critical for generating the right foam consistency to suppress fires. With working pressures ranging from 0.8–1.2 Mpa, these tanks integrate seamlessly with fire - fighting systems, adhering to ANSI/BS4504/GB flange standards for proportioners.
Vertical models (e.g., PHYML - 100 to PHYML - 5500) offer capacities from 100 L to 5500 L, suitable for spaces where vertical storage is optimal. Horizontal models (e.g., PHYM - 1000 to PHYM - 8000) provide larger capacities (up to 8000 L) and fit well in areas with horizontal layout preferences. The flow rate ranges (4–64 LPS) ensure they can handle both small - scale spills and large - scale industrial fires.

Products Description
FAQ
Q: Can Fire Foam Tanks be customized to use non - standard foam concentrate ratios?
A: Typically, they're factory - set for 3% or 6% ratios. For non - standard ratios, contact the manufacturer to discuss custom proportioner calibration during production-field adjustments may compromise accuracy.
Q: How does temperature affect the bladder material in Fire Foam Tanks?
A: Rubber/PVC bladders have temperature limits (usually -10℃ to 50℃). In extreme cold/hot environments, use temperature - rated bladders (e.g., silicone - based for cold) and insulate tanks to prevent damage or concentrate degradation.
Q: What's the process for replacing the bladder in a Fire Foam Tank?
A: Drain the tank, disconnect piping, remove the old bladder through the access port, clean the interior, install the new bladder (ensuring no folds), reattach components, and pressure - test before refilling.
Q: Can horizontal Fire Foam Tanks be installed on uneven ground?
A: They require a level, stable foundation. Use shims or a concrete pad to level the tank. Uneven installation risks bladder damage, leakage, and inaccurate proportioning.
Q: How often should the proportioner in Fire Foam Tanks be calibrated?
A: Calibrate annually or after major system maintenance. Use a calibrated flow meter to verify the 3%/6% ratio-incorrect proportioning reduces foam effectiveness.
