Fire pumps are often associated with water-based fire suppression, but they can also be effectively used in foam systems, particularly in high-risk industries (e.g., oil and gas, chemical storage). Foam systems utilize a mixture of foam concentrate and water to create a more effective barrier against flammable substances. Fire pumps used in such systems must be compatible with foam agents, considering factors like resistance to corrosion and compatibility with piping materials. Proper calibration is essential to maintain the correct water-to-foam ratio. Planning for foam systems requires expertise to prevent any issues with foam expansion and delivery pressure.
