ADVANCED FIRE SUPPRESSION TECHNOLOGIES AT FUEL STORAGE FACILITIES

Abstract

This article analyses challenges of the fire extinguishing process at fuel storage facilities and looks at modern technologies aimed at extinguishing burning petrochemicals, such as: subsurface foam injection, combined gas and powder fire extinguishing technology BiZone, aerosol generator Purga, automatic fire-fighting system USP-01F, foam generating substance Storm, heat shields Sogda designed to protect firefighters from thermal radiation, etc. Recommendations are given to facilitate the use of advanced fire suppression technologies at fuel storage facilities.
