Fire foam pipeline
Thread Content
The tank area contains more than 10 Class A storage tanks, each of which is equipped with fire foam nozzles. The fire foam pipes run along internal utility tunnels. Are there one pipe for each tank, or is there one main pipe that connects to each tank as needed?

Ultimately, they all lead off from a main fire pipe, with one pipe and one valve per connection
Don’t you have any designs from a design institute? There are distance requirements for the installation of foam storage tanks as well as for pipes and valves; it seems to be 15 meters. In addition, the main pipes of the storage tanks branch off to each Class A tank; on the ground, interfaces for connecting fire-fighting mobile foam tanks are also provided to ensure that foam can be used in case it runs out in the storage tanks.
One cut-off valve per storage tank, located outside the fire dike at a distance of 15 meters from the outer wall of the tank. Additionally, it is advisable not to run the fire protection pipelines in ducts together with other pipes; instead, they should be installed on separate support structures to ensure that they can function properly in the event of a fire, without being affected by other pipes.
