Constant research and development has lead to the current designs which meet the demands of modern day tank protection including the need for full surface pourers.
Foam chamber for floating roof tank.
When correctly installed the foam chamber has a foam deflector mounted on the inside of the tank wall.
Causes the foam to slide gently down the tank wall into the seal area.
The unit protects various tanks including cone roof tanks with or without internal floaters most open tanks and open top floating roof tanks.
Chemguard foam chambers are air aspirating foam discharge devices that are used to protect various types of flammable liquid storage tanks including open top floating roof tanks and cone roof tanks with or without internal floaters.
Additional applications include most types of open tanks where flammable liquid products are involved.
Each foam chamber mounted on a cone roof storage tank should have its own individually valved riser supplying the foam solution from outside the dike area.
The rim seal foam pourer is designed to deliver fully aspirated from directly to the annular seal area of open top floating roof tank.

Foam chambers foam chambers are typically used as part of a fixed or a semi fixed surface application fire protection system on exterior fixed cone roof or on internal floating roof storage tanks.
In addition they may be used on covered floating roof storage tanks that are not vapor tight above the internal fl oating roof vented.
Angus fire has been protecting tanks using top pourer technology for over 30 years.

The rim seal foam pourer is used for one of the most common applications of protecting tank seal in vertical liquid storage tank with internal floating roof with low expansion foam system.
Shallow style deflectors are useful when only a small space between the foam dam or tank rim is available and a normal deflector may come into contact with part of the floating roof.
The sps 9 is designed for easy low cost installation on the top angle of open top floating roof storage tanks with existing wind shields.
All foam chambers are supplied with standard finish primed with red epoxy exterior coating.
When the foam chamber is mounted correctly the internal glass seal of the chamber will be just slightly higher in elevation than the roof joint on the storage tank.
