HD Fire Foam Proportioning Systems in Bhopal

Fire Protection System (FPS), an HD Fire dealer in Bhopal, supplies HD foam proportioning equipment: bladder tanks and ratio controllers, inline balanced pressure proportioners and pump skids, inline and portable foam inductors, foam concentrate valves and atmospheric storage tanks. These mix foam concentrate into fire water at the right ratio for fixed and mobile foam systems.

Where to use Foam Proportioning Systems

  • Fixed low expansion foam systems fed from a bladder tank
  • Tank farms and loading racks
  • Offshore platforms and marine docks
  • Aircraft hangars
  • Oil and gas and chemical storage facilities
  • Sites with several hazard zones served from one foam concentrate tank
  • Constant flow fixed foam installations (inline foam inductor)
  • Mobile foam units and manual fire fighting (portable inline inductor)

HD Fire Foam Bladder Tank with Multiple Proportioners

Bladder tankMultiple proportionersMulti zone

One vertical or horizontal bladder tank acts as the central foam concentrate store for several proportioning lines, each running to its own hazard zone. Each line works as an independent proportioning system with its own foam concentrate control valve.

HD Fire Dual Bladder Tank Skid

Dual bladder tanksSkid mountedASME Section VIII Div I

Two bladder tanks mounted on one skid, the first as the operating tank and the second as a standby reserve. Available as vertical or horizontal units.

HD Fire Custom Engineered Foam Skid

Foam skidCustom engineeredFactory tested

A foam skid engineered to the project specification, with the foam concentrate tank, foam pump, proportioner and control panel mounted on one frame. It is completely pre-assembled and tested in the factory.

HD Fire Inline Foam Inductor

Inline inductorFixed flow65 to 150 mm

An inductor that draws foam concentrate into the water stream and supplies foam solution to the foam making equipment, meant mainly for fixed foam installations with constant flow. Each unit is calibrated and factory tested for flow and induction rate at maximum back pressure.

How to choose

Foam proportioning means mixing foam concentrate into the fire water at a set ratio, such as 3% or 6%, to make foam solution. Bladder tanks are very commonly used in low expansion foam systems: a pressure rated tank holds the concentrate inside a rubber bladder, incoming fire water squeezes the bladder, and a ratio controller meters the concentrate into the water line. HD offers it as a single tank, as dual tanks on a skid with one on standby, with a pre-assembled deluge valve, or with several proportioning lines serving separate hazard zones.

A balanced pressure system uses a foam concentrate pump instead. The inline balanced pressure proportioner (ILBP) works with a positive displacement concentrate pump and keeps the dose accurate across a wide range of flow and pressure, even when several injection points run at different pressures from one concentrate line. HD's skid mounted balanced pressure system packs the pump, ratio controller, by-pass valve, relief valve and electricals on one frame, covering 270 to 18500 lpm (71 to 4887 gpm) without manual adjustment. Concentrate for these systems is kept in an atmospheric storage tank.

An inline foam inductor gives a simple method of proportioning for constant flow applications. It draws concentrate into the water stream and can work against a back pressure of up to 65% of its inlet pressure, and HD calibrates and tests each unit for flow and induction rate. The portable IE225 and IE450 inductors do the same job on mobile foam units and in manual fire fighting.

Finally, confirm materials and approvals. Most items come in bronze or stainless steel, and tanks in carbon steel or stainless steel. Bladder tanks can be supplied UL Listed, FM Approved or CE marked when specified in the order. Send us the foam system flow, concentrate type and hazard details.

Frequently asked questions

What is a foam bladder tank?
It is a pressure rated tank with a rubber bladder inside that holds the foam concentrate. When the system operates, fire water presses on the bladder and pushes concentrate to a ratio controller, which meters it into the water line to make foam solution.
What does a ratio controller do?
It meters foam concentrate into the water line in the right proportion. HD's ratio controller works with a bladder tank or an inline balanced pressure proportioner and switches between 3% and 6% induction by changing the orifice.
When is an inline foam inductor enough?
HD designs its inline inductors mainly for fixed foam installations with a constant flow. For varying flows or several hazard zones, a bladder tank or balanced pressure system is used instead.
Which foam concentrates can HD tanks hold?
HD states its atmospheric storage tanks suit synthetic AFFF, alcohol resistant AFFF (AR-AFFF) and fluorine free foams. Its bladder tank is UL Listed with AFFF, AR-AFFF, FP and AR-SFFF concentrates.
Can FPS design and install a foam proportioning system?
Yes. FPS supplies, installs and maintains HD foam proportioning equipment in Bhopal and across Madhya Pradesh. Prices are on request: call or WhatsApp +91 92440 89060.
