a) Stainless Steel (SS-316) Foam solution storage tank for each foam module shall be designed
to meet foam application rate of minimum 18 lpm/m 2 of protected rim seal area for an application period of minimum 40 seconds. However, the maximum capacity of each foam solution storage tank shall not exceed 250 litres. The specification of Stainless steel and fabrication of Foam solution tanks shall be as per attached specifications. b) Foam solution storage tank shall be manufactured to ASME-VIII, Div-1 requirements c) Foam Discharge Manifold and distribution pipe work with semi aspirating foam spray nozzles (expansion ratio 1:3 to 1:6) shall be UL listed & made of SS-316 and evenly spaced to cover one segment of rim seal up-to maximum length of 50 meters. This shall be designed for delivering foam at 18 lpm / m2 and extinguishing of fire within 40 seconds of detection. d) Automatic Foam Discharge actuation valve shall be provided at discharge outlet. e) Instrumentation Panel containing nitrogen charging port, Distribution Manifold, pressure switch to monitor foam module pressure, etc .shall be installed on each foam module. f) Pre-coated canopy shall be provided on each foam module for protection from directimpingement by sunlight & rain water. g) Clearly legible schematic and operating instruction plate shall be permanently fixed on each foam module. h) Suitable sized filling and draining facilities shall be provided for operation and maintenance of modules. i) Each foam module shall be fitted with a pressure gauge of suitable range to manually identify module pressure. Additionally, the signal from the pressure switch shall terminated into the Local junction box and a common signal for Module pressure low shall be transmitted for each tank to the LCP, Rim seal fire alarm panel at the control room & Repeater Panel .
