Storage of flammable liquids: new regulations for foam additives

Changes in regulations concerning the use of emulsifiers containing PFAS (fluorinated products) mean that every operator of a flammable liquid storage site is required to diagnose the emulsifiers used in the site's fire-fighting systems. Ekium carries out the diagnosis of your installations.

Changes in regulations regarding the use of fire-fighting foam containing PFAS (fluorinated compounds) require every operator of a flammable liquid storage facility to conduct an assessment of the fire-fighting foam used in the site’s fire suppression systems. This issue cannot be addressed simply by replacing the product.

Ekium has extensive experience with fire suppressants, dosing systems, and the application of foam systems, particularly in the field of flammable liquids. 🔎Ekium conducts an assessment of your facilities:

  • Identification of the foam concentrates used, their suitability for the requirements and regulations,

  • Analysis of existing foam concentrate dosing systems,

  • Reviewing emulsifiers on the market that can meet your needs,

  • Assessing the compatibility of new foam concentrates with existing dosing systems and providing related recommendations,

  • An initial financial estimate of potential retrofit costs. *𝘈 𝘭’𝘩𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘦, including 3 types of equipment𝘢𝘪𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘲𝘶𝘪 𝘳𝘦́𝘨𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘭𝘶𝘰𝘳𝘦́𝘴 𝘥𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘭𝘦𝘴 𝘦́𝘮𝘶𝘭𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘳𝘴 : 757/2010 𝘴𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘦 𝘗𝘍𝘖𝘚 / 2017-1000 𝘗𝘍𝘖𝘈 𝘰𝘶 𝘊8 / 2020/784 𝘗𝘍𝘖𝘈 𝘰𝘶 𝘊8).
