Modernization of the diaphragm element of the foam chamber as a way to protect the aquatic environment from oil products outflow from storehouses
The purpose of the study is the modernization of the diaphragm element in the composition of the active foam chamber (generator) of low multiplicity type CS; elimination of leakage vapors during breathing of gas condensate migrating from tanks to dry fire water supply pipelines; minimization of the negative impact of oil products on the aquatic environment (resource). The object of discussion in this work is the unit for mixing and dispensing foam-water solution during fire fighting at existing capacitive storage facilities for gas condensate (hydrocarbon product) - a foam chamber (generator) of low multiplicity type CS with a replaceable diaphragm element (a disk from glass, with working pressure: from 3.0 to 12.0 kgf /cm2). The tests and monitoring demonstrated the positive results of the proposed material “MKRKL 450” for the manufacture (on a lathe) of a diaphragm interchangeable element, followed by equipping the foam chamber.
