Vertical Bladder Tank - 200-8000Liters
The forede® foam bladder tank is a reliable and efficient solution for fire-fighting systems. Its features ensure high performance and durability, making it a popular choice for many industries.
One of the key features of the forede® foam bladder tank is its flange standard of proportioner, which meets ANSI, BS4504, and GB standards. This ensures that the tank is compatible with a wide range of systems, providing flexibility and ease of installation.
The body of the tank is made of carbon steel, which is a strong and durable material. The bladder material is made of rubber, which is resistant to chemical and physical damage, ensuring that the foam inside the tank is protected and kept in optimal condition.
The tank comes with a proportioner made of carbon steel as standard, with the option to upgrade to SS304 stainless steel. The ball valve and safety valve are also made of brass as standard, with SS304 stainless steel as an optional upgrade. The piping system is made of carbon steel as standard, with the option to upgrade to SS304 stainless steel.
Finally, the forede® foam bladder tank is finished with a high-quality paint coating, providing a protective layer against corrosion and wear. This ensures that the tank looks great and performs well for many years to come.

Q1: Are there any limitations on the temperature range in which the PHYML tank can operate effectively?
A: The PHYML tank is designed to operate within a reasonable temperature range. Generally, it can function well between 0°C - 40°C. Extreme temperatures outside this range can affect the performance of the rubber bladder and the viscosity of the foam concentrate, potentially reducing the effectiveness of foam generation. If operating in extreme cold or hot environments, proper insulation or cooling/heating measures may be needed.
Q2: Can the PHYML tank be relocated after initial installation?
A: Yes, the PHYML tank can be relocated, but it requires careful planning and execution. First, the tank must be emptied and depressurized following the manufacturer's procedures. During relocation, the tank and its components should be handled with care to avoid damage, especially to the bladder and piping. After relocation, it needs to be reinstalled on a suitable foundation and thoroughly tested before being put back into service.
Q3: How does the quality of the foam concentrate impact the performance of the PHYML tank?
A: The quality of the foam concentrate is crucial. High - quality foam concentrate ensures proper foaming characteristics, accurate mixing ratios, and effective fire - fighting performance. Poor - quality concentrate may lead to inconsistent foam generation, reduced fire - suppression capabilities, and potential damage to the tank's components over time. It's essential to use foam concentrate that meets the manufacturer's specifications.
Q4: What kind of training is required for personnel operating the PHYML tank?
A: Operators should receive training on the basic principles of foam fire suppression systems, including how the PHYML tank functions. This includes understanding the tank's components, such as the proportioner, ball valve, and safety valve. Training should also cover proper startup and shutdown procedures, routine maintenance tasks, and how to respond in case of an emergency or system malfunction.
Q5: Can the PHYML tank be used in combination with other types of fire suppression systems?
A: Yes, the PHYML tank can be used in combination with other fire suppression systems, such as water sprinkler systems or dry chemical extinguishers. However, careful coordination and design are required to ensure that the different systems work in harmony and do not interfere with each other's operation. This may involve integrating control systems and ensuring proper sizing and placement of all components.
Q6: How do I know if the ball valve in the PHYML tank needs to be serviced?
A: Signs that the ball valve may need servicing include difficulty in opening or closing, visible leakage around the valve body, or unusual noises during operation. Regular visual inspections and periodic functional tests, such as checking for proper flow control, can help detect early signs of valve issues. If any of these problems are identified, it's advisable to have the valve serviced by a qualified technician.
Q7: What is the warranty period for the PHYML tank, and what does it cover?
A: The warranty period for the PHYML tank typically ranges from 1 - 3 years, depending on the manufacturer. It usually covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and maintenance. However, it may not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or failure to follow the recommended maintenance schedule. Specific details regarding the warranty should be obtained from the manufacturer or supplier at the time of purchase.
Q8: Can the PHYML tank be modified to increase its flow rate range?
A: Modifying the PHYML tank to increase its flow rate range is generally not recommended without consulting the manufacturer. The tank's design, including the proportioner and piping system, is optimized for the specified flow rate range. Any modifications could potentially disrupt the balance of the system, affect foam proportioning accuracy, and void the warranty. If higher flow rates are required, it may be more appropriate to select a larger - capacity model or a different tank design.
Q9: How does the PHYML tank handle fluctuations in water supply pressure?
A: The PHYML tank is designed to operate within a certain working pressure range (0.8 - 1.2MPa). Fluctuations in water supply pressure within this range can be accommodated to some extent by the tank's components, such as the proportioner, which is designed to maintain a relatively stable foam - water mixing ratio. However, significant and prolonged pressure fluctuations outside this range can impact the tank's performance and may require additional pressure - regulating equipment to be installed in the water supply line.
Q10: Are there any specific regulations or standards that the PHYML tank must comply with in different regions?
A: Yes, the PHYML tank must comply with relevant fire protection regulations and standards in different regions. These may include local building codes, fire safety regulations, and international standards such as NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards in the United States or EN (European Norms) in Europe. It's important to verify the specific requirements of the region where the tank will be installed to ensure compliance.
