The risk present in the offshore oil and gas exploration and mining can create a highly combustible and unstable atmosphere, making it essential that fire prevention is done carefully. Offshore oil and gas fires are a serious safety hazard, affecting the environment by releasing toxic fumes and damaging surface infrastructure & human lives globally. Mine fires and rig fires cannot be directly attacked due to heat, smoke, accessibility, or hazardous roof conditions.

FOAMER DRILL FOAM is one way to prevent the fire from a remote, safe underground location. FOAMER DRILL FOAM is a blanketing and cooling agent produced by a combination of water, air, and foam concentrate. Drill foam is a means of conveying water directly to the drill, diluting the oxygen concentration by producing steam and blocking both air currents to the fire and radiant energy from the burning fuel. Apart from that, FOAMER DRILL FOAM also acts as a coagulant, and by removing cuttings from the drilled areas, it reduces downtime and fire risks.

FOAMER DRILL FOAM Concentrate is a biodegradable mixture of anionic surfactants [hydrophobic & hydrophilic couple] that has been formulated for use in the mineral, coal & water well drilling industries. Drill foam is effective in fresh, brackish, and hard water.

Advantages

• Environmentally friendly and biodegradable.
• Generates instant high-foam quality with exceptional stability.
• Economical, it produces stable foam at low concentrations.
• Reduces air requirements and allows deeper drilling
• Compatible with fresh, brackish, and saltwater.
• Effective in suppressing dust.
• Serves a dual purpose as a flame retardant and coagulant.

UTILIZATION TECHNIQUE

FOAMER DRILL FOAM Concentrate should be mixed with water at 0.5-1.5% by volume and injected into the air stream to obtain consistent foam. To control severe water influx, increase foam concentration and decrease injection rate. The rate of injection will depend on hole size, compressor output, water flow rate, etc.
