Task

The LASTFIRE Study, an industry project sponsored by 16 oil companies to review the risks associated with fires in large floating roof storage tanks identified the need for a small scale fire test to evaluate the performance of firefighting foam for this special application.

A test procedure designed to simulate the special considerations for tank incidents such as forceful foam impact, hot tank walls and distorted tank shells was developed.
