NEXT GENERATION of ThunderStorm!

“Minimize Risk — Maximize Success”. This philosophy has been the underlying reason we have enhanced the flow rates of our guns, developed Hydro-Foam tactics, increased the diameters of our hose, and advanced the chemistry of our foams throughout the course of our 30 year history. Pushing these envelopes has secured our safety and yours.

Leading the way in transforming industry’s fire response arsenal, we developed ThunderStorm® 1% PERFORMANCE based AR/AFFF foam concentrates — proven the best performing foam time after time by internal, collaborative, and regulatory testing … and most importantly real life firefighting.

In your commitment to safety, you have shared our high expectations when selecting the weapons you choose for defending your facility, and for the past 10 years Williams has supplied our ThunderStorm® brand of products as the solution — including ThunderStorm® 1X3 F-601A, 3X3 F-603A, 3X6 F-600A and numerous others.

Our dedication to the safety mission of industry is reflected in our ongoing investment in and development of the world’s finest firefighting products, and today we are proud to announce the latest result of our relentless pursuit … the next generation of ThunderStorm® foam concentrate.

The new formulation will produce greater performance listings and approvals, color codes, and packaging, will be 100% compatible in adjunct mixtures with current ThunderStorm® reserves, and in light of evolutionary trends in fuel stocks and polar solvent blends seen in the marketplace ThunderStorm® continues to provide effective applications to both hydrocarbon AND polar solvent fuels in one product!

ThunderStorm® labeling will now simply indicate a “B” on the end of the product reference code, i.e. ThunderStorm® 1X3 F-601B.

We will continue our efforts to further enhance the performance of your firefighting products — for foam generations to come!.

Thunderstorm™ achieves JFEII Certification

Japan Fire Equipment Inspection Institute (JFEII) Certification for a 1% foam concentrate rated suitable as a Storage Tank Fire Fighting Foam

Foam Concentrate Performance ...

With only two foam concentrate manufactures achieving this highly notarized standard, Williams in association with ANSUL are once again maintaining the forefront of 1% foam concentrate technologies.

Of the two certified products only Thunderstorm™ is freeze protected as well as being suitable for use as an AR-AFFF.

Following an arduous period of nearing 12-months of research and development by ANSUL’s Team of leading technology chemists, we have once again achieved a further bench mark in 1% AR-AFFF history.

The end result is Thunderstorm™ 1% F-601J freeze protected AR-AFFF.

Williams together with project partners Nihon Kikai Kogyo Co., Ltd. (NIKKI) are jointly pleased in the announcement the first deliveries within Japan were fulfilled during late 2008 and more recently the second quarter of 2009.

Thunderstorm™ 1% F-601J freeze protected AR-AFFF is now in place for the protection of a number of Hokkaido's strategic industrial assets covering refining and crude oil storage facilities.

Furthermore in an effort to assist regional Fire Departments with seasonal Fire Response Planning. Additional fire performance studies have been conducted in accordance to the JFEII fire performance criteria yet covering coastal seawater conditions and varying rates of concentrate proportioning which may affect certain Prefectures.

For formal study results, please provide your company and contact details via this link.

Alcohol Applications

Take a look at the video linked to the right for a study in proper foam application to an Ethanol based fire.

Beginning with a contrast of imroper foam application tactics, you will see the effectiveness of "foam cascading".

The end of the video will show you a side by side comparison of foam applications to a gasoline fire as opposed to an Ethanol fire.

 

Williams Fire & Hazard COntrol has found that with proper application tactics and use of the proper foam, Ethanol is actually an easier emergency scenario to handle than a fully involved gasoline fire

Following a response to an internal floating roof tank fire in Guatemala, Williams Fire & Hazard Control built a testing tank for studying the internal flammable dynamics of the seal surfaces and flammable vapor yeilds of this specific tank design.

Testing also included the pump room of the TEEX marine fire training facility at Texas A&M.

Addressing a surface fire above an internal floating pan is not sufficient to assure long-term extinguishment. Residual vapors that remain above the pan, but within the tank are extremely volatile following initial extinguishment and may ignite from various sources, i.e. hot steel, static charge, burnback, etc.

Williams Fire & Hazard Control has developed an advanced Dual-Agent response chamber that goes Beyond Compliance to deliver a two-phase extinguishment application to internal floaters - first of foam phase, then of PKW (dry-chemical) phase.

Designed and engineered for real world fire dynamics, COMPLIANCE PLUS equipment reaches beyond minimum standards to offer an edge to any automated or firefighter response in addressing actual characteristics of the fires in the industrial field.

Ethanol Emergency Response Coalition

EERCWilliams Fire & Hazard Control participated as a member with this organization last year to investigate the impact of Ethanol's growing presence in our public transportation spaces, and the effectiveness of response tactics and various foam blends when applied to Ethanol related fires.

Through a collective effort between representatives of industry, trade organizations, and the Independent Liquid Terminal Association the EERC have jointly produced a video documenting Ethanol Firefighting Foam test results.
