Walk through a marine fire pump and foam yard in 3D. Pick a scenario, switch between views and see which pipes carry flow, from the sea water barrels and the pump station to the foam group, the jetty lines and the hydrants.

Fire Pump and Foam Yard: 3D Flow Demo
Scenarios in the demo
- Standby: vertical jockey pumps J-1 and J-2 hold system pressure from the fresh water tank. The fire pumps are stopped.
- 1 pump, 4 remote hydrants: pump P-1 runs and sea water rises through the 10 m barrel. Four adjacent hydrants at the most remote point are open, about 629 m from the station, and only the pipe on that route carries flow.
- 3 pumps, 4 remote hydrants: P-1, P-2 and P-3 run with the same four hydrants open. All other hydrants and pipes stay idle.
- Foam and pile cooling: the jetty scenario with 3 pumps, SureX foam pumps K-1 and K-2 with the foam proportioner (3 %), foam solution to the foam pits and pile cooling spray on.
Equipment and views
- 3,500 gpm at 150 psi diesel vertical turbine fire pumps drawing sea water, with the deck at +8 m and the barrel intake at −2.00 m.
- 35 gpm at 150 psi vertical jockey pumps on a fresh water tank.
- SureX diesel foam pumps, FM approved, 200 gpm at 160 psi, with a diaphragm foam tank and a foam proportioner.
- Seven views: Overview, Pump station, Foam group, North jetty, Existing plant, Barrels and sea, and Remote hydrants. Labels, the existing network and the pipe lengths can be switched on and off.
Limits of the demo
This is a demonstration model of a marine fire pump and foam yard. It is not a hydraulic calculation, and the pipe lengths are approximate. Pump selection, pipe sizing and the foam system design must be confirmed for each project; contact us for project support.

Frequently asked questions
What does the demo show?
A marine fire pump and foam yard in 3D: diesel vertical turbine fire pumps, fresh water jockey pumps, foam pumps, the ring main and hydrants. Animated flow shows which pipes are in use in each scenario.
Is this a hydraulic calculation?
No. It is a demonstration model. Pipe lengths are approximate and the demo does not calculate pressure or flow.
Which equipment is shown?
3,500 gpm at 150 psi diesel vertical turbine fire pumps, 35 gpm at 150 psi vertical jockey pumps, SureX diesel foam pumps (FM approved, 200 gpm at 160 psi), a diaphragm foam tank, a 3 % foam proportioner and the fire pump controllers.
Is there a Turkish version?
Yes. Use the EN and TR buttons in the demo, or open the Turkish page.
