Stainless Steel Tank Mobile Foam Unit
100–210 Liter Capacity | SS 304/316/304L/316L | Marine & Offshore Grade | Fixed/Variable Inline Inductor | Foam Branch Pipe
Product Overview
The Stainless Steel Tank Mobile Foam Unit represents the pinnacle of corrosion-resistant mobile foam suppression technology, engineered specifically for the harshest marine, offshore, coastal refinery, and petrochemical environments where conventional carbon steel or FRP units face accelerated degradation. Constructed with premium-grade austenitic stainless steel tanks (304, 316, 304L, or 316L) welded to heavy-duty stainless or MS chassis, these units deliver unmatched longevity in salt spray, acidic atmospheres, and high-humidity conditions. Available in capacities from 100 to 210 liters, each unit integrates a precision-matched inline inductor (fixed or variable proportioning at 3% or 6%), low-expansion foam making branch pipe (225, 450, or 600 LPM), and type I or type II fire hoses with instantaneous coupling systems for rapid deployment to hydrocarbon and chemical fire scenarios.
Every component—from the tank and chassis to inductors, branch pipes, and couplings—can be specified in aluminum or stainless steel grades (304/316) to create a fully corrosion-proof system with 25+ year service life expectancy even in the most aggressive operating environments. The mirror-polished or brushed stainless finish eliminates paint degradation concerns, reduces maintenance intervals, and maintains professional appearance throughout decades of service. Heavy-duty pneumatic or solid rubber wheels ensure smooth maneuverability across offshore platform decks, ship holds, and industrial concrete floors, while the balanced design allows single-operator handling during emergency response. Backed by comprehensive material test certificates (MTC), full-penetration weld inspection, NABL-accredited hydrostatic and performance testing, and ISO 9001:2015 quality systems, these units meet the stringent requirements of international oil majors, offshore contractors, marine classification societies, and coastal industrial facilities across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Singapore, Norway, UK, and 20+ countries worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
We provide complete material traceability including EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates for all stainless steel components, weld procedure specifications (WPS) and procedure qualification records (PQR) per AWS/ASME, hydrostatic test certificates, dimensional inspection reports, performance test records, and ISO 9001:2015 quality documentation. For marine applications we can arrange classification society approvals (DNV, ABS, Lloyd's, BV) and NABL lab testing per project requirements.
Standard stainless steel mobile foam units typically require 4–6 weeks for manufacturing including material procurement, TIG welding, polishing/finishing, testing, and quality documentation, subject to quantity and customization level. Marine classification society approvals may add 2–3 weeks for surveyor inspection and documentation. Sea freight transit time varies by destination; air freight options available for urgent offshore projects.
SS 304 (18-8) offers excellent general corrosion resistance for most industrial and marine environments at lowest cost. SS 316 (18-10-2) adds 2–3% molybdenum for superior resistance to chloride attack, making it preferred for offshore platforms, coastal refineries, and seawater contact applications. 304L and 316L "low carbon" variants (<0.03% carbon vs. standard <0.08%) provide improved weld zone corrosion resistance and are specified when extensive welding or sensitization concerns exist. For most marine/offshore applications we recommend SS 316 or 316L tank with SS 304 or MS chassis depending on budget.
Yes, we can arrange classification society type approval and production surveyor inspection per DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, or other society requirements for marine and offshore installations. This includes review of design drawings, welding procedures, material certificates, witness testing, and final product inspection. Classification approval adds approximately 2–3 weeks to standard lead time and requires advance coordination with the specific society. Contact us with your project requirements for detailed timeline and process.
We provide comprehensive global support including spare parts supply (hoses, inductors, branch pipes, couplings) typically dispatchable within 3–5 working days to major ports worldwide, 24/7 WhatsApp technical support across all time zones, complete operating and maintenance manuals, remote troubleshooting via video call, and commissioning support coordination. For major offshore projects we can arrange site visits by experienced technicians. All units include 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects; extended service agreements available for long-term offshore installations.
What is a Stainless Steel Tank Mobile Foam Unit?
A Stainless Steel Tank Mobile Foam Unit is a premium-grade, corrosion-resistant wheeled foam cart engineered for the harshest marine, offshore, and coastal industrial environments where conventional carbon steel or FRP units face accelerated degradation. The unit combines an austenitic stainless steel tank (grades 304, 316, 304L, or 316L) fabricated by TIG welding to marine construction standards, mounted on a heavy-duty mild steel or stainless steel chassis with large pneumatic or solid rubber wheels for single-operator maneuverability. Integrated components include an inline foam inductor (aluminum or stainless steel construction) providing fixed or variable proportioning at 3% or 6%, a low-expansion foam making branch pipe matched to the inductor flow rate (225, 450, or 600 LPM), and type I or type II fire hoses with instantaneous couplings complying with IS/BS standards. The entire system is designed for rapid connection to a pressurized water supply (typically 7–10 kg/cm²) to deliver pre-proportioned foam solution to hydrocarbon and chemical spill fires in refineries, tank farms, loading terminals, offshore platforms, marine vessels, and coastal petrochemical facilities.
