DEVELOPMENT OF A NANOMODIFIED FIRE EXTINGUISHING COMPOSITION FOR ROBOTIZED FIRE EXTINGUISHING INSTALLATIONS AT OIL PRODUCTS TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES

Abstract

The purpose of the research is to substantiate the possibility of using carbon nanostructures in robotic fire extinguishing installations at facilities with the circulation of petroleum products. The paper presents the results of measuring the surface tension and viscosity of water with a wetting agent modified with carbon nanostructures (astralens), as well as determining the mass burnout rate of a flammable liquid under the conditions of supplying a fire extinguishing agent. The results of measurements of the extinguishing time of a class B model focus and the time of thermal destruction of a foaming agent film on the surface of a combustible liquid are presented. Based on the research, it was concluded that fire extinguishing compositions modified with astralenes should be used in robotic fire extinguishing installations at facilities with the circulation of petroleum products in order to provide thermal protection and reduce the time to extinguish a fire.
