In the set-up below, we attached the
eductor directly to the discharge. Note
a reducer was required. The maximum
length of hose past the eductor is 150'.

hydrocarbons. We pulled Ladder 26 out back and used our training foam and in line
eductor to flow foam on to the parking lot and grass. Some key points to know: our
eductor must have 200 PSI at the inlet to work properly. The gallonage of the eductor
must also match the gallonage of the nozzle. At this time, we do not have a nozzle on
Engine 21 that matches the eductor (the eductor is a 95 gpm eductor). The only
nozzles we have that match are on Tanker 22. We are working on that problem now.
Our foam concentrate capacity now will cover a hydrocarbon spill of approximately 60' x
60'. Any bigger, and you need help. Also remember that you must flow the required
amount for 15 minutes. Foam is a very intricate topic, and this web page alone cannot
cover all the details, so I may do this class again. Please look over the materials below
to help assist your ever expanding knowledge of foam.
