Iranian Firm Sets Up Equipped Laboratory for Testing Safety, Firefighting Equipment
“Among the equipment produced in our company, we can mention the remote control monitor used in fire departments,” Mansour Emami, the chairman of the board of directors of the knowledge-based company, told ANA.
“We are cooperating with Iran National Standards Organization (INSO) in line with the development of national standards for products,” he added.
Emami underlined the need for well-equipped laboratories to fulfill the national standards of firefighting equipment, and said, “In our knowledge-based company, we have set up a well-equipped laboratory with the aim of testing the safety and firefighting equipment.”
“At present, we can test and evaluate several products completely based on the national and even international standards,” he added.
In a relevant development in February, a knowledge-based company stationed at the Science and Technology Park of Kermanshah University in Western Iran for the first time in the country produced construction, firefighting and drilling foams with applications in oil industry.
“Three types of firefighting foam (liquid foam), foam concrete and drilling foam are produced in our company which are used for different purposes,” said Issa Mohammadi, the managing director of the knowledge-based company.
Noting that firefighting foams are produced in two different types, he said that the protein-based type is used for heavy fires like diesel and oil fires, and the chemical type is used for light fires such as airplane gasoline, etc.
“This product enjoys the power to create a water layer, and when it is sprayed on the fire, even if the foam is destroyed, the water layer remains and quickly extinguishes the fire,” Mohammadi said.
He described foam concrete as another product of his company, and said, “This foam replaces pumice stone in buildings which is lighter and is considered as a good insulator for heat.”
“Drilling foam is another product of the company, which is used to cool the drills, including those used in digging tunnels,” Mohammadi said.
