Horizontal Bladder Tank (Foam Storage Tank) is manufactured using high-strength carbon steel material and pressure-resistant elastomer membrane to safely store foam concentrate in fire suppression systems and deliver it to the main water line at precise ratios in the event of a fire. Operating on the principle of hydrostatic pressure, the system offers uninterrupted extinguishing performance without the need for an external foam pump or power source.
Horizontal Bladder Tank System Advantages
- Thanks to its horizontal body architecture, it provides easy installation and high stability in areas with low ceiling height or limited space.
- The special elastomer membrane (bladder) inside completely prevents water and foam concentrate from mixing, ensuring that the foam can be stored for a long time without degradation.
- It offers fast and trouble-free on-site installation with pre-piped or standard valve configuration options.
- It is safely preferred in aircraft hangars, petrochemical plants, fuel storage areas, and marine applications where flammable and combustible liquids are present.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does the Horizontal Bladder Tank function in a fire suppression system?
The Horizontal Bladder Tank preserves the foam concentrate without contacting water thanks to the flexible membrane inside; in the event of a fire, it transfers the foam to the Proportioner equipment via line pressure, ensuring the water-foam mixture is obtained at a precise ratio.
What certificate does the Horizontal Bladder Tank have?
Our product has a CE Certificate (Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU), which is the Declaration of Conformity to European Standards.
Do Horizontal Bladder Tank models require external energy or a pump?
No, Horizontal Bladder Tank systems operate at full performance directly with the existing water pressure in the fire suppression line, without needing any external electrical energy or additional foam pump.
