How is Tripolymer installed?
A. Once an oil, gasoline or chemical tank has been cleaned and prepared for abandonment, Tripolymer TM foam may be installed. A six-foot long application hose is attached at the exit point of the patented foaming gun. This hose allows the installer to direct the flow of foam down the fill pipe, directly into the tank. The foaming gun is turned on, and the flows of the three materials are adjusted to the proper pressures. From this point on, it’s just a matter of observation by the operator. Once the tank is full, foam will start to exit from around the application hose. Many times the foam will also exit the vent line if it hasn’t been plugged with debris or if there is no alarm. At this point the operator shuts off the foam gun, returns it to the truck and removes the fill and vent pipe. The job is then complete. In most situations, only one man is required to install Tripolymer TM foam. All of the equipment used in the foaming process is located on the truck and can be left there per
