Full-Scale Experimental Study of Boilover Suppression by Floating Perlites
Boilover is the most dangerous occurrence in oil tank fires because it expands the burning field and may hurt firefighters by flame or severe radiant exposure. Because of the low density and cost of perlites, this study uses floating perlites on the surface of burning oil to study whether they can delay the occurrence of large-scale boilover and consequently prevent the flame enlargement. The experiment is performed in a round stainless steel pan with a diameter of 1 m and depth of 0.2 m, containing a 0.08 m layer of thick crude oil was used as fuel, above 0.07 m water. Zero, 1, and 2 layers of perlites are placed above the fuel to investigate their effects. Experimental results show that boilover does not occur after using the perlites, while it does occur in the experiment without perlites test. The use of the perlites can reduce the heat flux of radiation and the flame enlargement when boilover occurs, thus enhancing the fire safety of oil tanks and decreasing the risk of firefighting.
