With the development of modern petroleum industry, there are more and more types of flammable and explosive petroleum products, and major fires continue to occur during production, use, and storage. This type of fire is extremely dangerous, and once a fire occurs, it can cause significant loss of life and property. It is very difficult to extinguish such fires with water, so in order to reduce losses and seize fighter jets on the fire scene, higher requirements are put forward for the speed and efficiency of firefighting. Therefore, towards the end of the 19th century, people began researching equipment and chemicals for extinguishing such fires. Since then, more and more foam fire extinguishing equipment has been developed and widely used in the fire fighting of oil reserves, oil tanks and other fires, protecting the safety of people's lives and huge assets. It can be said that foam fire extinguishing equipment has played a pivotal role in petrochemical fires.

With the increasing importance of the chemical industry in the national economy, the production of the chemical industry itself is facing increasingly prominent safety issues. Large scale flowing fires are an important characteristic of fires in the chemical industry. Most chemical production involves liquid raw materials, which are prone to leakage, spillage, and escape due to various reasons, which may lead to flowing fires. How to extinguish fires in the chemical production process is particularly important. Understanding and mastering the characteristics of chemical plant fires is a prerequisite for successfully extinguishing them. Only by understanding and mastering the combustion performance of chemical raw materials and products, and the fire characteristics of chemical equipment and buildings, can we correctly select foam fire extinguishing equipment and agents, use the most effective process fire extinguishing means and tactical countermeasures, reasonably use forces, implement correct and effective command, and master the initiative of fire fighting.

A specialized terminal for loading and unloading crude oil and refined oil products. It should have a certain fire safety distance from ordinary freight terminals and other fixed buildings. The general characteristics of such terminals are small cargo loads and relatively simple loading and unloading equipment. When the oil tanker is not large (such as in inland river systems), generally lightweight types of terminals can adapt. With the construction and development of oil and chemical terminals in China, the types of loading and unloading oil and chemical products have increased, and terminal construction remains a major project for the development of the national economy. The dock tank area is the main storage and transportation site for oil and chemical products, so fire-fighting equipment plays a crucial role in the construction and operation of the dock. As the wharf fire fighting equipment, foam fire extinguishing equipment is the most commonly used and main fire fighting equipment. In the event of a fire, it can minimize the losses in the storage tank area and ensure the safety of the dock.
