It snows in rivers state

rivers has enof problems

The Snowlike stuff is just Chemical Foam applied to blanket the spilled petroleum product.

It will reduce the risk of having an explosive atmosphere forming from the spill.

It will also discourage people from trying to scoop the Product.

Good combat strategy. Now do containment and recovery of that mess you made. Afterwards clean up. Don't forget to carry out a thorough investigation regarding what happened and that what lessons we can learn to avert such in future.. (For Nigeria? )


Also, the fire emergency response team is from Eni's NAOC fire fighting team. It is AGIP's fire fighting team. Not State or whatever. As a matte of fact, in River State it is usually the fire fighting team of oil companies that are called in such emergencies.

What sought of journalism is this! Was it the chairman that put out the fire or the fire service. Give honour to whom honour is due. The fire service averted the impending situation and not an Honourable.


Imagine saying a chairman collaborated with the fire service....smh

Kudos to Rivers people for not endangering their lives by trying to scoop

ANIEXTY:

That's not snow But FOAM to help prevent oxygen from entering the base of the fuel. Its actually one of the methods of fighting OIL fire.

That is NOT CORRECT Sir.


It is mainly:

-to prevent/impede the formation of explosive/charged atmosphere. (You recall your upper and lower explosive limits for various flammable gases and your hazardous area classification and ATEX rules?)

-to ensure the suppression of vapors to stop them from finding an ignition source.

-to cool the spill surface area with the water content of the foam.

-to emulsify the spilled products i.e. for some special kinds of foams.

Good, they acted fast


Meanwhile MMM peeps be like " 8 more days to Christmas"
