Minwen Fire · industrial and high-hazard supply
Foam suppression components, industrial monitors, deluge valves, trolley extinguishers and pillar hydrants for tank farms, hangars, chemical plants and warehouses. Quoting these correctly depends less on the catalogue than on what your system design already fixes.
The situation
A building order is settled by quantity and compliance schedule. A tank farm or a hangar is settled by what burns, how fast, and what the destination market still permits you to put on it. Three constraints do most of the damage when they are discovered after the order.
The agent is regulated, not just specified. PFAS-containing AFFF is restricted or being phased out in several markets. That is a legal question about your destination before it is a purchasing question about our factory.
The system design fixes the product list. Roof type, chemical class, flow requirement and actuation method are decided upstream of us. When they are missing from an enquiry, any quotation is a guess wearing a price.
Lead times differ per line, not per order. Foam concentrate, a motor-driven monitor and a deluge station do not run on the same schedule, so a single delivery date across a mixed BOQ is a date somebody will miss.
Who this is for
High-hazard supply is not a bigger version of building supply. The agent has to suit the fuel, the flow has to suit the tank, and the actuation has to suit how fast the fire develops.
Best for fuel storage tanks, aircraft hangars, loading terminals and chemical plants. AFFF or FFFP concentrate, bladder tanks, proportioners, foam chambers, foam makers, monitors, nozzles and deluge foam systems — as components or a complete package against your BOQ.

Best for long-range cover over yards, tank farms, port facilities and high-value assets. Oscillating monitors from 500 to 8,000 L/min, manual or motor-driven, including foam-water combination types, in stainless steel or aluminium alloy for chemical resistance.
See the product family See hydrants & monitors
Best for hangar deluge, transformer protection and high-hazard process areas where the whole zone must be wetted at once. Pneumatic, electric or hydraulic actuation, supplied as complete deluge valve stations with pilot system components. CE confirmed for this line.

Best for mobile first attack across large process and warehouse areas. Trolley ABC dry powder at 20, 35, 50 and 100 kg; trolley CO₂ at 10 and 25 kg; foam trolley at 45 L and 100 L. CCC and ISO 9001 certified.

Best for site perimeter hydrant rings and fixed monitor platforms on tank farm bunds. Pillar hydrants in DN100 and DN150, landing valves, and monitors for fixed-platform installation where water has to arrive reliably rather than quickly.

Six application types cover most of what we quote. Each one changes the product list, and the notes column is where the selection actually turns.
| Application | Key products | What changes the selection |
|---|---|---|
| Fuel storage tank farm | Foam chambers, foam makers, AFFF concentrate, foam monitors, deluge valves, pillar hydrants | Fixed-roof or floating-roof — it decides chambers versus makers |
| Aircraft hangar | Deluge valves, foam monitors, high-flow foam nozzles, AFFF concentrate | High flow rate and fast application speed |
| Chemical process plant | Dry powder trolley extinguishers, fixed monitor, hydrant ring | Agent compatibility with the specific chemical class |
| Warehouse / logistics | Ceiling sprinklers (ESFR for high-rack), trolley extinguishers, hose reels | ESFR sprinklers to be confirmed at inquiry |
| Marine / offshore platform | Foam systems, monitors, marine-grade extinguishers | SS316 marine-grade materials, confirmed at inquiry |
| Power station / substation | Transformer deluge protection, CO₂ extinguishers, clean agent systems | Electrical areas need non-conductive agents |
Evidence
On high-hazard work the sample stage is not a formality. Samples run on the standard production lines with the same material specification as the bulk order, so what you test is what you receive.
Red flags
High-hazard orders fail on regulation and compatibility more often than on manufacturing. These are the ones that cost real money after delivery.
PFAS and AFFF regulatory restriction. AFFF concentrates containing PFAS compounds are subject to restriction or phase-out in the EU, Australia and the United States. Verify regulatory acceptance in your destination market before ordering, and consult your local environmental regulator or fire protection engineer. We will supply what your market permits; we will not tell you your market permits it.
Roof type not stated for a tank farm. A fixed-roof tank takes foam chambers; a floating-roof tank takes foam makers. Quoting without the roof type produces a bill of materials that cannot be installed.
Agent picked before the chemical class. Dry powder, foam and clean agent are not interchangeable across process hazards, and an electrical area needs a non-conductive agent. Send the chemical class with the enquiry.
Marine service assumed to be standard stainless. Offshore and marine work needs SS316, and that is a confirmation at inquiry rather than a default. Standard grades will pass inspection and fail in service.
Common questions
We supply all the components: AFFF or FFFP concentrate, bladder tanks, proportioners, foam chambers for fixed-roof tanks, foam makers for floating-roof tanks, foam monitors, foam nozzles and deluge valves. Send the tank schedule with roof types and we quote against it line by line.
That depends on the market and it is your call to confirm, not ours. PFAS-containing AFFF is restricted or being phased out in the EU, Australia and the United States. Check with your local environmental regulator or fire protection engineer before ordering, and tell us the outcome so the quotation matches it.
500 to 8,000 L/min, manual or motor-driven, including foam-water combination types. Construction is stainless steel or aluminium alloy depending on the chemical exposure at the installation point.
Pneumatic, electric or hydraulic. Valves are supplied as complete deluge stations with the pilot system components, rather than as a bare valve you then have to assemble around.
Sprinklers, alarm valves and deluge valves. CE is not confirmed for extinguishers, hydrants, hoses or cabinets. The factory operates under ISO 9001 across all lines, and we state the difference before a tender rather than after.
ABC dry powder at 20, 35, 50 and 100 kg; CO₂ trolley at 10 and 25 kg; foam trolley at 45 L and 100 L. Portable units are available for hazardous area use. All CCC and ISO 9001 certified.
Sample review is 15–20 days from payment confirmation. Bulk production runs 35–60 days from order confirmation. On a mixed BOQ we quote lead time per line item, because foam concentrate and a motor-driven monitor do not run on the same schedule.
ESFR is named in the application table because it is what high-rack storage usually requires, not because it is a stock line here. Confirm the ESFR requirement at inquiry and we will state what we can supply against it and what would have to come from elsewhere. For standard-rack warehouse work our ceiling sprinklers, trolley extinguishers and hose reels cover the scope.
Multi-product orders ship together in one consignment. High-cube container packing is coordinated for mixed cargo, which matters when foam concentrate drums, a motor-driven monitor and flat-packed cabinets travel in the same booking. EXW, FOB and CIF are all available; we can work with your nominated forwarder or recommend one.
Yes. Third-party pre-shipment inspection is supported, including SGS, Bureau Veritas and Intertek. Nominate the agency at order stage and we coordinate access and documentation.
BOQ review
Application, roof type or chemical class, flow requirement, destination market. We reply within one business day with a line-item quotation, the certifications that apply to each line, and a production timeline.
