This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A recent report describes the development of a new transportable water-pumping unit for firefighting. The compact, self-contained unit provides fire protection at coastal and inland ports and is lighter than a standard firetruck pumper of the same capacity. Incorporating aerospace technology and materials, the unit is a skid-mounted gas turbine and pump that delivers up to 2,4000 gal/min of water at a discharge pressure of 150 lb/in2. The water source can be any open stretch of freshwater or saltwater or a high-capacity fire hydrant. The unit primes itself and can draft water to a height up to 20 feet. The unit can be operated from a riverbank, light truck, trailer, dock, barge, or boat. It can be transported by truck, trailer, boat, forklift, or helicopter. It can be used to fight fires in harbors, cities, forests, refineries, chemical plants, and offshore drilling platforms. Other possible applications include cleaning up oilspills, pumping out ships, and flood-control pumping. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Tech. Transfer, Div., P.O. Box 8757, BWI Airport, MD 21240; (301) 621-0100. Inquiries concerning rights for the commercial use of the invention described in the report should be addressed to the Patent Counsel, Marshall Space Flight Center, Refer to MFS-25784/TN.
