A highly boosted capillary porous foam generator for gas (steam) mechanical foam is developed. It contains the inlet and outlet nozzles, nozzles for supply of the foam generating solution and foam discharge, package of the foam generating meshes with increased sizes and sprayer. In order to increase capacity and improve the foam characteristics, the generator is equipped with a capillary patch and forming channel. The capillary patch is located at the external surface of perforated pipe that supplies the foam generating solution, and the forming channel is installed outside of the capillary patch with feeder. Additionally, the foam generator has control plates located at both sides of the feeding device, where the plates at both sides pass into a spring guiding viewfinder, also the packet of foamed grids with increasing size in the direction of gas flow is made with dimensions 0.4x0.55.
