It is stated that fire protection of facilities for oil and petrochemical industries is greatly facilitated by using foams with a different multiplicity factor as a tool for fighting fires. The main aspects of the inert gases influence on the foam stability, a multiplicity factor and the time of its complete destruction are studied. It is shown that when using the inert gas as an additive, the foam stability and the time of its collapse increase. It is also found that when adding an inert gas to the foaming agent the time of the foam complete destruction is doubled.
