Abstract
The system includes a snorkel leading from an intake up to a tank borne by an aircraft. A feed pump in the intake draws water up the snorkel to the tank. A polymer gel emulsion reservoir supplies polymer gel upstream of the feed pump for addition and activation of the polymer gel emulsion with the water. A separate pump within the tank provides for selectable recirculation within the tank and/or discharge out of the tank, such as out of a nozzle. Polymer gel emulsion can optionally be supplied at the tank pump rather than the feed pump for delayed addition of polymer gel emulsion to water carried by the aircraft.
