The issue of determining the fire protection category of equipment
Thread Content
If the feed to the reactor is of category A or B, the reaction occurs very rapidly, similar to combustion, and the product is of category C; then what category does this equipment fall into?
This device belongs to Class A fire protection category. Since the feed is classified as Category A or B and the reaction is similar to combustion, it is assessed at the most dangerous level. .
I see. Can it be understood that, under normal circumstances, the tank is mostly filled with Category C substances, since Category A substances can also pose a risk under certain conditions, such as when the supply of Category B substances is interrupted?
This is a hazardous chemical process that requires close supervision, right?
No, it’s just a simple reaction, using a 5-cubic reactor
Yes, you understand correctly. Even though the contents of the vessel are mainly of Class C substances for most of the time, considering the presence of Class A and Class B substances and their potential hazards, the entire installation should be subject to fire safety management in accordance with the highest level of hazard, namely Class A. This is done to ensure safety under any possible circumstances. .
Choose the higher one; Category A. However, equipment of boiler types is classified separately
If it is indeed combustion, such as the combustion of oxygen and fuel gas, this falls under Category D (high-temperature open flame)
