Regarding the installation of fire protection systems
Thread Content
What are the standards that must be followed for the installation of refining units and fire protection systems? For example, for 1.2 million tons of coking, 1 million tons of hydrogen production via hydrogenation, 1 million tons of atmospheric and vacuum distillation, 600,000 tons of heavy catalytic cracking, 200,000 tons of gas separation, as well as the associated facilities, a crude oil storage area of 200,000 tons, a refined oil storage area of 100,000 tons, and spherical tanks with a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters – what flow rate and head do the fire pumps need to have, and what diameter should the pipelines be? Thank you
1. Based on the scale of your enterprise, it should correspond to a basic level of fire-fighting water supply suitable for a medium-sized petrochemical company; the total amount of fire-fighting water can of course also be determined through calculations. It is recommended that you determine this through a reputable design institute. Because this involves issues related to fire protection design calculations. 2. If the fire-fighting water capacity is to be set in accordance with the standards for medium-sized refining and chemical enterprises, it should be no less than 150 L/S, or 540 m3/h... This can be achieved by using multiple fire pumps with low flow rates to form a pump cluster; usually only a few of these small pumps are operated to maintain water pressure, while more or all of them are turned on when needed. . . :lol
