Question: Is it feasible to build fire pump stations and circulating water systems in coal chemical enterprises?
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: For a newly established coal chemical plant of moderate scale, the fire pump stations (including fire water tanks and fire pump rooms) as well as the circulating water systems (open-type intercooling systems that are not explosion-proof) are not very large in size. To save space, is it feasible to integrate these facilities together? I haven’t found any regulations that prohibit this; indeed, Article 8.3.3 of the petrochemical standards GB50160 states that fire pump rooms should preferably be integrated with production and domestic water pump rooms, but nothing is said regarding circulating water systems. One potential issue I can think of is that water dripping from the cooling towers could cause problems, while the issue of air intake can be addressed through proper layout planning
The circulating water facility is quite noisy; if the fire pump station is built together with it, considering that both the fire control room and the duty room are located there, could this also have negative effects on personnel and fire management?
Thank you for following! Are you the user organization? If they are built together, are there any issues in actual use? I have never worked on a project involving joint development before; this is a new project, and I want to take the user’s needs into careful consideration. If there are really no major issues, then joint development would also be an option
Fire water and circulating water cannot be used together
It is possible: 1. According to the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Petrochemical Enterprises\", the \"Code for Fire Protection Design of Buildings\", the \"Fire Protection Law\", and the \"List of Safety Facilities for Hazardous Chemicals Construction Projects\" (provisional), no specific requirements are set for engineering design; therefore, as long as the relevant fire protection technical specifications and regulations issued at the local level are met, the project can pass the fire protection inspection. 2. Fire water can be used in conjunction with circulating water for emergency situations; it should also be combined with well water, and a diesel pump should be designed if necessary ； . 3. Design the pump room within the circulating water pump room; since enterprises in the north experience cold weather in winter, placing it indoors can effectively prevent a range of problems that arise during those seasons ； 4. The key is that the safety distance must be met. 5. The issue of water leakage from cooling towers can be resolved by using closed-type cooling towers, which also address the aforementioned problems.
Thank you for your attention. The water tanks definitely cannot be shared; the regulations make this very clear
