3. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
3.1 Single Fire/Flammable Liquids or Gas Leak Risk
The fire fighting system is planned on the assumption that there will
be a single major fire or major leak of flammable liquids at a
time in block station and fires will not occur simultaneously
at different places in the same time at block station
(single jeopardize concept ).
3.2 Self Supporting System
The fire fighting system is based on the assumption that the block
station always permanently operate by operation persons for
24 hours continue and the fire mitigate by operation person
who in charge at the time using permanent fire protection
equipment which are available in the plant include fire water hydrant,
deluge system, foam system, dry chemical, or other fire
extinguisher based on the fire sources and location of fire. Fire
man using fire truck and no external fire fighting resources will be
supported by request from operation person.
3.3 Fire Fighting Agents T
The following fire fighting agents shall be considered as the
basis of fire fighting system design:
1) Water Water is applied for extinguishing fire, controlling fire
intensity, prevention of fire to cool down equipment exposed to
heat radiation by fire. Water should not be applied for
controlling fire intensity at electricity equipment such as
Switchgear, MCC, Voltage Regulator, and also should not be
applied into cryogenic liquid and fires because it will accelerate
the vaporization speed.
2) Foam Foam is an aggregate of air-filled bubbles formed from
aqueous solutions and is lower in density than flammable
liquids. It is used principally to form a cohesive floating
blanket on flammable and combustible liquids and
prevents or extinguishes fire by excluding air and cooling the
fuel. It also prevents re-ignition by suppressing formation of
flammable vapors. It has the property of adhering to surfaces,
which provides a degree of exposure protection from adjacent
fires.
3) Dry Chemical (portable and wheeled ) A dry chemical
extinguishing agent is powdered materials consist of Sodium
Bicarbonate or Potassium Bicarbonat. It is noted that there is a
possibility of re- flash of flammable material after extinction by
dry chemical. NFPA 10 for portable dry chemical extinguishers,
NFPA 11 for combined agent systems, and NFPA 17 for fixed
dry chemical system shall be used as a minimum
guideline.
4) Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing System Clean agent gas is
effective to extinguish fires in an enclosed space for
electrical installations, instrument/computer, sub-floor or
ceiling cable plenums and special machinery, where water
application is not permissible. When applying inert gas into such
enclosed space, the asphyxiation hazard to personnel
must be recognized and addressed .

5. FIRE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM


Fire water systems should be designed to supply sufficient quantities of water
to all areas of a facility. The facility fire water supply should be capable of
providing much of the anticipated demand with any "impairment" to the
system. An impairment could be the loss of a single fire pump, reduced
suction supply, a break in the distribution piping, a shut valve, or
other adverse condition. This means that looped and redundant
water supplies should be provided to minimize any single failure.
Firewater should be used for fire fighting purpose only so that a
required firewater amount is reserved all the time. T he quantity of
firewater supplied is sufficient to limit heat absorption to adjacent
equipment.
5.1 Fire Water Supply
There are two critical factors to consider when designing the water
supplies. These are adequacy and reliability. Adequacy of the systems is
determined by the capability of the supply to meet the flow and system
pressure requirements for the anticipated duration which is 4 hours.
The system must also be reliable under adverse conditions such
as those following an explosion, so redundancy should be
provided. Also, the onsite dedicated fire water storage should have
the capability of replenishment within 4 days. Fresh water from deep
well water is used as fire water source.
5.2 Fire Water Demand
Fire water demand in each area is determined on the calculation
basis on actual fire protection applied at each single fire scenario.
The largest firewater demand calculated shall be considered as
the "Plant Firewater Demand", as the basis to determine the
capacity of the plant firewater supply system and capacity of the fire
water pump required.
5.3 Fire Water Distribution
The fire water distribution systems should be sized to limit the
friction loss from the supply to the greatest hazard and to meet
the maximum fire water demand including expected fire hose and
monitor nozzle requirements. Future plans should be included in any
design. NFPA 24, "Standard for the Installation of Private Fire Service
Mains and Their Appurtenances" should be consulted for minimum
installation requirements. When laying out the fire water distribution
system the following should be considered :
 Sizing Fire Water Ring to take advantage of the water
supplies available. Large pumping capacities can be wasted if
the water distribution system can not deliver the water to the
desired areas at effective pressures. A looped or gridded
distribution piping is considered to the design.
 Providing adequate backflow prevention when public or other
potable supplies connect to the system.
 Provide a separate connection to the distribution system for each
supply.
 Burying distribution piping to prevent an explosion within the
facility from impairing the system.
 Providing adequate valving to isolate damaged section of the
systems. Fire Water Ring should have indicating-type sectional
valves located at appropriate locations on the grid. The
sectional valves should be installed at other appropriate
points in order to minimize the extent of impairments.
The isolating valves should be placed so that hydrants,
monitors, deluge & spray systems, sprinkler systems or other
fire protection systems could still operate by isolating the
problem using the valves. Sectional valves should be
arranged so that no more than five pieces of equipment (hydrant,
deluge valve, monitor, etc.) will be impaired at any one time

5.3.1 Fire Water Piping System
The firewater piping system is under ground, buried at 0.9 m
depth, except ground in tank area, under the building or
foundation of equipment. Buried section is protected by epoxy
tape wrapping and impressed current is used above. The
firewater system should be tested and flushed on weekly basis.
Lines is sized to provide the maximum required fire water
flow to fire area with an acceptable residual pressure not less
than 100 psig. The velocity of the fire water in the piping system
should not exceed 4.8 m/s (16ft/sec.) No underground line is
smaller than 6 inch.
The type of fire water pipe shall be in accordance with NPFA 24
and the applicable project pipe specifications.
For the fire water system, the pipes use material carbon steel with
150 #RF of rating.
5.3.2 Block Valve
For every 5 units of equipment’s (hydrant, monitor or
water sprinkle) or for every 243 meter distance, 1 block valve is
installed . The block valve is the Gate valve type. The Block valve
is installed at the control basin and easily operated from above
ground.
5.3.3 Fire Water Storage
Fire water storage is provided in accordance with NFPA 22. Fire
water is stored in a fire water pond. The quantity of fire water
stored is calculated by multiplying the maximum fire water
demand by four days. The quantity of fire water required is
dedicated to the fire water system. No other use of the fire
water is allowed. The pond have provisions for the refilling of the
fire water tank in a timely manner.
5.3.4 Fire Water Pump System
The main extinguisher pump is activated by electric motor with the
capacity appropriate for the area protected. Besides, the
firefighting system must be equipped with standby pump
activated by diesel engine with the capacity appropriate
for the area protected. One (1) electric motor-driven main pump
and one (1) diesel engine- driven as spare pump is provided.
The main fire water pump capacity shall be rated and
sufficient to supply the greatest fire water demand. Pumps
shall furnish not less than 150 % of rated capacity with not less
than 65 % of total rated head. Two (2) motor-driven jockey
pumps (1 running and 1 standby) shall be provided to
maintain fire water system to pressure of 15 psig above the
starting pressure of the main pump in the fire main header. The
rated capacity shall be at least 5% of fire water main pump
rated capacity. Fire water pumps is designed and installed as
NFPA 20 requirements .
Fire water pumps location consideration avoid the potential
loss of all pumping supplies at the same time. Location of fire
pumps is away from severe process hazards so that they will not
be damaged by explosion overpressures.
