Fire Safety - Petroleum Refinery

04/27/2010 2:35 AM

I need to get the design basis for arriving at the sizing and number of fire water pumps and the jockey pumps (normal and standby) for fire protection in a petroleum refinery. Can anyone let me know available reference guidelines? Thanks.

Your water in a refinery will serve the purpose of cooling down structures and product in the fire. You should also foresee water storage and supply source. The most important is to have foam as fire fighting product. In the design of the water supply you should start with a risk evaluation. The critical points, the stored masses of liquids and gases and their containers. There are big refineries and small ones. Your water infrastructure and mobile units need to be part of a total plan, and that depends on "HOW BIG RISK" and the safety and economics around it. Refineries can differ many times more in size than different apples do.
