Abstract:

Fire protection refers to prevention & reduction of fire hazards to protect people, properties and environment with the application of scientific & engineering principles. The purpose of this project was to assess the existing fire water system and define the fire water requirement for the combined new and existing facility modifications for the Gas Oil Separation facility.

The objective of this project was to select the most suitable location for fire water tanks and pumps and also to determine the fire water requirements, the capacity of fire water tank, the capacity of fire water pumps, and the firefighting requirements for the facilities.

Based on the options study for locating the firewater pumps and firewater tanks, it was concluded that new firewater tanks and new firewater pumps are to be located in the greenfield location.

Two main firewater pumps of 2000 USGPM each was considered for the simulation and the requirements such as minimum residual pressure at the hydraulically most remote piece of firefighting equipment were met. Firewater tank capacity, Firewater pump discharge pressure and existing line size of firewater network were assessed to be adequate to cater for the maximum firewater demand scenario.
