Fire Pump Size Calculation: Project

This document provides calculations for sizing fire pumps for a 6 x 5.8 MW co-gen power plant project in Nigeria. The maximum estimated firewater demand is 4365 LPM based on the scenario of a major fire in the MVWS system of the Cable Cellar requiring 2565 LPM along with 1800 LPM from two fire hydrants. A 4733 LPM firewater pump is selected to meet the demand of a single fire risk area. The firewater supply will come from a dedicated firewater storage tank and pump system with the fire water ring main sized to supply 284 cubic meters per hour.

1. DESIGN BASIS
1.1 The fire fighting system is designed on the basis of major fire with a single fire risk area at a
time.
1.2 No simultaneous occurrence of fire, either within a single fire area or in multiple locations in
the plant, is considered.
1.3 The fire areas is defined as areas which are bounded by the limits of a credible fire escalation
event. In order to have a useful subdivision of the fire areas, the fire areas may be divided into fire
zones. The fire zones in open plant section as per Annexure I.

2. FIRE WATER DEMAND


The fire water demand is determined based on the largest single fire water demand from the
respective area requirements in the plant.
The estimated firewater demand is sum of water required for fire protection fixed systems(e.g.
water spray system, sprinkler system) and manual firefighting equipment (e.g. fire hydrant, fire
monitor ) based on a single major fire breaking out in one fire risk area at any one time over the
entirety of the site. The biggest firewater demand of one of the fire risk areas is total firewater
demand.

For the purpose of estimating total firewater demand, followings are considered:

a. Firewater demands for one (1) Fire monitors + fixed water spray system.
b. Firewater demands for two (2) Fire hydrants + fixed water spray system
c. When estimating firewater demand for fire water monitors, fire hydrant and fixed water
spray system the following considerations are used:
(1) One (1) Fire water monitor : 1750 LPM
(2) One (1) Fire hydrant : 900 LPM
(3) Fixed water spray system: as per Annexure I.

The fire water demand is estimated by considering several fire scenarios. The biggest incident
scenario would be the following:

The maximum firewater demand is estimated at 4365LPM for any single major fire case at MVWS
system of Cable Cellar (2565 LPM) with application of 2 hydrant points (1800LPM) . Based on
preliminary firewater estimates, the MVWS system of Cable Cellar have been indicated as
producing the higher firewater demand during a single fire incident.

The largest fixed water demand of MVWS system of Cable Cellar 2565 LPM & One fire water
monitors, 1,750LPM or 2 fire hydrant:1800LPM (900LPM each)

Total fire water demand of single fire risk area : 4365LPM

2. Firewater Pumps
Therefore 4733LPM(284m3hr) pump is selected & it is sufficient for major fire at a single fire risk
area at a time. For estimated water demand of each single fire zone, refer to Annexure I.
3. Fire Water Supply
The water for firefighting system shall be supplied a dedicate fire water storage tank and pump
system.
The fire water ring main will be sized to supply the estimated water demand of 284m /hr. 3

Pressure rating of the pump is 120 MWC for satisfactory functioning of water monitor & hydrant
system at boiler top area.
