 1- SCOPE OF DESIGN
This document defines the Design Basis for Fire Water system and water deluge system
used for the following purposes:

 Design of Fire Hydrant System.

 Design of Fire Deluge System.

 Design of Beam Detection System.

2- CODES & STANDARDS FOLLOWED

1) Main Yard and Outdoor Fire Hydrants System NFPA - 24 & 26

2) Water Monitors System NFPA - 11

3) Deluge fire Protection System NFPA - 13 & 15

4) Piping & Hose System NFPA - 14(1961 -62 edition)

5) Fixed Water Spray System NFPA - 15

6) Automatic Fire Detection System NFPA - 72(A-E)

7) Water Supply System NFPA - 13,15,20&22

8) Fire Pumps NFPA - 13 & 20

The fire protection system design will be adequate for the site conditions, to provide a
high degree of protection to the plant, equipment's, buildings and employees.

 4- FIRE FIGHTING WATER & PUMP DEMAND CALCULATION
The source of water for the Fire Water Systems will be the proposed underground water
storage with proposed automatic water make-up line for level control.

Water supply Detail are as under according to the Fire Scenarios:

FIRE SCENARIO (1): 2 Fire Monitor, 1 HOSE REEL and 180 DELUGE NOZZLES ARE
OPERATING.
DENSITY 0.6 GPM/SQFT 24.6 L/MIN MSQ
MAXIMUM COVERAGE AREA 6400 SQFT
PUMP DEMAND 3874 GPM
DISCHARGING SPRINKLER 180 Nos
MAXIMUM SPACING 6 SQ.FT
SINGLE SPRINKLER REQUIRED FLOW 21.52222 GPM 81.48 L/M
ADDITION FLOW ALLOWANCE 2 MONITOR + 1 HOSE 565 GPM
TOTAL PUMP REQUIRED 4439 GPM
WATER RESERVIOR REQUIRED 266340 US GALLONS

FIRE SCENARIO (2): 2 Fire Monitor, 1 HOSE REEL and all 720 DELUGE NOZZLES ARE
OPERATING.
DENSITY 0.6 GPM/SQFT 24.6 L/MIN MSQ
MAXIMUM COVERAGE AREA 6400 SQFT
PUMP DEMAND 15496 GPM
DISCHARGING SPRINKLER 720 Nos
MAXIMUM SPACING 6 SQ.FT
SINGLE SPRINKLER REQUIRED FLOW 21.52222 GPM 81.48 L/M
ADDITION FLOW ALLOWANCE 2 MONITOR + 1 HOSE 565 GPM
TOTAL PUMP REQUIRED 16061 GPM
WATER RESERVIOR REQUIRED 963660 US GALLONS

 5- REQUIRED FIRE PUMP SPECIFICATIONS

FIRE SCENARIO (1): 2 Fire Monitor, 1 HOSE REEL and 180 DELUGE NOZZLES ARE OPERATING.

Flow Head Quantity

Pump Type
(GPM) (m) (set)

ELECTRIC FIRE PUMP 4500 15.3-Bar 1

DIESEL FIRE PUMP 4500 15.3-Bar 1

JOCKEY FIRE PUMP 300 16.3-Bar 1

 Electric Driven Fire Water Jockey Pump ( 01 No )

o Flow= 68.1 m3/hr. , Head= 16.3 Bar
 Electric Driven Fire Water Pump ( 01 No )
o Flow= 1022 m3/hr., Head= 15.3 Bar
 Diesel Driven Fire Water Pump ( 01 No )
o Flow= 1022 m3/hr., Head= 15.3 Bar

Above 03 x pumps have auto start & stop sequence as per NFPA through pressure
switches installed on main fire water header. During normal scenario electric driven
Jockey Pump maintains the main header pressure.
