2. FIRE PROTECTION & DETECTION SYSTEM

System Description

Water shall be drawn from fire reserve tanks by electrically driven jockey
pumps & fire pumps. A standby diesel engine driven pump for fire hydrants,
deluge system and sprinkler system is provided. All pumps have separate suction
lines from the suction header and delivery is connected to the system. The
function of pumps is to maintain 3.5 Kg/Sq.cm at the farthest hydrant. Diesel
engine driven fire pump shall be of the same capacity and shall back up the
electrically operated fire hydrant / sprinkler pump, as per fire regulations. This
pump is operated in case of total electrical power or electrical pump failure.
Jockey pump is operated intermittently in order to take care of hydraulic losses in
the system and to maintain the minimum pressure.

- A/g Fire Water Storage Tank : 250 M3

Pumps:

- Main Pump (For Hydrant/Sprinkler) - 1 No, 273 M3/Hr, Head 71 m.

Elect. Driven Pump

- Standby Pump - 1 No, 273 M3/Hr ,Head 88 m

- Diesel Engine Driven Pump

- Jockey Pump Set - 1 No,10.8 M3/Hr ,Head 71 m.

Fire Hydrant System:

The Plant shall be provided with separate fire hydrant riser connected to the
hydrant landing valve with fire hose cabinet consisting of swinging hose reels,
fire man’s axe, 63 mm dia canvas hose and nozzles.
Externally, a fire fighting ring main shall be provided around the Plant.
External yard hydrants shall be suitably located at 30 meter centers. Necessary

hose pipe and nozzle shall be placed in a closed cabinet with glass shutters at
these yard hydrants.

We had design system for 6 cases in which the capacity for reservoir has
been taken as 250 m3. One electric driven pump of capacity 273 m 3 /hr , 71 m
Head and one diesel engine driven pump of capacity 273 m3/hr , 88 m Head
along with one jockey pump of capacity 10.8 m3/hr, 71 m Head have been
installed.

Working pressure:

1. The mains are always kept pressurized at 7.1 kg/cm 2. If the pressure reduces from
7.1 kg/cm2 due to leakage of line or deluge valve, the jockey pump operates and
automatically cut off at 7.1 kg/cm2.
2. When pressure reduce below 6 kg/cm 2, the Electric operated pumps (273 m3/hr)
operates and automatically cut off at 7.1 kg/cm2.
3. Still if pressure drops below 5.0 bars due to opening of several fire hydrant
points, electrical pump (273 m3/hr) will start ( along with diesel pump 273
m3/hr )

Design basis:

1) Flow rate consideration for Single hydrant (SH), Water Monitor (WM) & Fire
escape hydrant (FEH): 900 lpm. Flow rate consumption for single spray
nozzle considered as 90 lpm, there are 3 Deluge valves operating in whole the
system with 96 spray nozzles each. Flow rate consideration for single
sprinkler is depending on K Factor of that sprinkler and operating pressure at
that time. In our case we had considered as 40 sprinklers for Admin building
at 2 bar pressure having k factor 80 and for Warehouse sprinklers k factor will
be 360.
2) For analysis purpose we had considered, Furthermost point (Remotest
Hydrant) and remotest sprinkler.

CASE: 1

When all 3 pumps are in working conditions and only Hydrant to open and
no any sprinkler and Deluge valve will operate.

Flow rate for pumps = 556.8 m3/hr =0.1546 m3/s

Flow rate dedicated required for Sprinkler System = 0 m3/hr = 0 m3/s
Flow rate dedicated required for Deluge System = 0 m3/hr=0 m3/s

Flow rate available for SH /FEH = 556.8 m3/hr - 0 m3/h - 0 m3/hr = 556.8 m3/hr
= 0.1546 m3/s

Maximum Flow rate for Single Hydrant / FEH = 900 lpm = 0.015 m3/sec

FLOWRATE FOR PUMPS

Number of hydrants =
Maximum Flow rate for Single Hydrant∨FEH

= 0.1546 / 0.015
= 10.3
Therefore,
The total number of active hydrants = 11 Nos. with no sprinklers will operate

CASE: 2

When all 3 pumps operating and all Admin sprinklers is in operating

condition &
No Deluge valve is operating

Flow rate for pumps = 556.8 m3/hr = 0.1546 m3/s

Flow rate dedicated required for Sprinkler System = 270 m3/hr=0.075 m3/s
Flow rate dedicated required for Deluge System = 0 m3/hr=0 m3/s

Flow rate available for SH /FEH =556.8 m3/hr - 270 m3/hr = 376.8 m3/hr =
0.1046 m3/s

Maximum Flow rate for Single Hydrant / FEH = 900 lpm = 0.015 m3/sec

FLOWRATE FOR PUMPS

Number of hydrants =
Maximum Flow rate for Single Hydrant∨FEH

= 0.1046 / 0.015
= 6.97
Therefore,
The total number of active hydrants = 7 with all Sprinklers in admin area in
Active mode.

CASE: 3

When all 3 pumps operating and all Warehouse sprinklers is in operating

condition & no Deluge system is operating.

Flow rate for pumps = 556.8 m3/hr =0.1546 m3/s

Flow rate dedicated required for Sprinkler System = 305.5 m3/hr = m3/s
Flow rate dedicated required for Deluge System = 0 m3/hr = 0 m3/s

Flow rate available for SH /FEH = 556.8 m3/hr - 305.4 m3/hr = 251.4 m3/hr =
0.0698 m3/s

Maximum Flow rate for Single Hydrant / FEH = 900 lpm = 0.015 m3/sec

FLOWRATE FOR PUMPS

Number of hydrants =
Maximum Flow rate for Single Hydrant∨FEH

= 0.0698 / 0.015
= 4.65
Therefore,
The total number of active hydrants = 5 with all Warehouse sprinkler
System in Active mode.

CASE: 4

When all three pumps are operating and one Deluge Valve system is in
operating condition and no sprinklers will operate.

Flow rate for pumps = 556.8 m3/hr =0.1546 m3/s

Flow rate dedicated required for Sprinkler System = 0 m3/hr = 0 m3/s

Flow rate dedicated required for whole Deluge System = 518.4 m3/hr=0.144 m3/s

Maximum Flow rate for Single Hydrant = m3/sec

FLOWRATE FOR PUMPS

Number of hydrants =
Maximum Flow rate for Single Hydrant∨FEH

= 0.0106 / 0.015
= 0.71

Therefore,
The total number of active hydrants = 1.

Above mentioned all calculations are done at extreme operating conditions of

each individual system, Hence we can conclude that pump selected for whole
system delivers required flow rate and pressure satisfactorily.

Deluge System:

Deluge system design shall be compliant with the requirements of NFPA

15. Deluge valves are supplied from the appropriate firewater ring main at two
separate points to maintain supply under most foreseeable scenarios. Deluge
systems shall be of dry type downstream of the deluge valves and shall be
provided with both automatic and manual release actuation facilities.
Each deluge circuit shall have a manual release facility which shall be
located outside the area being protected. All deluge circuits shall have the
capability to be operated automatically from the F&G system (on detection of a
Confirmed Fire in the area), or by remote manual activation from the PCR (via the
F&G system). Release of a deluge circuit by any means shall be considered to be
a Confirmed Fire and shall be signalled to the F&G system via PSL (system
activated) and PSH (deluge valve open) pressure switches. The operation of
deluge places large quantities of water on the ground floor. Drains shall be
provided to evacuate this water and to prevent hydrocarbon release spilling over
the water and possibly spreading the fire.

Automatic Deluge system is considered for following areas

1 Main power Transformers for GTG 1, GTG2, STG
2 Unit Auxiliary transformers.
3 Turbine oil tank and oil treatment Area.
For Gas turbine combustion Chambers Dry powder type portable
extinguishers are considered.
