4. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

4.1. Single Fire / Flammable Liquids or Gas Leak Risk

The fire fighting system shall be planned on the assumption that there will be a single
major fire or major leak of flammable gasses at a time in CNG station and fires will
not occur simultaneously at different places in the same time at CNG station (single
jeopardize concept).

4.2. Self Supporting System

The fire fighting system shall be planned on the assumption that the CNG Station
always permanently is operated by operation persons for continuously 24 hours and
the fire is mitigated by operation person who in charge at the time by using of the
permanent fire protection equipment’s which are available in the station include fire
water hydrant, deluge system, dry chemical, or other fire extinguisher base on the fire
sources and location of the fire. No external fire fighting resources will support by
request from operation person.

4.3. Fire Fighting Agent

The following fire fighting agents shall be considered as the basis of fire fighting
system design.
4.3.1. Water
Water is applied for extinguisher fire, controlling fire intensity, and preventing
of fire to cool down equipment’s exposed by heat radiation from fire. Water
shall not be applied for controlling fire intensity at electricity equipment’s such
switchgear, motor control centre (MCC), Voltage regulator and also shall not
be applied into fires on cryogenic liquid because it will accelerate the
vaporization speed.

4.3.2. Dry Chemical (Portable and Wheeled)

A dry chemical extinguisher agent is powdered materials consist of Sodium
Bicarbonate and Potassium Bicarbonate. It shall be noted that there is a
possibility of re-flash of flammable material after extinction by dry chemical.
NFPA 17 for dry chemical system shall be used as a minimum guideline, and
for portable of dry chemical extinguisher system shall refer to NFPA 10 fro
standard for Portable fire extinguishing system.
 FIRE FIGHTING & PROTECTION DESIGN
SPECIFICATION
GEI-QHSE-002-A4 Rev 0 Page 8 of 15

4.3.3. CO2 (Portable)

CO2 extinguisher fire by reducing the O2 content of the atmosphere to a point
where it will not support combustion. Reducing the O2 content form the
normal 21 % in air to 15 % will extinguish most surface fires, though for some
materials a greater reduction as low as 5 % is necessary, in some applications
the cooling effect of CO2 assists extinction.
NFPA 12 for CO2 extinguisher system shall be used as a minimum guideline,
and for portable of dry chemical extinguisher system shall refer to NFPA 10
fro standard for Portable fire extinguishing system.

4.3.4. Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing System

Clean agent Fire extinguisher is effective to extinguish fires in an enclosed
space for electrical installations, instrument/computer, sub-floor or ceiling
cable plenums and special machinery, where water application is not
permissible. When applying into such enclosed space, the asphyxiation
hazard to personnel must be recognized and addressed.

5. FIRE WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM

Fire water systems shall be designed to supply sufficient quantities of water to all areas
of a facility. The fire water supply shall be capable of providing of the anticipated demand
with any “impairment” to the system. An impairment could be the loss of single fire water
pump, reduced suction supply, a break in distribution piping, a shut valve, or other
adverse condition. This means that looped and redundant water supplies shall be
provided to minimize any single failure. Fire water shall be used for fire fighting purpose
only so that a required fire water amount is reserved all the time. The quantity of fire
water supplied shall be sufficient to limit heat absorption to adjacent equipment.

5.1. Fire Water Supply

There are two critical factors to consider when designing the water supplies. These
are adequacy and reliability. Adequacy of the systems is determined by the capability
of the supply to meet the flow and system pressure requirements for the anticipated
duration which is 2 (Two) hours. The system must also be reliable under adverse
conditions such as those following an explosion, so redundancy shall be provided.
Also, the onsite dedicated fire water storage shall have the capability of
replenishment within 2 (Two) hours.
Fresh water from deep well water is used as fire water source, when the fresh water
tank is commonly used as source for other services, the pumps for such services
shall take their suctions above the required fire water storage level so that a required
fire water amount is reserved all the time. The systems are integrated for plant
through separate connection point to fire mains. Fire water requirement shall be
designed to ensure the quality of fire water.

5.2. Fire Water Demand

Fire water demand in each area shall be determined on the calculation basis on
actual fire protection applied at each single fire scenario. The largest fire water
demand calculated shall be considered as the “ Plant Fire Water Demand” which is
the basis to determine the capacity of the plant fire water supply system and required
capacity for the fire water pump.

5.3. Fire Distribution System

The fire water distribution systems shall be sized to limit the friction loss from the
supply to the greatest hazard and to meet the maximum fire water demand including
the expected requirement for the fire hoses and fire water nozzles. Future plans
should be included in any design. NFPA 24, “ Standard for the Installation of Private
Fire Service Mains and Their Appurtenances” shall be consulted for minimum
installation requirements. When laying out the firewater distribution system, the
considerations shall be as follows :
a. Sizing distribution mains to take advantage of the water supplies available. Large
pumping capacities can be wasted if the water distribution system can not deliver
 FIRE FIGHTING & PROTECTION DESIGN
SPECIFICATION
GEI-QHSE-002-A4 Rev 0 Page 10 of 15

the water to the desired areas at effective pressures. This means a looped or
gridded distribution piping.
b. Sizing the distribution piping to meet anticipated demands with apart of the
distribution system out of service.
c. Burying distribution piping to prevent an explosion within the facility from impairing
the system.

Extinguisher water system must have design pressure of 970 kPa(g). A conceptual
fire water loop site plan drawing shall be presented. The fire water loop shall service
all areas.

5.4. Fire Water Piping System

The fire water piping system shall be underground, buried at 0.9 m depth, except
ground in vessel area, under building, or foundation of equipment. Buried section
shall be protected by epoxy tape wrapping and impressed current shall be used
above. The fire water system shall be tested and flushed on weekly basis.
Lines shall be sized to provide the maximum required fire water flow to the area that
requires that flow with an acceptable residual pressure not less than 700 kPa(g). All
valves shall considered open at the time of maximum flow to take full account of
parallel flow. The velocity of the fire water in the piping system shall not exceed than
3.5 m/s. Underground line shall not be smaller than 6 inch.
The type of fire water pipe shall be in accordance with NFPA 24 and the applicable
project pipe specifications.

5.5. Fire Water Storage

Fire water storage shall be provided in accordance with NFPA 22, fire water shall be
stored in an atmospheric storage tank. The stored quantity of fire water shall be
calculated by multiplying the maximum fire water demand by 2 (Two) hours. The
quantity of fire water shall be dedicated to the fire water system. No other use of the
fire water shall be allowed. The storage tank shall have provisions for the refilling of
the fire water tank in a timely manner.

5.6. Fire Water Pump System

The main fire extinguisher pump is activated by electric engine driven with the
appropriate capacity for the area which will be protected. Besides, the system must
be equipped with stand-by pump activated by diesel engine with the capacity
appropriate for the area which will be protected. 1 (One) electric driven pump as main
pump and 1 (one) diesel engine driven as spare pump shall be provided. The main
fire water pump capacity shall be rated and sufficient to supply the greatest fire water
demand. Pumps shall furnish not less than 150% of rated capacity with not less than
65 % of total rated head.
