4.0 DESIGN BASIS FOR ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION

4.1 Mobile and Portable Equipment

4.1.1 Portable and Wheeled Extinguishers

Extinguishers shall be provided based upon an assessment of the hazards in each

area. The type, size and quantity shall be specified.
12 kg portable and 75 kg wheeled dry powder extinguishers suitable for types B
and C fires shall be provided throughout the plant in the areas to be protected.
Extinguishers shall be equipped with protection from the radiant heat of the sun.
5 kg portable and 30 kg wheeled CO2 extinguishers shall be installed in the area,
where electrical fires are expected.

cabinet shall be considered for fire extinguishers in outdoor area.

For detailed specification about fire Portable and Wheeled Extinguishers refer to:
Fire extinguisher Specification, AOGC-036-SA-ESS-001

5.0 FIRE AND GAS DETECTION SYSTEM

The objective of the fire and gas detection is to facilitate an early warning to
personnel of potentially dangerous situations in terms of flammable or toxic
atmospheres (gas) or fires .
The early warning signal will enable personnel to take remedial actions to reduce
effects of the dangerous situation and, certainly at least as important, personnel are
made aware of a dangerous situation.

The fire and gas detection system should be provided to perform, but not be limited
to, the following duties:
To monitor all designated areas for fire;
To monitor all areas where flammable or toxic materials might be present in
the course of normal operations;
To provide a facility for raising a fire alarm;
To alert personnel in the control room of any fire or gas emergence situation;
To alert personnel in the control room of any fault detected by self test
facilities;

All fire and gas display and information facilities shall be centralized in main fire
alarm panel in the control room.

The types of fire detection to be considered include;

flame detector

Toxic Gas Detector

Flammable Gas Detector
Flasher
Sounder
Manual Call Point

The selection of fire detectors for various areas on an installation shall be based
upon an evaluation of the prime fire indications and ambient conditions. For major
hazard areas, two different detection principles will be used.

Flame detectors, shall be installed wherever fast response is required.

Gas detectors shall be installed in the Hazardous areas:

Detectors shall be mounted at high or low level, or both, according to density of

expected gas release.

5.1 Flammable Gas Detection

Flammable gas detectors shall be located taking into account the following
criteria:
The most likely sources of leakage;
The proximity to possible sources of ignition;
The environment (dust, sand storms, humidity, vibrations and alignment).
The density of gas leak; detector shall be positioned under the expected leak
source for heavier than air gases and above the expected leak source for lighter
than air gases.

5.1.1 Flammable Gas Detection in Open Area

5.1.1.1 Point Type Flammable Gas Detection

5.1.1.1.1 Location

Gas detectors shall be installed near probable leak sources which could lead to
the formation of flammable gas clouds and includes the following locations:
Pig Launchers/Receivers
Chemical Storage Shelter
Diesel Generator Shelter
Wellhead facilities(unmanned Area)

5.1.1.1.2 Alarms and Action

When the presence of an accumulation of gas is corresponding to 20% lower

explosion limit (LEL), any one detector shall active as below:
A common audible alarm and visual alarm in F&G matrix panel in central
control room (CCR).

For flammable gas detectors located open area shall be provided two out of N
(2ooN) voting system. When two out of N, (2ooN) logic is achieved at 50% LEL,
the alarms and actions shall be activate as bellow:
A common audible alarm and visual alarm in central control room (CCR).
Audible and visual alarm in the concerned fire zone
Emergency shutdown unit (ESD1) shall be initiate within concerned fire zone
For single alarm at 50% LEL only a visual alarm on operating station shall be
notified .

5.2 Toxic Gas Detection

5.2.1 Toxic Gas Detection in Open Area

The H2S toxic gas detectors typically will be located at the following locations:

Pig Launchers/Receivers
Chemical Storage shelter
Wellhead facilities(unmanned Area)

5.2.1.1 Alarms and Action

When the presence of an accumulation of H2S is corresponding to 10 PPM

(IPS-E-PR-551), personnel shall escape from the area to the designed muster
area and wear musk and any one detector shall activate as below:
A common audible alarm and visual alarm in CCR
An audible alarm and visual alarm in concerned fire zone

When the presence of an accumulation of H2S is corresponding to 30 PPM, any

on gas detector shall activate as below:
A common audible alarm and visual alarm in CCR
An audible alarm and visual alarm in concerned fire zone
For toxic gas detectors shall be provided two out of N (2ooN) voting system.
When two out of N (2ooN) logic is activated at 30 PPM, the alarms and actions
shall be activated as below:
A common audible alarm and visual alarm in CCR
An audible alarm and visual alarm in the concerned fire zone
