200000 Liters.

 

1950000 Liters.

 

 

The storage godown has a warehousing facility for the storage of Petroleum Class "A" / "B" / "C" products in barrels, in non - bulk category. The products will be received in tankers or pre - filled drums. The material received in tankers will be emptied and filled in drums for storage.

 

The following are the Fire Fighting Facilities:

 

Portable Fire Extinguishers

 

Foam - 14 Nos. (10kg capacity)
Foam -   7 Nos. (50kg capacity)

 

Fire Buckets

 

For each godown - 6 Nos. (total 42 Nos.)

 

Hydrant System

 

The system consists of –

 

Hydrant points - 

7 Nos.

Hydrant hoses - 

7 Nos.

Hydrant water storage - 

0.375 Millions lits capacity

Hydrant pump - 

1700lpm at 7 bar head, working on D.G.

 

To check the Adequacy of capacity of Hydrant Pump

 

As per Rule No. 71 - B ( 2 ) of M.F.R.

 

The water required in litres per minute =                A + B + C + D

                                                                            ----------------------

                                                                                     20

Where,

 

A =

The total area in square meters of all floors including galleries in all building of the factory

B =

The total area in square meters of all floors and galleries including open spaces in which combustible materials are handled or stored.

C =

The total area in square meters of all floors over 15 meter above ground level.

D =

The total area in square meters of all floors of buildings other than those of fire resisting construction provided fire-resisting construction of various floors is so certified by any fire association or fire insurance company.

 

In the present case,

 

A =

4215 sq. m.

B =

4215 sq. m.

C =

Nil

D =

4215 sq. m.

 

A + B + C + D = 12645 sq. m.

 

Hence the water requirement is 12645 / 20 = 633 lpm, against which they have provided a pump with a capacity of 2300 lpm.

 

The total water available for fire fighting is 0.375 Millions litres, which is sufficient to run for 163 minutes which is more than 120 minutes (2 hours).

 

In view of the above, the capacity of the fire pump is adequate.
