General Fire Protection System
Fire pumps and fire tanks will have to be sized for a period of 2
hours water supply so as to meet the following requirements:
• The biggest fixed fire extinguishment system demand
(it is calculated from the detailed fire fighting study) or
any fixed fire suppression system demands that are
expected to operate simultaneously during a single
event, whichever is bigger and
• a hose stream supply not less than 500 gpm (1890
liters/minute) In case tanks are used for fire fighting
water supply, they need to be filled from a source
capable of recovering the 2-hour supply in maximum 8
hours. It is strongly recommended that tanks refilling is
carried out automatically.
• Fire pump should be automatic start and manual
shutdown.
• Hydrant space max 300 feet for main plant, and space
max 500 feet for remote area such as long term coal
storage. 7
