Floating roof tanks

Very economical way of storing large

amounts of hydrocarbons-products World wide very common application since the 1960s Avoid loss of product by floating roof Fire-protection?

TANK PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Floating roof tank: Causes of Fire

Lightning strike
Electrical storms Frictional sparking Static discharge Uncontrolled hot-work Overfilling Outside sources (bund area/neighbouring tank) Switch loading (e.g. gasoline diesel)

HOW TO PROTECT A TANK ??

TANK PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Criteria for tank fire protection

How to detect? Response time? Intervention time required? Fire Fighting service available? Full automatic system?

TANK PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Detection of tank fires

Visual detection
Low response time High failure risk Intervention needed

TANK PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Detection of tank fires

Flame Detector (UV-IR)
Fast response time Intense maintenance Detection range/field? Intervention needed

TANK PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Detection of tank fires

Heat Detection Cable
Good response time Less maintenance Sensitive structure Intervention needed

Cooling by using stationary systems

Application rates Tank wall protection 16,7 lpm/m (PGS29) Using the run down principal 2 lpm/m2 (IP19) Tank roof protection 2 lpm/m2 (IP19 PGS29)
Always remember the stiffeners on the tankshell

Foam Systems
Principle: covering the surface
Environmental issues Burn-back < > application rate

Different philosophy than early response

Different ways of application

TANK PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Foam Systems
Oil & Gas:
Foam over the top by split jet nozzle or foam-chamber

Tankpit coverage
Bladder-tanks / Mixingunits

TANK PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Foam Systems Tank Pit

TANK PROTECTION SYSTEMS

Floating roof tanks

Application rate :12,2 lpm/m2 Depending on the height of the foam-dam Foam generator every 12,2 or 24,4 meters

Coneroof tanks
Always calculate a full surface fire Application rate :4,1 lpm/m2

Tank pit
Application rate :4,1 lpm/m2
Above mentioned values are based on NFPA11 IP part 19 PGS29
