i) Fire water flow rate for a tank farm shall be aggregate of the following :-
• Water flow calculated for cooling a tank on fire at a rate of 3 lpm/m² of tank shell area.
• Water flow calculated for exposure protection for all other tanks falling within a radius of (R
+30) m from centre of the tank on fire (R-Radius of tank on fire) and situated in the same dyke at
a rate of 3 lpm/m² of tank shell area.
• Water flow calculated for exposure protection for all other tanks falling outside a radius of
(R+30) m from centre of the tank on fire and situated in the same dyke at a rate of 1 lpm/m2 of
tank shell area.
• For water flow calculations, all tanks farms having class A or B petroleum storage shall be
considered irrespective of diameter of tanks and whether fixed water spray system is provided
or not.
• Water flow required for applying foam on a single largest tank by way of fixed foam system,
where provided, or by use of water/foam monitors.
• Various combinations shall be considered in the tank farm for arriving at different fire water
flow rate and the largest rate to be considered for design.
ii) Fire water flow for pump house shed at cross country pipeline installations shall be at a rate of
10.2 lpm/m².
iii) Fire water flow rate for TW loading gantry (Refer Annexure – II) and product pump house in a
depot or terminal shall be calculated at a rate of @ 10.2 lpm/m2.
iv) For Pump of volatile product/s located under pipe rack fire water flow rate shall be calculated
at a rate of 20.4lpm/ m2.
v) Fire water flow rate for supplementary streams shall be based on using 4 single hydrant outlets
and 1 monitor simultaneously. Capacity of each hydrant outlet as 36 m3/hr and of each high
volume monitor as 228m3/hr minimum shall be considered at a pressure of 7 kg/cm2 (g). The
supplementary water stream requirement shall be in addition to design flow rates as calculated
in (i), (ii), (iii) & (iv) above.
vi) The design fire water rate shall be the largest of [4.3.2.1 (i)], [4.3.2.1 (ii)], [4.3.2.1 (iii)], or
[4.3.2.1 (iv)].
