Fire Safety for Revamp Projects

Gas turbines should be installed with automatic fuel shutoff valves. Locate cooling towers far away from process units. Whenever possible, maintain cooling water pressure more than process stream pressure, at the coolers. Install gas detectors at the top of cooling towers, and an automatic shutdown system for cooling tower fans, in case of gas detection. Boiler and other utilities should be located far away from process facilities so that they will not be exposed to fires and explosions originating in the process plants. Install deflagration or detonation arrestors in low-pressure fuel gas systems connected to atmosphere or fired systems. [Pg.73]

Install critical power, control, instrument, and alarm wiring and pneumatic tubing outside the fire-exposed envelope. Cable trays and conduit banks should be routed underground or on the upper levels of elevated pipe racks at least 30 feet above the ground and outside the drainage path of hydrocarbon spills. Install fire proofing of critical systems and equipment if they are inside the fire-exposed envelope. [Pg.74]

Comprehensive coverage of many fire safety design and implementation guidelines is available in Nolan (1996) and CCPS (2003b). [Pg.74]
