Introduction
A hydraulic calculation study was carried out to check the adequacy of the existing external fire water ring main, hydrants, monitors, and fire water pumps at United Solar Polysilicon (FZC) SPC, Oman.
The study verifies that the external fire hydrant system can deliver the required fire water flow and pressure during emergency conditions in compliance with NFPA and Shell DEP standards.
This project demonstrates our expertise in fire water system hydraulic calculation and industrial fire protection engineering.
Objective
To provide the results of the hydraulic analysis performed for the external fire water system adequacy check, including verification of header sizes, hydrants, monitors, and fire water pump capacity.
Scope of Work
- Calculation of fire water requirements for various fire scenarios
- Hydraulic calculation of existing external fire water network
- Pipe size verification with maximum velocity
- Verification of minimum pressure at the remotest hydrant and monitor
- Evaluation of existing fire water pumping capacity
- Recommendations and modification drawings
Methodology
- Collection of required input data from client
- Fire water demand calculation as per applicable standards
- Development of pipe network hydraulic model
- Simulation of multiple fire scenarios
- Identification of system bottlenecks
- Network modification where required
- Analysis of results and recommendations
Design Codes & Standards
- NFPA 14 – Standard for Installation of Standpipe and Hose Systems
- Shell DEP 80.47.10.31-Gen
Results
- Fire water pumps are adequate for design demand
- External Fire water Ring Main and Headers meet pressure and flow requirements
- Hydrants and monitors receive required pressure at design flow
- Pipe velocities are within allowable limits
Conclusion
Hydraulic analysis confirms that the existing external Fire Hydrant and Monitor system at United Solar Polysilicon (FZC) SPC is adequate and capable of delivering the required fire water flow, pressure, and velocity in accordance with NFPA and Shell DEP requirements.
