F FIRE & GA AS DETEC CTION PHIILOSOPHY Y General T The purpos se of providing the Fire e & Gas De etection Sysstem is to provide earlyy & reliable d detection off fire and hyydrocarbon gas release es and an early e warnin ng of potential fire and// o or flammab ble gas release to pe ersonnel so o as to en nable autom matic and/ or manual iinitiation of appropriate e actions (e e.g. activatio on of active fire protecttion system ms, initiation o of shutdown ns etc.) to avoid/ a minim mize the pottential for es scalation. C Confirmed fire and flammable gas g hazard ds shall be e indicated by a miniimum of 2 d detectors out o of a qua antity of N detectors d w where N is 3 or more. Fault alarm ms that are p part of 2ooN N, where N=3, voting logic should d be treated d by the voting logic ass gas or fire cconditions; this means that in a 2oo3 voting group, one detecttor in fault conditions rrequires 1oo2 of the re emaining de etectors for control actio on. A As the Heat detectors are highly reliable, r acttivation of single s detecctor shall be e treated as cconfirmed fire. f In case e of any exxecutive acttions based d on F&G detection, d v voting logicc sshall be co onsidered. For alarm / indication a single detector may m be sufficient. All o outdoor field d mounted detectors (fflammable gas g and fire e detectors)) shall be Zo one 1 rated iirrespective e of the actual a elecctrical haza ardous are ea classificcation. The e minimum a acceptable degree off protection n against moisture or o dust ing gress for EXTERNAL E m mounted de evices shall be to IP65 in accordance with IEC 60529. D Detection devices d mou unted within n buildings or o walk-in enclosures e shall s genera ally complyy w with a minimum of IP P41 protecction. Juncttion boxes shall have e a minimu um ingress p protection of IP65 eq quivalent. Fire F & Gass detection systems shall be designed in a accordance e with NFPA A 72.

3.2

Facilities s Layout T The layout and orienta ation of equ uipment will be configu ured to min nimize the potential p off ffire/ explos sion hazard d escalation n & person nnel injury. The orientation shalll maximize ssafety and accessibility a y. S Safety featu ures to be provided p in layout l will in nclude: 

Process units should be centrally located with straight approach from main gate.



Locate utility services away from hazardous areas so they will not be affected by a fire or explosion within the plant nor be a source of ignition for any potential flammable liquid or gas release.



Buildings should be located upwind or cross wind of the prevailing wind direction of any plant capable of venting fumes to the atmosphere.



The plant layout should minimize the risk to personnel, protect the environment and assets.



Equipment layout shall keep potential release sources as far from ignition sources as practical to prevent hydrocarbon ignition and fire escalation.



Maximum separation, as far as reasonably practicable, between emergency service system and hydrocarbon facility.



Provide adequate space for safe access of personnel and equipment for drilling, construction, operation and maintenance.



Maintain sufficient means of escape to enable safe evacuation from all parts of plant.



The effect of prevailing winds is to be considered on escaping hydrocarbons or gases from the vents, wells or other equipment.



Minimization of hydrocarbon inventories



Minimizing leak sources and paths



Minimizing the risk of ignition



Separation of plant and equipment areas



Safe dispersal of gas leaks



Containment of explosions within electrical enclosures



Containment of liquid leaks and spills



Accessibility for fire fighting and maintenance



Provision of adequate escape routes



Adequate fixed and passive protection systems



Limiting confinement and congestion in process areas

These principles are aimed at limiting the effects of a hazardous incident (hydrocarbon gas/liquid release or fire) to the area of occurrence. Large vessels should be located well away from the rest of the plant. The layout shall also meet requirements for vehicle and personnel traffic, security, emergency

Note: Automaticc depressurrizing shall be b carried out o only for the affected d fire zone of o the plantt and the depressurizi d ng of the re emaining zo ones will be e decided by b the opera ator. Inhibitt is provide ed to preven nt initiation of depresssurization off more than n one fire zone z at anyy point of time. i.e. Ba ased on co onfirmed F& &G in Fire zone A, automatic sh hutdown off entire pla ant and auttomatic blow w down of that particular fire zo one (Fire Zo one A) will happen.

Public Address/ A G General Alarm Syste em

a Genera al alarm sysstem is to alert a person nnel in the field f during The Publicc address and normal and d also emerrgency situa ation by trig ggering alarm m and verbal announccement. The Publicc Address and a Plant Alarm A System consists of loudspeakers which h must be strategically located through h the plant area, in order to ena able person nnel to listen to vo ocal messag ges or alarm ms from any point of th he plant, the system shall be audible at all plant points.

The system shall allow the application of an evacuation signal to one or more zones and, at the same time and, shall allow voice paging to the other zones selectively or in any combination. The alert tone preceding any message shall be permitted to be a part of the voice message or to be transmitted automatically from a separate tone generator. To ensure that audible public mode signals are clearly heard they shall have a sound level at least 15dB above the average ambient sound level or 5dB above the maximum sound level having duration of at least 60 seconds, whichever is greater, measured 1.5m above the floor in the area occupied, using the A-weighted scale (dBA). The PA/GA System shall consist of microprocessor - based page/multiparty systems, distributed across the entire project site. The systems shall provide both page/party operation and intercom operation utilising Call Points located at locations throughout the facilities. The system shall be capable of supervising and monitoring all systems circuits and devices to monitor fault information and to establish that devices can respond. The systems shall also conduct periodic self - diagnostics on the various subsystems and report failures. When a fault is detected an audible alarm shall be sounded and a visual indication shall be displayed at the local Control Room and Technical Room Access Panels and on the DCS Operator screens. PA/GA Zones shall, to the greatest extent possible, be consistent with Fire and Gas zones. The PA/GA system shall provide telephone access and shall broadcast voice messages from the telephone input Major alarm signals to be provided are: 

Fire



Gas (Hydrocarbon)
