Study On Adequacy Of Sprinkler System At HPCL

Hindustan Corporation Limited (HPCL) has engaged iFluids engineering to conduct adequacy check on Existing Sprinkler System for HPCL Suryapet Terminal. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) intends to conduct a study on the Sprinkler System to assess the water coverage on the tank shell with required overlap sprinkler nozzle.

Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL)  Suryapet Terminal is having above ground storage tank for storing HSD & MS. Adhering to the norms of OISD, Sprinklers are provided for cooling the tanks in case emergency. The existing sprinkler rings are at a distance of 0.9 m from the tank shell. HPCL intends to assess the water coverage on the tank shell with required overlap sprinkler nozzle.

This project describes the process design basis for fire safety systems adequacy of the tank farm area of HPCL Suryapet. The scope includes:

  • Sprinkler design adequacy for 3 lpm & 1 lpm
  • Sprinkler adequacy from 0.9 m distance to shell.

The facilities included are following:

  • Tank 1A: MS, Tank 1B: MS, Tank 1C: MS
  • Tank 3A: HSD, Tank 3B: HSD
