Plated Deck - provided with deck bunding such that liquids contained within bund is drained off using

the drain boxes.

Problem: To design drainage from the plated deck such that deluge firewater can be drained without overflowing the side

Deluge Rate = 848 m3/hr

Number of Drain Boxes = 9


Drain Pipe Size = 6 in

Option 1 Froude No. < 0.3

where v = Velocity of liquid, fps


g = Gravitational constant, 32.2 ft/sec²
D = Diameter of pipe, ft.

Allowable velocity in 6" pipe = 0.38 m/s


Allowable flowrate in 6" pipe = 24.90 m3/hr

Total flowrate through existing drain boxes = 224.08 m3/hr

Additional drain boxes required = 26

Option 2 NORSOK P-001


f = 0.026822 where k = 0.05 mm
Q = 490.28 m3/hr
= 7.47 m/s

Total flowrate through existing drain boxes = 4412.53 m3/hr

Additional drain boxes required = 0

Option 3 50% head in drain box

0.5hrg = 0.5rv^2 where


h = height of water in drain box = 300

v = 1.72 m/s
Allowable flowrate in 6" pipe = 112.66 m3/hr

Total flowrate through existing drain boxes = 1013.91 m3/hr

Additional drain boxes required = 0


ff using the drain boxes.

6"
Drain Box with configuration as follows (looking at elevation): 3" 300mm

The 3" pipe is connected to a common header from all of the drain boxes and directed to a slops tank
The 6" pipe is connected to a common header from all of the drain boxes and directed to the Main Deck scuppers.
Outlet of header pipe is not submerged in liquid.
