Notes :
The building classified as ordinary hazard group 2 (for basment)
The building equibed with device for remote alarm signal therefor the design based on minimum water duration
For remote building Water sprinkler duration shall be 90 minutes for ordinary and extra hazard
Conclusion :
Method -1 :As per NFPA 13 requirments is the worst case then select water tank capacity 120
Then The Fire Water Tank Capacity is 140 m3

Foam Quantity Calculations

Data
Dike Dimensions 10m X 7m
Tank DataTwo tanks (2m) diameter, contain diesel fuel oil, Flash Point (38 – 54 C°)
Design Criteria
Minimum Pressure at outdoor Foam Spray Nozzles 2 Bars

Reference Codes
NFPA 11
NFPA 13
NFPA 16

Fuel Classifications
Diesel Fuel Oil, Class II liquid, Flash Point (38 – 54 C°), Do not mix with water.

Type Of Foam
3% AFFF

Calculated Dike Area

Area Of Dike = Length X Width
= 10 X 7
=70 m2

Determine Discharge Time and Application Rate

From table 3-2.4 NFPA 11, The AFFF discharge time is 20 minutes at an application rate of 0.1 gpm/ft2 (4.1 lpm

Calculate Total Foam Solution Quantity

Foam solution discharge rate =Dike area X Application Rate
=70 X 4.1
=287 lpm
Foam Solution Quantity =Foam solution discharge rate X Discharge time
=287 X 20
=5740 L (1516 gal.)

Network Calculations
Foam Spray Nozzles
No. Of Foam Spray Nozzles = Total area/ Area Per Foam Spray Nozzle
= 70 / 9
= 8 Nozzles
Discharge time = 20 minutes

Foam Solution Quantity per Foam Spray Nozzle = 5740 / 8

= 718 L (187.5 gallon)
Rate of Discharge per Foam Spray Nozzle = 718 / 20
= 36 L/min. (9.375 gpm)
Based on 2 bar minimum pressure at Foam Spray Nozzles.
The Nozzles K-Factor (K) = Q/√P
= 36 /√2
= 25.5
Take K= 39
