5.0.0 Hydrant System

5.1.0 The hydrant system will be normally pressurized to 10.0 Kg/cm2 This pressure is maintained
by the pressurization system as explained in section 4.0.0.

5.2.0 The 4 Nos. hydrant pumps located in fire pump house shall be operated in a semi-automatic
mode. i.e. starting of the pumps shall be automatic or manual and stopping shall be manual
only. All pumps are provided with dedicated pressure transmitters for starting the pump.
These transmitters are set at descending order of pressure values such that the pumps are
started sequentially. A time delay of 10 sec. between each pump start is also incorporated to
avoid starting of all pump together. The 3 Nos. motor driven pumps shall start one after the
other and the diesel engine pump at end, depending on the fire water demand.
5.3.0 The operation of the pump is as explained here below:-
In the event of fire, hydrant / monitors around the affected area will be operated due to
which system pressure will drop down rapidly. This drop in pressure sensed by the pressure
transmitter PT-H-02 (located after NRV) at the outlet of hydrant pump HP-M-01 and gives
the start signal to this pump. If this pump is unable to maintain the pressure due to additional
water demand, system pressure will further drop down and pressure transmitter PT-H-04
(located after NRV ) at outlet of pump HP-M-02 signals to this pump to start. Other pumps
will also operate sequentially immediately as per the system demand and at preset pressure
setting when hydrant header water pressure drops down.

5.4.0 All pumps are also provided with pressure transmitters for indication of pump status such as
“Pump Running” and “Pump Fails to Start”. This signal is generated by the PLC with a
preset time delay, from pressure transmitters provided on down stream of NRV of pumps.

5.5.0 The pressure transmitter for control and indication of hydrant pumps is as given in table
hereunder.

6.2.0 Two numbers Hydrant Booster Pumps are located in Booster Pump House shall be
operated in a semi-automatic mode. i.e. Starting of the pumps shall be automatic or manual
and stopping shall be manual only. Each Booster pump is provided with pressure transmitter
on discharge line. Additionally a flow switch is provided on discharge header. The pump will
operate automatically using the signal, either from the pressure transmitter or from the flow
switch wherever is received first.

6.3.0 In the event of opening of internal hydrants in Boiler House above 40M elevation and higher
elevation of bunker TPs, a flow will be established in the discharge line of booster pumps.
The flow through the discharge line will vary from 27 M3/hr to 171 M3/hr, depending on the
number of hydrants operated (One Hydrant will draw water at a rate of 38 M3/hr at a
pressure of 3.5 Kg/cm2g ).

6.4.0 When flow through discharge line of booster pump reaches 27 M3/hr or more, flow switch
FS-BP-01 provided on common discharge header will operate, which will in turn cut-off the
jockey pump and start the booster pump BP-M-01.

Alternatively, when pressure falls down during operation of internal hydrants in Boiler house or
Bunker TPs , pressure transmitter PT-BP-02 will sense and if the pressure falls down to 11.5
Kg/cm2g, it will start the booster pump BP-M-01. As soon as the booster pump develops
pressure, pressure transmitter PT-BP-01 will operate at 12.0 Kg/cm2g giving “Pump Running”
indication in OWS / GUI . In case, the pressure does not develop within 10 seconds, through
PT-BP-02, set at 11.0 Kg/Cm2g, the booster pump BP-M-01,

“Fails to Start “ indication of this pump will appear in OWS / GUI and at the same time
booster pump BP-D-01 will start automatically using the signal from PT-BP-04 set at 11.0
Kg/Cm2g. As soon as this pump develops pressure, PT-BP-03 will operate at 12.0 Kg/cm2g,
giving “Pump Running“ indication in OWS / GUI. In case, the pressure does not develop
within 10 seconds, through PT-BP-04 set at 10.5 Kg/Cm2g, the booster pump BP-
D-01,“Fails to Start “ indication of this pump will appear in OWS / GUI.
In case, of minor leakages on the downstream side of booster pump flow switch will not
operate since the the flow rate will be very less in this case. Further, pressure will drop
down at a slower rate comparatively, hence after 10 seconds, PT-BP-01 will get
disconnected through remote I/O panel linked with PLC-01 preventing starting of booster
pump .Thus jockey pump will remain active and subsequently, when pressure drops
2
down to 10.0 Kg/cm g in the pump house of jockey pump discharge line, Jockey pump will
start automatically thereby maintaining the system pressure.

7.2.0 In the event of fire, there will be a system pressure drop due to opening of deluge valve
located near the area under fire. The Pressure Transmitter PT-WS-02 at the discharge
header (located after NRV) of Spray Pump WS-M-01, senses the fall in pressure & signals
this pump to start as the pump start developing pressure. The Pressure Transmitter PT-WS-
01 provided at upstream of NRV on discharge header of the pump will operate, giving
“Pump Running” indication in OWS / GUI. If the pump does not develop pressure within 15
seconds, a signal is generated by PT-WS-02. It will give indication in OWS / GUI “ Pump
Fails to Start “. When pressure drops further, the Pressure Transmitter PT-WS-04 will give
signal to start the diesel engine driven pump WS-D-01.

7.3.0 All Spray Pumps are provided with Pressure Transmitters for indication of pump status such
as “ Pump Running “ and “ Pump Fails to Start “.
