7 FLAMMABLE GAS AND FIRE DETECTION
7.1 DESIGN BASIS

Fire and gas detectors are installed throughout the plant considering most likely potential
sources of leakage and taking into account their proximity to possible sources of ignition,
the prevailing wind direction and wind speed as well as the density of the leaking gas.
They will detect:

 Flammable gases
 Fire, either directly (flame and heat detectors) or as smoke, as a precursor to fire
In case the above mentioned hazards occur the detectors signals will be used to activate:
 Visual and audible alarms through PAGA system.
 Automatic action initiation, such as ESD and Blow-down as required.
7.2 MITIGATION ACTION OVERVIEW
Fire and gas detection logic in field hazardous areas is based on plant partition into fire
zones.
Typical actions are listed below:
 Confirmed fire detection provides relevant ESD actions initiated automatically in

dedicated fire zone
 Unit Shut down / ESD 2 of the concerned fire zone
7.3 CONTROL SYSTEM
All Fire and Gas System (FGS) indications and alarms shall be available at New Control
building Compartment 3 display consoles and other operating locations like Production
Supervisors Office.
8 GAS DETECTION
8.1 GENERAL
Flammable gas detectors are located such as flanges, valves, instrument connections,
and pump seals taking into account the following criteria:
 Leakage source within the area ;
 The proximity to possible source of ignition;
 Ventilation air flow patterns;
 The poisoning material which can affect the detector technology;
 System configuration
 Access for maintenance and calibration
For detection of lighter than air gases, the detectors area installed at a height of around
1m above the potential source of leakage.
8.2 FLAMMABLE GAS DETECTION

The types of flammable gas detection sensors to be installed in the various units/areas of
the plant are selected from the following: (Any type of detectors can be selected by
Vendor. The specifications of detector type depend on manufacturer and product.)
 IR Point Gas Detector:
It includes a very fast speed of response, low maintenance and greatly simplified
checking, using the self-checking facility of modern micro-processor controlled
equipment.
 Catalytic Gas Detector:

It operates on the principle that when a combustible gas/air mixture passes over the
hot catalyst surface, combustion occurs and the heat evolved increases the
temperature of the ‘bead’.
 Open Path Detector:

Infrared open-path gas detectors send out a beam of infrared light, detecting gas
anywhere along the path of the beam. This linear 'sensor' is typically a few metres up
to a few hundred metres in length. Open-path detectors can be contrasted with

infrared point sensors. They are widely used to achieve very rapid gas leak detection
for flammable gases at concentrations comparable to the lower flammable limit.
Infrared point type flammable gas detectors can generally be installed near probable leak
source, which could lead to the formation of flammable gas clouds and includes the
following locations:
 Area where flammable gas exists

 Pumps handling flammable liquids
Generally location and number of gas detectors are linked to the 15 m diameter
dimensioning gas cloud, as Engineering contractor is not performing any dispersion
study, location of the flammable gas detector is based on international standards like
NFPA 72 and experience in the field.
Due to the reliability of infra-red type gas detectors, activation of a single detector is at
50%. LEL initiates a confirmed gas alarm and subsequent executive actions. The
prevailing wind direction is taken into consideration to locate the flammable gas detectors.
All flammable gas detectors shall be suitable for use in Zone 1, Gas Group IIB,
Temperature Class T3 except those located in the vicinity of battery rooms which shall be
suitable for Zone 1, Gas Group IIC, Temperature Class T3.
Based on Analog signals (4-20mA) from devices alarms and executive action will be
provided for set gas concentrations of 20% Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and 50% LEL.
9 FIRE DETECTION

11.2 GAS DETECTION

Gas detectors are not considered for the building as per Company response to HSE TQ
(GMCPF-J5177-200-HS-TQ-0001).
12 AUDIBLE AND VISUAL ALARMS

Audible and visual alarms for flammable gas and fire detection are announced through
PAGA system. Flashing beacons are provided for flammable gas and fire detection.
Yellow colour beacon indicates flammable gas release and red colour beacon indicates
fire detection. Sounders are initiated to alert and instruct evacuation. One sounder
announce for gas and fire alarm by using tone generator unit in PAGA system.
Flashing beacons and sounders are located in all areas throughout the plant for audible
and visual alarm purpose in the plant and buildings. Flashing beacons are positioned
such that they are visible in the area and accessible for maintenance.
In the process fire zone, one beacon and one sounder are provided for each zone. For
building fire zone, one beacon and one sounder are provided at main entrance. Alarm
Bells shall be provided inside buildings. These shall be driven by the Fire Alarm Control
Panel (FACP) of the concerned building. All field equipment described above shall be
certified for use in an explosive atmosphere with zone 2 classification, gas group lIB,
temperature class T3.
12.1 PUBLIC ALARM / GENERAL ALARM (PA/GA)
Telecommunications (telephone and PA/GA) shall be provided in the new facilities to

facilitate control room to field communications. The PA/GA system shall broadcast routine
speech, emergency speech, and alarm tones.
Sounders shall be initiated to alert and instruct evacuation. The PA/GA System shall
provide specified tone sequences of alarms for fire, flammable gas and all clear
conditions, as well as different recorded messages for each type of hazard (Fire or
Flammable gas) and location of hazard (Crude Oil Export Tank Area / Manifold Area /
Crude Oil Export metering station).
The alarm tones will be activated automatically from the fire and gas detection system or
manually by the operator. The 'all clear' signal shall be manually activated by the operator
only. In addition to sounders, the system shall activate visual alarms (flashing beacons)
under alarm and emergency speech conditions. These shall be field located in areas of
high noise, where the sound level exceeds 85dBA. Visual alarms shall continue to
operate while alarms are activated and shall not be affected in any way by emergency
speech or alarm tone muting and attenuation. Location of PAGA system shall be as per
existing plan.
