2.0 INTRODUCTION
2.1 Background
BP and Sonatrach have signed a Production sharing agreement for the development of the
In Amenas area in Algeria, Northern Africa. The In Amenas area is located in the Sahara
Desert in the eastern-central part of Algeria, approximately 1300 kilometres (800 miles)
south east from the capital city of Algiers.
The development will include a gathering system to collect the hydrocarbon fluids from the
production wells and transport them to the Central Processing Facility. The latter will
separate the gas from the liquids to produce pipeline quality gas, mixed LPG and stabilised
condensate and deliver them to the product evacuation pipelines for transportation to the
final delivery point on the existing Sonatrach system.
2.2 Purpose of this Specification
The purpose of this specification is to develop the passive fire protection philosophy outlined
in Reference [1], and identify the areas, systems, equipment and buildings, to be protected
against fire using passive fire protection (PFP) systems and materials.
2.3 Methodology
The identification of systems, equipment and structures that require passive fire protection
system shall follow a risk based design approach.
The methodology adopted considers:
• identification of potential fire hazards using the guidance given in API 2218, Reference
[12].
• application of fire scenarios from the data given in the Concept Safety Evaluation
Report, Reference [2].
• identify and locate safety critical systems and equipment, including vessels and
buildings.
• establish potential for impairment due to flame impingement and heat flux levels on
critical equipment, systems and structures.
2.4 Objective
The objective of applying passive fire protection is to reduce fire escalation or postponing
the onset of escalation until emergency response crews can rescue injured personnel.
Escalation may occur due to direct flame impingement or due to high radiation impact on
nearby vessels, structural steel support members, critical safety systems and buildings.

OC
6877-SP-XE-99-62-37401
2.5 Responsibilities

5.0 PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS
This section details the design requirements for the protection of buildings from fire and
explosion.
Buildings considered here provide shelter to equipment that is considered critical to the
operation of:
• fire and gas detection systems,

• fire protection systems,
• ESD and blowdown systems,
Also:
• Continuously manned buildings,

• Buildings manned during start-up and maintenance periods.
From the plot plans the following buildings have been identified, and their impairment from
fire is not considered likely, however they should be constructed from certified non-
flammable materials.

• Instrument / Electrical MCC Buildings
• Compressor Control Building

OC
6877-SP-XE-99-62-37401
• Local Equipment Building
5.1 Substation
All substations have also been considered for their likely impairment from fire due to their
proximity to transformers.
The building may be occupied during start-up, commissioning and maintenance periods.
In order to prevent fire escalation to adjacent substation and transformers from an ignited oil
coolant leak, a 1-hour fire rated wall between the substation and transformer and between
transformers should be provided. Alternatively, the transformers may be filled with a non-
flammable insulating fluid such as silicone oil.
5.2 Firewalls / Divisions
The construction and fabrication of building partitions and walls shall be manufactured from
non-combustible materials.
Doors, windows and ducting, etc., which are installed within the firewall, must be of a
standard at least equal to that of the wall. All penetrations through the firewalls shall be fitted
with suitably rated seals to ensure the overall rating of the firewall is not impaired.
Firewalls shall be constructed from approved and certified fire rated materials. Materials or
construction methods that are not certified shall not be used.
5.3 Explosion Overpressure Protection

Appendix 1 lists all hydrocarbon containing vessels and equipment identified from the
Equipment List, Reference [14] and Process Flow Diagrams, which require the application of
PFP according to the design criteria contained in 6.1, 6.2 and 7.0
Each item has been reviewed for its failure potential due to impairment from pool or jet fire
hazards, identified from Reference [12].

OC
6877-SP-XE-99-62-37401
6.1 Design Criteria
The following selection rules have been taken from Sonatrach and BP guidelines,
References [3] & [5], and applied using risk analysis techniques to determine where passive
fire protection systems need to be applied.
• Steelwork supporting hydrocarbon vessels or pipework containing combustibles with an

operating weight of 2500kg or more and tanks whose lowest point is more than 1 metre
from the ground, Reference [3] Sonatrach guidelines.
• Equipment supported on a structure, Reference [5] BP Recommended Practice, if:
a) The equipment is safety critical and failure of the supporting structure would
lead to loss or damage to the emergency system.
b) The equipment can damage other equipment containing hydrocarbons if the
support fails.
c) The equipment can damage safety critical equipment if the support fails.
• The structure is tall and slender, i.e. having a height to base ratio of at least 8 to 1 and
the overall height exceeds 6 metre.
• Air coolers, which handle flammable materials, supported on top of pipe racks,
Reference [5] BP Recommended Practice.
• Skirts supporting towers or vertical vessels containing hydrocarbons including the inside
if flanged piping is located therein, Reference [5] BP Recommended Practice.
• Pipe supports and pipe racks containing hydrocarbon piping greater than 6”nb,
Reference [5] BP Recommended Practice.
6.2 Risk Analysis
Fire sources are those items of equipment considered by API 2218, Reference [12], to be a
high fire potential where failure has shown historically to result in a fire.
Potential fire sources listed are classified High, Medium and Low potential fire risk.
6.2.1 Equipment and Vessel - Structures and Supports
Where a fire could impair the structural support integrity of equipment, vessels and tanks,
the following members shall be passively fire protected:
• the beams transmitting the loads to the columns,

• the columns themselves and any members provided for the lateral stability of the
columns, from the column base to a minimum of 650mm above the uppermost platform
on which the equipment is located.
For structures supporting equipment tall and slender structures:
• only columns and such members provided for the lateral stability of the columns, from
the column base to the platform level, or branching plane nearest the upper limit of the
fire hazard space shall be fire proofed.
No fire proofing is necessary for diagonal bracing and knee bracing furnished only for wind
loading.
See Appendix 1 & 3 for list of equipment and locations.

OC
6877-SP-XE-99-62-37401
6.2.2 Towers and Vessel Skirts
Skirts supporting towers or vertical vessels shall be fire proofed;
• exterior surfaces of skirts where exposed to fire hazard

• interior surfaces of skirt where there are valves and flanges within the skirt or manway
openings greater than 600mm diameter.
• skirts of vessels less than 760mm diameter shall not be protected on the inside.
Vessel skirt (or leg support) fire proofing will extend from the base ring (or base plate) to:
• the insulation on insulated hot vessels.

• within 50mm of the insulation on insulated low-temperature vessels
• within 75mm of the skirt and leg attachment welds on uninsulated vessels.
Fire proofing of skirts will be carried out in the vessel supplier’s shop. The insulation shall be
terminated where necessary to give access to bolting during site installation. The site
insulation contractor shall complete the fire proofing to completely cover the base ring and
bolting using similar materials after placement of the vessel
Note: The Passive fire protection for vessel skirts has been updated in Rev. D05 of this
document, to account for the fire proofing of the 200mm sections of the vessel above the
bolts left without passive fire protection. This section could extend but not exceed 750mm
(See Note 4, Appendix 1). Refer to Appendix 1.
6.2.3 Pipe Supports and Pipe Racks
Main pipe rack support columns and support beams for piping greater than 6” nb containing
hydrocarbon and toxic products shall be fire proofed;
• from the column bases to the bottom of the support beams in the lowest pipe rack.
• The pipe support beams transmitting loads to the columns.
Main pipe rack support columns and support beams supporting air coolers on top of pipe
rack, which handle flammable materials, shall be fire proofed up to air coolers.
See Appendix 3 for locations and reference drawings.
All PFP on main pipe racks and steel structures is Intumescent epoxy, and will be applied by
the steel fabricator in their shop. Blockouts will be made where necessary to accommodate
bolting requirements during construction. These areas will require filling in by the site
insulation contractor after completion of erection.
Application of both shop and field PFP shall be carried out in accordance with supplier’s
(Nu-Chem) Application Manual (KBR doc. No. ACVA01-0006)
Fire proofing of pipe supports shall be provided on lines from storage tank nozzles to
isolation valves at grade and for blow-down lines within fire hazard areas.

8.0 PROTECTION OF PIPING, ESD AND BLOWDOWN VALVES
This section considers requirement for the application of a PFP system to:
• Piping associated with ESD and blowdown systems.

• ESD system and valves
• Blow-down system and valves
• Fire and gas detection systems
• Fire and gas general alarm systems
• UPS System
These systems are safety critical and are listed in the performance standards, Reference
[4].
See Appendix 2 for list of equipment and locations.
8.1 ESD and Blowdown Piping Systems
ESD valves should be located such that they can not be impaired by a loss of hydrocarbon
containment in the section of plant that it is isolating. If this can not be achieved then the
valve and upstream piping should be passively fire protected to a distance where the
contained hydrocarbon inventory upstream of the valve is no longer at risk of impairment
from fire hazards.
Where PFP is required it shall provide 1 hours jet and pool fire protection using material
suggested in section 3.1.
Piping for blowdown systems shall in general not require passive fire protection.
All PFP in this section will be applied by the site insulation contractor, using materials as
specified in 3.1 The scope of supply is indicated on the relevant P&ID’s. See Appendix 2.
8.2 Valves and Actuators
ESD and blowdown system valves and actuators, which are subjected to a jet or pool fire,
shall be protected against the initial explosion overpressure loads, jet and pool fire for 1
hour.
8.2.1 Valves
As a minimum valves shall be certified and fire tested by a recognised institute to prevent
seal failure when exposed to hydrocarbon fire, or until blow-down has been successfully
completed.

OC
6877-SP-XE-99-62-37401
8.2.2 Actuators
Valve actuators shall be designed for fail safe operation such that failure of its electrical or
pneumatic systems will close ESDVs and open BDVs. Once the actuator has achieved this
function its operation is no longer critical and passive fire protection is not required.
8.2.3 Pneumatic and Hydraulic Control Lines
Pneumatic and hydraulic control lines associated with ESD and blow-down valve actuators
arranged for fail-safe operation will not require PFP.
8.3 Cables and Cable Trays
Power and instrument cables servicing the following safety critical systems shall be fire
resistant to IEC 60331 and BS 6387, Reference [13].
• Fire and gas detection systems

• Fire and gas general alarm systems
• UPS System
9.0 PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS
9.1 Buildings – CPF and Base de Vies
The current location of all buildings at the CPF and Base de Vies, including those
considered has having a safety critical function, i.e. CPF control room is beyond the range of
impairment from jet and pool fires from process areas. Therefore the external structure of
the building need not be hydrocarbon fire rated, however the materials used should be non-
combustible.

Note 1: PFP type D is used for passive fire proofing of the 200 mm sections of the vessel above the bolts. This section could extend but not exceed
750 mm. Type A covers the remaining section of the skirt.
Note 2: Applied to skirt section only. The two materials are mated as per Appendix 4.
Note 3: In some cases, PFP type D, used for passive fire proofing of the 200 mm sections of the saddles, will extend more than the specified 200
mm but will not exceed 750 mm. Type A or B (as specified in Appendix 1) covers the remaining section of the saddle.
Note 4: Where type D PFP exceeds 200 mm (either for skirts or saddles), the applicator shall provide a procedure for review and approval to ensure
the PFP material is correctly supported and achieves the specification thickness.
