1 INTRODUCTION
COMPANY operates three oil fields in the Arabian Gulf and treats the oil recovered from the fields at
their processing facilities on Zirkud Island. The processing facilities receive two types of crude: UZ
Blend crude and Satah crude; UZ blend is sweet while Satah crude is sour. COMPANY processes
the two crudes separately in dedicated facilities on the island. The reservoir fluid produced at Upper
Zakum and Umm Al Dalakh Fields (UZ Blend), after partial degassing and dewatering, flow to Zirku
island via a 42” Main Oil Line (MOL), whereas the reservoir fluid produced at Satah Field is
transported to Zirku Island via a separate 14” MOL. Common storage and export facilities receive
both the processed crudes.
COMPANY has embarked on an Upper Zakum Field Development (UZFD) Program which is aimed
at ultimately achieving a target oil production plateau rate of 1,000 MBD from the UZ field and to
sustain this production target for at least 25 years. To achieve the production target several projects,
studies and operating initiatives related to upstream facilities were carried out and in order to
accommodate this production build-up. COMPANY will develop facilities required for 1,000 MBD
production in the following stages:
1) 750 MBD (UZ-750): Includes the installation of the necessary facilities at Zirku Island required
to accommodate an upstream production of 750 MBD, along with the associated utilities and
upgrades including limited pre-investment for the facilities required for an upstream production of
1,000 MBD.
2) 1,000 MBD (UZ-1000): Includes the installation of the necessary facilities at Zirku Island required
to accommodate an upstream production of 1,000 MBD.
COMPANY awarded the PROJECT to the consortium between Chiyoda CCC Engineering (Pte) Ltd.
(CCEL) and Consolidated Contracting Engineering & Procurement S.A.L. (Offshore) (CCEP) (herein
after referred to as "CONTRACTOR") under Contract Number CTBRFPZR140310 on 17th January
2018 to carryout Engineering, Procurement, Construction and Commissioning (EPC) work.
In order to accommodate the increased upstream production of UZ-750, a 5th Oil Processing Train
will be installed and operated along with the existing four Oil Processing Trains allowing one Oil
Processing Train to be retained as a spare, thus ensuring reliability, availability and providing
excellent maintenance capabilities. The four existing Oil Processing Trains have a processing
capacity of 210 MSTBOPD each whereas the new 5th Oil Processing train will have a capacity of
260 MSTBOPD. The combination of trains in operation will be dictated by the production quota for
the period, the scheduled maintenance, and unscheduled events. In the event of unscheduled
shutdown of one of the trains the spare train can be brought on line to compensate for the loss of
processing capacity.
The new Oil Processing Trains will operate in parallel (i.e., integrated) with the existing facilities, and
as such the new facilities will be connected to the Common Facilities and Utilities of the existing
facilities. These tie-ins shall be done in such a manner as to accommodate all future envisaged
expansions so as to avoid future disruption to the existing facilities.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

In order to accommodate the new Oil Processing Trains, various upgrades and changes to the
Common Facilities and to the Utilities are also required, these changes are sized for a 1,000 MBD
development case , and shall also consider an overall 10% margin on oil production, ensuring future
production capacity increases can be accommodated, when required. The new Oil Processing Trains
will be supported by a new Substation SS-116 and a new LER (Local Equipment room). New LER
will be connected to existing Zirku Control Centre (ZCC) with necessary upgrades for the operation
and control of the new facilities
As part of the PROJECT, CONTRACTOR shall perform all work required for the installation to achieve
an oil processing capacity in the Upper Zakum Facilities on Zirku Island of 750 MBD. In summary,
the key objectives of this PROJECT are as listed here-under:
 Installation of a new Oil Processing Train (5th Oil Processing Train) that will enable COMPANY
to sustain/accommodate an oil processing capacity of 750 MBD.
 Upgrade the Utilities and Balance of Plant portion of the Existing Facilities to accommodate an
oil processing capacity of 1,000 MBD.
 Upgrade the existing Zirku Control Centre (ZCC) to manage operation of all the new facilities.
 Incorporate limited pre-investment for future expansion (i.e., 6th Oil Processing Train and 5th
Gas Compressor).
 Implementation of modularization strategy.
The PROJECT scope of work covers all aspects of Engineering, Procurement, Fabrication,
Transportation, Construction, Demolition, Pre-Commissioning, Commissioning, Handover,
Assistance for Start-Up and completion of Performance Test required for the completion of the
installation.
2 GENERAL
2.1 SCOPE
This Loss Prevention (LP) Philosophy is intended to be used for the Detailed Engineering phase of
the Zirku Facilities Capacity Enhancement Project (hereinafter referred as PROJECT).
The principles defined in this document will provide guidance to the detailed engineering design for
the PROJECT.
This Loss Prevention Philosophy focuses upon the requirements for:
 Active Fire Protection
 Passive Fire Protection
 Explosion Protection
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

 Fire & Gas Detection
 Hazardous Area Classification
 Emergency Communication System
This philosophy complements the Project HSE Philosophy (Document No: P7564-GD-400-N-0007).
The scope of this document excludes construction activities.
2.2 PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the LP Philosophy is to promote a safe design of the facilities and to minimize the
possibility of injury to personnel and damage to asset and environment. This will be achieved by
reducing the possibility of an event occurring and by providing protective measures to control or
mitigate the consequences, should an unplanned or undesired event occur.
The LP Philosophy aims to highlight how LP aspects are accounted for in the design of the facilities
taking into account the risks inherent to the PROJECT and the safety level required by the operator.
The LP Philosophy defines the safety systems that are needed to protect personnel, environment
and assets from potential harm.
The primary objective of this LP Philosophy is to ensure that all design decisions are based on sound
safety and environmental protection principles and that LP rationale for decisions and their
alternatives are demonstrated. The design decisions shall be based on the following principles:
 Identify measures to remove or reduce exposure to potential hazards;
 Minimise the potential for hazardous events to occur (reduce the frequency);
 Identify measures for detection, containment and mitigation measures for fire, explosion and loss
of containment;
 Minimise the severity of the hazardous event and prevent escalation;
 Define the response required for a hazardous event, e.g. deluge activation / depressurization;
and
 Protection of the environment by minimizing accidental releases and spills, and providing a
means to rapidly detect and isolate the source of any loss of containment.
Achieving these objectives will ensure a safe design and will provide a safe working environment for
site personnel. It will assure to stakeholders that the risk of exposure to a hazardous event is being
managed.
The safety objectives are achieved through the following approach:

BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

 Identification of major hazardous events;
 Evaluation of the consequences;
 Definition of primary protection systems;
 Definition of secondary protection systems; and
 Definition of emergency support systems.
Primary protection systems include monitoring and detection (e.g., process control variable limits on
distributed control systems), notification (e.g., audible and visual alarms) and process control systems
with specific action to prevent hazardous events developing from the process (e.g., control loops that
activate a process shut down to manage process deviations).
Secondary protection systems are additional controls that are independent from primary protection
systems e.g., Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) on high pressure equipment to protect against
overpressure and catastrophic vessel failure.
Emergency support systems include but are not limited to fire and gas detection, emergency
shutdown and blowdown and active fire protection (fire water and foam systems etc.) and passive
fire protection (Fire Proofing).

5 HAZARDOUS AREA CLASSIFICATION
5.1 GENERAL
The purpose of area classification is to ensure that ignition sources are eliminated or controlled by
engineering design to prevent ignition of potential flammable or combustible atmospheres.
The main reasons for classifying the project scope facilities into hazardous areas are:
 To ensure that sources of ignition are segregated and/or contained from sources of flammable
gas or vapour;
 To define the electrical system certification requirements;
 To assist in determining the appropriate location of ventilation air inlets and outlets;
 To assist in determine the appropriate location of combustion air inlets and exhaust for fired
equipment, engines and turbines, where applicable for the PROJECT;
 To define the extend of hazardous area from cold vents, where applicable for the PROJECT;
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

 To determine the maximum allowable surface temperature of equipment depending on type of

flammable gases present or likely to be present in the area.
The purpose of the electrical hazardous area classification is to ensure that ignition sources from
electrical equipment do not ignite potential flammable atmospheres. The overall design philosophy
will be to make the site as safe as possible by minimizing the potential sources of release of
flammable gas and ensuring efficient ventilation to disperse / dilute any gas that is released.
5.2 CLASSIFICATION OF HAZARDOUS AREAS
Process facilities will generally be designed to minimize hazardous location areas, such as Zone 0
and Zone 1; however by exception Zone 1 rating will apply where powered process/hazardous
equipment must remain in operation. Example of such exception is the exhaust fan of battery room.
The basis of area classification shall be IEC 60079-10-1 Explosive atmospheres – Part 10-1:
Classification of areas – Explosive atmospheres (This terminology is utilized in ATEX directive. The
terminology “Flammable”, “Combustible” and “explosive” have been used interchangeably within this
section and other applicable sections of document).
Hazardous Areas are those in which flammable gases or vapors are or may be present in the air in
quantities sufficient to produce explosive gas atmospheres. Hazardous Areas can be further divided
into three Zones, based on frequency of occurrence and duration of an explosive gas atmosphere,
as follows:
Zone 0
Location where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors are present continuously or
for long periods of time.
Zone 1
Location where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors are likely to exist under normal
operating conditions or may exist frequently because of repair, maintenance operations or leakage.
If equipment failure or faulty operations results in the release of ignitable concentrations of flammable
gases or vapors and causes electrical equipment nearby to fail, they could become a source of
ignition; therefore, this location would be considered Zone 1. Also, if a location is adjacent to Zone 0
and flammable gases or vapors could be communicated through from Zone 0 to this location it is
considered Zone 1 as well.
Zone 2
Location where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases or vapors are not likely to exist under
normal operating conditions and if they do occur, they will exist for a short period of time. If the
container ruptures or abnormal operation results in the release of ignitable concentrations of
flammable gases or vapors then this location is considered Zone 2. If the ventilation equipment that
prevents flammable gases or vapors from building up to ignitable concentrations by positive
mechanical feedback fails then the area around it is considered Zone 2. Also, if a location is adjacent
to Zone 1 and flammable gases or vapors could be communicated through from Zone 1 to this
location, it is considered Zone 2 as well.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

Non Hazardous Area
A non-hazardous area or safe area is an area in which an explosive atmosphere is not expected to
be present.
As a general note for Zones 0, 1, and 2, the greater the release rate, the larger the extent of the zone.
The release rate depends mainly on the geometry of the source of release, release velocity,
concentration, volatility of a flammable fluid and fluid temperature. The extent of the zone also
increases if the lower explosive limit decreases. The horizontal extent of the zone at ground level will
increase with increasing relative density of gas or vapour and the vertical extent above the source
will increase with decreasing relative density of gas or vapour.
To reduce the extent of the zone, physical barrier or maintaining a sufficient overpressure in the area
relative to the adjacent areas to prevent the ingress of the explosive gas atmosphere and purging the
area with sufficient flow of fresh air to ensure that the air escapes from all openings where the
flammable gas or vapour may enter or accumulate. As part of PROJECT, dikes, walls or ceilings can
be used to limit the extent of the zone.
5.3 VENTILATION AND AIR INTAKE SYSTEMS
Any building containing a fuel source and/or any contaminating agent, or in connection with a
hazardous area, shall be ventilated as follows:
 Buildings containing a continuous or primary grade release or in connection with a hazardous

area, Zone 1, shall be provided with dilution ventilation (e.g., Battery Room).
 Buildings containing a secondary source of release or in connection with a hazardous area, Zone
2, shall be either adequately ventilated if it is acceptable they remain classified Zone 2; or shall
be provided with dilution ventilation if they must be rendered non-hazardous.
 Ventilation should be used to prevent accumulation of flammable gases / vapors in an enclosed

space due to loss of containment within the enclosed space, or ingress of flammable gases /
vapors from sources originating external from the enclosed space.
 Dilution ventilation should be used to prevent accumulation of dangerous concentration of

flammable gases / vapors in an enclosed space. The method of ventilation can be either natural
or mechanical. Design of dilution ventilation systems should specify the number of air changes
per hour that is required to keep the atmosphere within the enclosed space at less than 20%
LEL.
 Pressurisation of an enclosed area containing no internal source of leakage of flammable

gas / vapors , should be used to prevent ingress of flammable gas / vapors from adjacent areas.
The air intake shall be taken from a safe, unclassified area.
 Ventilation air intakes for buildings shall be located in a safe (unclassified) area, at least 3 m
away from any hazardous area to avoid ingestion of flammable or toxic gas/vapor. The air intakes
shall be elevated.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

 All diesel engines, if applicable, shall be equipped with provision to shut-off the engine upon
ingestion of flammable gases / vapors in the air intake.
5.4 EQUIPMENT SELECTION FOR HAZARDOUS AREAS
5.4.1 General
Electrical equipment shall not normally be installed in Zone 0 hazardous area unless written approval
provided by COMPANY.
All electrical equipment selected for installation in Hazardous Area will be suitable for Zone 2 Gas
Group llB, Temperature Class T3, as a minimum.
All field instruments shall be suitable for installation in Zone 1, Gas Group IIB, and Temperature Class

6.1 SCOPE AND METHODOLOGY OF F&G PHILOSOPHY
6.1.1 Scope
This section on F&G detection, which is a part of the overall Loss Prevention Philosophy for
PROJECT, defines the goals for the design of the Fire & Gas Detection and Alarm system. It defines
also the strategy to be used to achieve these goals and provides guidance on the selection and
location of detectors, alarms and communication to concerned personnel.
6.1.2 Methodology
The methodology is as follows:
 Review existing Fire & Gas detection system.
 Determine/review potential sources of loss of containment, and identify impacted area
 Define detector type, location, voting logic and action upon detection
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

6.2 ROLE OF FIRE & GAS SYSTEM
The primary role of a Fire and Gas detection system is to detect loss of containment of flammable
and toxic material and the ignition resulting in fires to provide an early warning to operational and
emergency response team personnel so that necessary action can be initiated to control the
emergency and avoid escalation.
Considering the flammable and toxic nature of the process streams in this plant, the selection of
appropriate type of detectors, their location, voting logic and alarm is important for appropriate and
effective design of the system.
The fire & gas detection system shall perform the following three basic functions:
 Monitoring: Continuous automatic monitoring of the environment for the presence of flammable
and toxic vapour/gases and detection of fire (smoke, heat or flame)
 Alarm: Initiate alarm to alert personnel to the presence of flammable and toxic vapour/gases
and/or fire.
 Protection: Initiates control signals to ESD or Fire Suppression systems or Deluge Systems to
control the situation and prevent escalation of the event.
During FEED, an assessment of the number and locations of fire & gas detectors was carried out by
FEED Consultant by consequence analysis based 2D F&G mapping study and the devices were laid
out on the Plot Plan. During EPC, 3D F&G Mapping Study shall be conducted to confirm the
adequacy of the number and location of all F&G devices for achieving the required coverage.
Essential design features of the detection system shall include:
 Local and remote audible and visual alarms;
 Addressable, local and remote fire and gas alarm;
 Self-diagnostic capabilities to detect faults and raise an alarm at a continuously manned location
e.g. control room, fire station and or on HMI
 Signals from the fire detection system may be used to initiate operation of fire suppression
systems and facility shutdown through the Emergency Shutdown System;
 Provisions shall be made for functional tests of system components without disruption to routine
operations or interruption of protection;
 Power to FGS shall be supplied from UPS; and
 Protection of FGS against accidental damage, bypassing or deliberate tampering

6.3 FIRE AND GAS STUDY
6.3.1 General
The Fire and Gas Detection System in the 5th Oil Train will be in line with Loss Prevention Philosophy
for P8363 Fire and Gas Upgrade Project, Document No. P8363-PB-400-O-0004, “Zirku Fire & Gas
System Upgrade Project.
The scope of the study to consider fire hazards, flammable hazards, and toxic gas hazards
associated with hydrogen sulphide (H2S). Hazards associated with process areas of 5th oil train,
transformers, substation and LER will be addressed.
A Fire & Gas study shall be carried out. The study shall address:
 Definition & identification of fire & gas hazard zones for PROJECT
 Definition of zone categories & zone grades;
 Identification of the fire & gas hazard scenarios for PROJECT.
 Assigning zone category for each identified fire & gas hazard zone;
 Defining the performance requirements for fire & gas detection;
 Recommendations and findings from fire & gas study.
A Fire and Gas Detection system (FGS), totally independent from the process control systems, will
continuously monitor areas of the plant for abnormal conditions. In the event of a hazardous situation
being detected, the system shall initiate protective actions and pre-determined alarms to warn the
First Response Team, personnel in the any continuously manned location and locally where the fire
or loss of containment has occurred. The FGS initiates the appropriate visual and audible alarms by
activating beacons and horns. FGS is also used for initiating mitigating actions upon activation,
wherein such activation is not deemed to present other risks.
Fire and/or Gas detectors, appropriate to the anticipated hazard, shall be provided in sufficient
number and suitably located for effective monitoring. Detectors shall be certified for use in hazardous
areas and suitable for the area classification where installed. For operational and maintenance
reasons, the make and models of detectors shall, where reasonably practicable, be standardised
throughout the whole installation following the existing F&G Upgrade Project, inclusive of detectors
in vendor packages.
Detectors shall, as far as possible, be protected against environmental effects which may influence
their operation. Where necessary, detectors shall be protected against mechanical damage. All
cabling associated with the FGS shall be fire resistant in accordance with IEC 60331.
All detectors shall be located such that they are accessible for calibration and maintenance, as much
as possible, without the use of scaffolding. Instrument tubing to facilitate the calibration shall be
provided if the detectors are at inaccessible locations.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

6.3.2 Definition and Identification of F&G Zones
6.3.2.1 Definition of F&G Zones
Fire & Gas Zones are primarily segregation of process and non-process areas into discrete zones
based on common hazards and automated actions of F&G detection systems.
The following criteria shall be used to define the zones in rank order:
 Similar process equipment and hazard: Zone boundaries should be defined such that equipment
with similar process hazards are grouped together. Distinct and separate hazards shall be
classified as separate zones;
 Similar FGS system actions: Detection and alarm within an individual zone should initiate a
distinct set of defined automatic FGS response. If different FGS actions are required between
adjacent areas, even with similar equipment, then a separate zone shall be defined;
 Similar alarm type and emergency response: Alarm within an individual zone should imply a
distinct set of defined protective actions to be taken by personnel. If the required protective
actions taken by personnel differ between adjacent areas, then separate zones shall be defined;
 Segregation of gas migration hazard: An additional design objective is to detect migration of

flammable or toxic gas from one operating area to adjacent areas or buildings using gas detection
with appropriate alarms and FGS actions. Separate hazard zones shall be identified that require
segregation from adjacent operating areas to achieve this design objective.
 Areas with high toxic gas (H2S) hazard shall be segregated from areas with significantly lower or
no H2S hazard. Areas that are determined to have significantly different levels of risk from the
same hazard should be classified as separate zones.
 Unclassified Electrical Equipment: The need to protect unclassified electrical equipment within
an enclosure and segregate from classified areas requires definition of a separate zone; Areas
requiring segregation of flammable gas hazards to prevent ignition from unclassified electrical
equipment shall be segregated from adjacent areas and separate zones shall be identified.
6.3.2.2 Identification of F&G Zones
Each identified fire and gas zone, based on the above definition, shall be listed with general
characterization of flammable/toxic gas and fire hazard and shall be laid out on a plot plan to clearly
identify the zones.
6.3.3 Definition and Zone Categories and Zone Grades
6.3.3.1 Zone Categories
The fire & gas zones shall be assigned a category as defined in the table below:
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

Zone Examples
Area Definitions

electrical equipment and Combustion air system. building airlocks etc.
Table 01 - Zone Category Definitions
6.3.3.2 Zone Grades
A graded area is a sub-section of a fire and gas zone to which performance targets are applied. Zone
grades shall be used to determine appropriate coverage of detectors for a specific hazard. The zone
category H defined in above section shall be graded into one of the three fire and gas grades given
in the table below. The grades define the relative risk of fire and gas hazards between different
hydrocarbon process zones. The following Table shows the definition of different zone grades:
Zone Grade Definition
A Hydrocarbon Process with high exposure/risk
B Hydrocarbon Process with moderate exposure/risk
C Hydrocarbon Process with low or very low exposure/risk
Table 02 - Zone Grade Definitions (Zone Category H)
Grading is a function of the equipment, hazards, consequences, likelihood, occupancy, and special
factors. An assessment of hazards for each zone to assign grading shall address the following;
 Assessment of hydrocarbon process equipment;
 Assessment of fire and gas consequences; and
 Assessment of release likelihood
6.3.4 Identification of F&G Hazard Scenarios
Different types of fire & gas hazards that can occur in the PROJECT facility shall be identified.
These identified fire & gas hazards shall be modelled to determine thermal radiation (due to pool, jet
and flash fire) explosion overpressure and flammable / toxic gas cloud boundaries.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

The consequence modelling results shall be used to determine the number and location of fire and
gas detectors.
6.3.5 Assigning Zone Category for Identified F&G Zones
The identified fire & gas zones as per Section 6.3.3 above shall be assigned a zone category based
on Section 6.3.3.1 and zone grade based on Section 6.3.3.2 above for Zones Category H.
6.3.6 Defining Performance Requirements for F&G Detectors
6.3.6.1 Performance Target for F&G Zones
The performance target defines the ability of the function to detect, alarm, and if necessary, mitigate
the consequence of a fire or gas release upon a demand condition. In concept, a higher hazard
installation should require higher levels of performance; while a lower hazard installation should allow
for lower levels of performance, so that FGS resources can be more effectively allocated.
Performance target for Fire and Gas zones is defined below in Table 03. These targets are based on
assessment of typical hazard scenarios, consequences, likelihoods and target risk reduction. As per
ADNOC Offshore Corporate risk tolerance guideline.
Fire or Gas Grade Target Fire or Gas Detection Coverage

A 90 %
B 85 %
C 60%
Table 03–Performance Target for Fire and Gas Detection
6.3.6.2 Performance Target for Toxic Gas Detectors
Design of toxic gas detection to achieve general coverage in process areas requires H2S detection
at an incipient stage where action can be taken to prevent personnel exposure. The primary concern
is to alert workers of a hazard prior to worker entry into a process area. Once in the process area,
worker safety is primarily dependant on personal H2S monitors.
Toxic gas detection performance targets shall be evaluated for locations where a release of toxic gas
can result in H2S concentration above the level that it considered immediately dangerous to life and
health (IDLH) (>100 ppm) downwind of the immediate hazard area.
The following three categories are used to define toxic gas detector performance requirements:
Gas Grade Gas Grade Definition

Table 04–Toxic Gas Grade Definitions
Gas grade A is typically assigned to zones where personnel have a high risk of exposure/injury due
to a small gas release, while gas grade B is typically assigned to areas subject to a moderate risk of
injury from releases that are larger than pinhole size. Gas grade C is typically assigned to areas
where potential ground level concentration of H2S in excess of levels that can cause personnel injury
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

is not anticipated. Other performance target criteria will be as per P8363-PB-400-O-0004, “Zirku Fire
& Gas System Upgrade Project - Loss Prevention Philosophy.
6.3.6.3 Performance Target for Flammable Gas Detectors
Design of flammable gas detection to achieve general coverage in process areas requires that
flammable gas should be detected at an incipient stage so that necessary mitigation measures can
be taken to prevent escalation and significant losses.
Flammable gas detection performance targets shall be evaluated in locations where ignited gas
clouds could cause damage from explosion overpressure. In these locations, the smallest gas cloud
that has the potential to cause such damage shall be used to define requirements for placing
flammable gas detectors. Three categories are used to define gas detector performance
requirements as shown in below table 05.
Gas Grade Gas Grade Definition

Table 05–Flammable Gas Grade Definitions
Gas grade A is typically assigned to zones subject to a high degree of confinement. 90% detector
coverage is set as the performance target associated with Grade A. Gas grade B is typically assigned
to areas subject to a moderate degree of confinement. 85% detector coverage is set as the
performance target associated with grade B. Gas grade C is typically assigned to open hydrocarbon
processing areas where the primary concern is migration of flammable gas to other hydrocarbon
processing areas. The performance target associated with grade C is 60% coverage.
The number and location of flammable gas detectors for general area coverage shall be assessed in
the Fire & Gas Mapping study through application of performance target defined above and based
on criteria which will outlined in in P8363-PB-400-O-0004, “Zirku Fire & Gas System Upgrade Project
- Loss Prevention Philosophy.
6.3.6.4 Performance Target for Fire (Flame) Detectors
Fire (Flame) detection system shall be designed on the principle of early detection of fire in its
incipient stage so that action can be taken to prevent escalation. The primary objective is early
detection and annunciation/alarm to inform personnel to evacuate the area safely if needed. A
secondary objective is to initiate fire suppression measures to minimise loss/damage to assets.
Incipient fire detection requires that sufficient numbers of flame detectors are strategically located to
provide adequate coverage. The categories used to establish performance targets for each fire
detection zone are shown in below table 06.
Fire Grade Fire Grade Definition

Table 06–Fire (Flame) Grade Definitions

BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

Grade A shall be used for zones in hydrocarbon handling areas where small fires could rapidly
escalate and/or cause significant damage in a short period of time. The performance targets
associated with Grade A is minimum 90% detector coverage. The performance targets associated
with Grade B is minimum 85% detector coverage. Grade C shall be used if Grade B level of detection
is considered conservative due to low hazard of hydrocarbon fire. For Grade C detector coverage
should meet minimum levels of 60%.
Radiant heat output (RHO) shall be used to specify Flame detector sensitivity and location. Fire
detection in area with high fire hazard exposure shall be sensitive to lower levels of RHO than fire
detection in locations with lower fire hazard exposure.
The radiant heat output levels that trigger alarm conditions and, if necessary, automatic control
actions are shown in below Table 06.
Fire Grade Fire Detection Sensitivity (RHO)

Alarm(kW) Automatic Control Action(kW)
A 10 10
B 10 50
C 100 250
Table 07–Fire Detector Sensitivity
Requirements for the number and location of flame detectors for general area coverage shall be
determined in the Fire & Gas Mapping study through application of performance targets defined
above.
6.4 FIRE AND GAS MODELLING
The F&G Mapping Study will be conducted after 30 % Model Review and updated after 90 % Model
Review, considering the criteria and performance described in section 6.3 above.
6.5 SELECTION OF TYPE OF F&G DETECTORS
6.5.1 Fire and Smoke Detection
A fire detection system shall be installed in any installation complying with the following two
conditions:
 Where there is a significant risk of occurrence of fire; and
 Where unabated, fire may lead to unacceptable risks to human life, assets or environment.
Based on the above criteria, fire detection systems will be provided in areas with significant
combustible or flammable inventories (e.g., process units, pumps, etc.), as well as all buildings and
transformer sheds.
Fire detection can be either accomplished by flame detection, combustion products (smoke) detection
or heat detection or a combination of more than one of these.
Smoke detectors shall not be used in open areas or heavily ventilated areas; hence their use is limited
to inside buildings. The most common areas suitable for smoke detection are the Operator
Shelter/Cabin, Local Equipment Room (LER) and Sub-stations.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

Photoelectric (Optical) type smoke detectors will be used for Project scope buildings like Substation,
LER and operator’s shelter/cabin.
In areas of LER and Substation, where incipient fire detection is required for an early response,
aspirated type smoke detectors also known as High Sensitivity Smoke Detection System (HSSD) or
Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA™ or equivalent) shall be used. HSSD detection will
be provided for alarm purposes only.
Multi-spectrum Infra-Red (3IR) flame detectors shall be used for fires resulting from process piping
and equipment. These detectors shall be strategically located in the plant areas. These detectors
should be shielded from direct solar radiation, reflected flare radiation and impact damage. Detectors
for general area coverage should be individually hardwired analogue inputs to the FGS logic solver.
Detectors should be suitable for plant electrical area classification requirements.
Fusible plugs are fire detectors that operate on the principal of heat detection as compared to 3IR
detectors that detect flames. These heat detectors are provided around the fire hazardous process
equipment and are connected to a pressurized pneumatic header system. In the event of a fire,
activation of a fusible plug causes a loss of pneumatic pressure. The low pneumatic pressure
activates a fail-open deluge valve initiating the flow of FW through a network of deluge piping and
deluge nozzles. Activation of the deluge system is upon detection by a single fusible plug (no voting
is required) and is limited only to the zone in which a fire has been detected.
6.5.1.1 Fire Detector - Optical Flame Detectors
Multi-spectrum Infra-Red type fire detector shall be used. These detectors shall be shielded from
direct solar radiation, and from incident and reflected flare radiation. Detectors should be suitable for
the hazardous area classification of the location where these detectors shall be installed.
The response time for these detectors shall be less than 10 seconds for a 1 ft. x 1 ft. of Heptane fire
at a distance of 50 feet. The field of view shall be 90 - 120 degrees.
6.5.1.2 Fire Detector - Linear Heat Detectors
The linear heat detectors shall be provided for detecting transformer fires. These shall be rated to
alarm at 85ºC
6.5.1.3 Fire Detector - Fusible Plugs
Fusible plugs operate on the principal of detecting heat and not flame or products of combustion.
Number of fusible plug heat detectors are generally installed in a given process areas surrounding
hazardous equipment requiring spray water application and will be connected to a pressurized
pneumatic header.
In the event of a fire, the fusible plug in the system melts and causes de-pressurization of the
pneumatic header that activates a deluge valve to apply FW through the deluge nozzles to the
protected equipment/area.
Both Fusible plugs and flame detection shall be used separately for deluge activation and should be
similar to the type which is currently being used in Zirku facility.

Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA™ or equivalent) shall be used. False Floor, Ceiling
Voids and the Room Voids, Equipment Room and Electrical Room shall be provided with High
Sensitivity Smoke Detection System or Very Early Smoke Detection Apparatus (VESDA™ or
equivalent). Project scope building (SS116 & LER for Train#5 & 6) control panel will be covered by

In other building or enclosure where incipient fire detection is not required, photoelectric smoke
detectors should be used. The smoke detectors shall be spaced according to the NFPA 72. Smoke
detectors shall not be installed more than 60 cm below the ceiling. The detectors shall be evenly
distributed, with particular attention given to friezes and dropped girders, ventilation air inlet and outlet

7 ACTIVE FIRE PROTECTION
7.1 GENERAL
Fire protection systems, both active and passive, will be provided to control a fire event and minimize
escalation potential associated with it in order to facilitate safe escape and evacuation of personnel
from the impacted area and prevent damage to assets, critical plant equipment and / or structures.
The basic objective for active fire protection is to limit or prevent the escalation of a fire, to avoid risk
to life and to minimize asset damage until the source of hazard has been isolated.
The Active Fire Protection system shall be designed to fulfill the following:
 To Extinguish / control the fire at the early stage.
 Cooling adjacent plant and equipment exposed to thermal radiation
A single major fire occurrence at any given time is considered as the design basis for worst case FW
demand for fire fighting
This document lists the applicable codes and standards that are to be used for active fire protection
for PROJECT, and summarises their applicable requirements. Active fire protection shall mainly be
provided by automatically and manually operated fixed fire suppression systems, in conjunction with
portable and mobile fire-fighting equipment.
Following will be the minimum Fire Protection measures provided for new PROJECT facilities:
 Fire ring main;
 Hydrants and Fire Hose Cabinets;
 Locally operated monitors at grade for water or foam application, permanently connected to a 1.0
m3 capacity foam storage tank, with a minimum capacity of 360 m3/hr (1500USGPM). The
monitor nozzles shall be capable of varying the water flow pattern from straight jet to fog;
 Remotely operated elevated monitors for water or foam application, with a minimum capacity of
360 m3/hr(1500GPM) and the monitor nozzles shall be capable of varying the water flow pattern
from straight jet to fog;
 Water Deluge systems;
 Manual Foam Application by monitors for suppression of pool fire;
 Strategically placed hand held or wheeled fire extinguishers throughout the project facilities;
suitable for type A, B, and C fires; and
 Clean agent (Existing facilities at Zirku uses Inergen) fire extinguishing system for New
Substation Building and LER Building rooms.
Existing firewater network shall be extended to cover the PROJECT facilities and to ensure that
adequate firewater can be provided to fight a fire and cool adjacent process equipment and shall be
designed to meet the PROJECT requirements, ensuring the expected maximum firewater demand
will be delivered.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

A Fire & Explosion Risk Assessment (FERA) Report shall be prepared in the early stage of the project
to define the fire and explosion protection measures (active and passive fire protection, fire/ blast
walls etc.) required to mitigate fire and/or explosion hazards from the new facilities under this project
scope. FERA shall assess effects on personnel as well as assets and business risk. Also the hazards
from existing facilities to new facilities, as identified from different existing HSE studies, shall be
assessed and protection measures will be defined for the new project facilities.
The FERA study shall be used for reviewing/defining active and passive fire protection requirements.
Based on fire protection design, Fire Protection Performance Targets study will be performed for
PROJECT and report will be submitted for COMPANY approval.
FERA report shall identify Fire Zones for PROJECT facility. While performing FERA study, existing
fire zoning will be used as reference. FERA defined three new zones for PROJECT facility i.e.Train5,
New Electrical Substation Building (SS-116) and LER. Inline Mixer Equipment and project scope tie-
ins, will be considered as part of the existing fire zones. These Fire zones are created in order to
segregate hazards and limit the probability of escalation from one area to another. The extent of the
fire zone is determined by defining the boundaries based on acceptable level of thermal radiation in
case of fire and blast overpressure in case of a vapor cloud explosion.
Where existing facilities are modified within the PROJECT scope, site specific existing HSE or Loss
Prevention philosophies and guidelines will be applied for the design, including guidelines applicable
to the following aspects of safety engineering:
 Fire Zone
 Flammable and Toxic Gas Detection
 Fire Detection
 Active Fire Protection
 Passive Fire Protection
 Explosion Protection
Fire protection equipment shall be selected and installed based on hazards within each particular
zone.
7.2 FIRE PROTECTION SYSTEM DESIGN
7.2.1 Firewater Demand
Existing firewater network shall be extended to cover the new PROJECT facilities. Extension involves
predominantly new build within the unit and tie-in and extension of the existing firewater network.
Based on Existing Fire Water Pump Data Sheet, the two operating fire water pumps will deliver 150
% of rated capacity, 4050 m3/h @ head of 130 meter (12.7barg)
However Existing Fire water pump & driver adequacy report, concludes that as per performance tests
conducted for existing fire water pumps, electrical pump can be safely operated within the range of
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

120% of rated capacity (i.e. 1620 m3/h @ head of 160meter (15.6barg)) because the required motor
power is within the rated motor power. When two pumps will be operating at 120 %, 2 x 1620 m3/hr
i.e. 3240 m3/hr can be delivered safely.
The existing Zirku Facilities fire water main is designed for FW flow rate of 3,500 m3/hr (15,400 GPM).
As per API RP 2001, the maximum firewater flow rate for process areas handling gas or combustible
liquid should be 1140m3/hr (19000 l/min); however this flow rate is only valid if the firefighting is done
using only monitors and hose streams. This flow rate may be used only as a guide; however it will
not be applicable to this project as deluge system are provided.
The worst case fire water demand for the 5th Oil Train of the PROJECT shall be calculated to confirm
that the existing firewater supply is adequate to provide the required firewater to the unit tie-ins and
at required flow rate and pressure. The ring main for the 5th Oil Train shall be supplied from two
different isolatable sections of the existing FW ring main.
Section 6.2.1.2 of API RP 2001 provides guidance for determining water flow rates for process areas.
Where partial or total protection is provided by fixed water spray, sprinkler, or foam systems, the flow
rate should be the sum of the flow rates required for proper operation of the fixed systems, plus an
allowance for simultaneous operation of monitors and hose streams.
The worst case FW demand shall be calculated based on the assumption that only one fire event will
happen at any given time based on API guidance and industry practice.
As per FERA report, the basis for fire water demand calculation to be considered for PROJECT is
that all deluge systems in a Fire Zone shall be activated in case of fire involving any equipment in the
fire zone.
Based on Section 8.5.3.7 of NFPA15, supplemental water application from two hose streams
114m3/hr (500 GPM) shall be provided for all fire scenarios in oil train.
Based on Section 7.4.4.3.6 of NFPA15, supplemental water application from one hose stream 57
m3/hr (250 GPM) shall be provided for all fire scenarios in transformer yard.
Based on NFPA, API and industry practice, the FW demand calculation shall be based on the
combination of:
 FW demand for foam application for controlling/suppressing the fire. The foam application rate of
6.5 lpm/min/m2, provided by monitors, for pool fires in non-diked spill areas, shall be used as per
NFPA 11. Consideration will be given for one no. of 360 m3/h monitors for pool fire application.
 FW for cooling of nearby exposed equipment (fixed water deluge systems for oil train fire zone)
 FW requirement for a minimum of two hand held hoses of 114 m3/hr (500GPM) capacity (each
outlet having capacity of 57 m3/hr (250 GPM).
Firewater hydraulic calculations shall be performed updating FEED fire water network model for the
integrated fire water network including new and the existing system using latest version of Pipenet™
to ensure that the line sizes are adequate to deliver the required FW at the required pressure to all
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

users and to ensure that the FW pressure at the farthest hydrant in the new FW ring main is minimum
at 6.9 barg (100 psig).

8 PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION
8.1 GENERAL PRINCIPLES
Passive protection should be preferred over active protection as it is inherently more reliable than the
latter. Active protection measures require routine testing and maintenance to ensure operability when
needed during an emergency. Also manual or automatic intervention is needed for its activation. On
the contrary, passive protection measures are low maintenance and do not require intervention to
initiate activation.
8.2 FIRE PROOFING
Fireproofing performs its function without relying on activation. The prime function of passive fire
protection is to retard the rate of temperature increase of a given substrate. The principle value of
fireproofing is realized during the early stages of a fire when efforts are primarily directed at controlling
the event. If fireproofing is not provided, ESDV in a fire zone may fail to operate, equipment supports
carrying heavy loads may collapse during this critical period and escalation may take place. If an
intense fire persists for a prolonged period, fireproofing may have no significant effect on the final
extent of property damage.
As a general rule, fire proofing is provided for protection against flammable liquid pool fires; however
fire proofing may also be considered if a credible exposure from jet fire is determined by Fire and
Explosion Risk Analysis. In general it is not cost effective to apply fireproofing on supporting steel
structures to protect against jet fires.
The justification for Passive Fire Protection (PFP) is based on assumptions that typical unprotected
structural members will lose about 50% of its strength at 5380C (10000F). As per API 2218, ½ inch
thick structural steel will reach 5380C (10000F) in approximately 6 minutes when exposed to gasoline
fire on one side. It is therefore necessary to protect part of the structure and/or some equipment in
order to meet the requirements regarding safety to life, protection of environment and assets. The
aim of PFP is to protect the equipment and structure until firefighting activities can be initiated. PFP
primarily protects personnel, escape routes, critical structure members, and equipment when
exposed to pool fire.
The performance of PFP (in terms of fire resistance), is determined as the period of time (in minutes)
during which the PFP protects the structure or the equipment. The PFP shall:
1. Ensure that the structure fulfils its load-bearing capacity throughout the fire exposure for the
defined time.
2. Prevent spread of flames and hot fumes throughout the fire exposure period.
3. Ensure that unexposed side of the partition does not reach unacceptable surface temperatures.
Fire rated walls shall also be provided to control the spread of fire between two sections of a building
that have different levels of criticality for continued operation of the facility.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

The results of the Fire and Explosion Risk Assessment Study will determine the supports and
structures requiring PFP.
Furthermore, Passive Fire Protection Schedule Report (Doc No- P7564-GD-428-O-0001) will be
developed based on API 2218 and FERA outcomes.
Based on Passive Fire Protection schedule, Passive Fire Protection Layouts will be updated for the
Project. Passive Fire Protection layout will indicate support of equipment, structures and ESDV valves
to be fire proofed.
8.3 EXPOSURE PROTECTION OF BUILDINGS
Based on FERA findings, building exterior walls shall be designed to withstand the thermal radiation
that they can be exposed to in the event of a fire in the adjoining area.
Fire rating for external and internal walls will be indicated in Technical Specification of Architectural
Building Material &Construction Works (Doc No-P7564-TS-400-A-0001) / Architectural drawing of
buildings.
Exterior walls of New Substation Building (SS-116) facing towards transformers and walls separating
transformers from each other shall be protected against exposure to outdoor transformer fires by
utilizing a combination of separation distances, fire rated walls and water spray system.
Transformers indicated in section 7.3.2 table will be protected by deluge system as per NFPA 15.
8.4 EXTENT AND DURATION OF FIRE PROOFING
Fire Potential Equipment will be identified as per API 2218. The API 2218 and FERA study shall be
used for defining passive fire protection requirements for PROJECT Scope Facilities.
Flammable liquid pools can collect on impermeable floor surfaces either at grade or on solid elevated
surface. Such surfaces can sustain a pool fire. As a general rule, for flammable liquid pool fires, up
to 12 m diameter from the potential source of leak, a passive fire protection from grade or solid
elevated surface to 9.0 m height shall be considered adequate to maintain stability and integrity of
the vertical structure members of the pipe rack and supports shall be fire proofed in accordance with
API 2218 to protect vessels, either horizontal or vertical.
When failure of structural members that support equipment has the potential to add fuel to escalate
the fire, fireproofing should be considered for the vertical and horizontal steel support members from
grade up to the highest level at which the equipment is supported.
Fireproofing shall be considered for steel saddles that support horizontal heat exchangers,
condensers, coolers, drums and receivers that have diameters greater than 750 mm (30 inches) if
the narrow vertical distance between the concrete pier and the shell of the vessel exceeds 300 mm
(12 inches).
The length of time during which a steel structure needs to maintain its integrity depends on the type
of plant, availability of fire-fighting services, and risk of escalation. The minimum protection time
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564

against a hydrocarbon fire shall be based on the outcome of FERA. FERA report identified
fireproofing duration of 90 minutes for supports and structures.
In cases where structures cannot be cooled by water, increasing the fire resistance to a longer
duration shall be considered. Where effective water cooling is not feasible (e.g. due to the
configuration of the structure), the required duration of the PFP depends on the estimated time for
the fire to burn out or be extinguished.
Where significant flammable liquid inventories exist, consideration will be given to providing PFP to
supporting structures of vessels.
Cables used for activation of emergency systems e.g. F & G detection & alarm, shut down, blow
down, escape, evacuation and fire protection equipment shall be fire resistant type. Cables used for
normal loads shall be flame retardant type.
Pneumatic Instruments lines within a fire hazardous area will be constructed from Type 904L
Stainless Steel tubing and will not require fireproofing.
The ESD valve actuator should be fire-proofed for at least 30 minutes duration to provide enough
time for emergency isolation/depressurization.
The hydrocarbon fire test as defined in UL 1709 is applicable to all fireproofing systems provided on
steel supports and structures within processing facilities. This fire is more severe than the cellulose
type of fire which is usually referred to in building regulations.
Criteria of Fire Hazard scenario envelope (Based on API 2218), Passive fire protection requirements
and schedule of fire potential equipment will be detailed out in PROJECT document “ Passive Fire
Protection Schedule Report (Doc No- P7564-GD-428-O-0001). Fire Proofing Layouts showing fire
proofing zones shall be developed based on Passive Fire Protection Schedule.
9 BLAST OVERPRESSURE PROTECTION
Explosion protection shall be accomplished by the following design provisions:
 Segregating ignition sources from combustible / flammable inventories;
 Selecting appropriate electrical equipment to meet the requirements of electrical area

classification; and
 Providing adequate separation between areas where an explosion or fire is possible and other
process areas or buildings.
Based on FERA, the blast overpressure exposure to a building shall be used for design of buildings
to ensure that the building structure is capable of withstanding the overpressure to which it is
subjected. The building shall be reinforced, if needed, to protect the structure against the effects of
overpressure.
BROWNFIELD PROJECTS
PROJECT NO. P-7564
