In many process incidents, the immediate goal is not necessarily to put out the fire, but to control it. Water spray is used to cool adjacent equipment exposed to radiant heat. By keeping steel vessels and piping cool, the Recommended Practice aims to prevent:
Preventing critical infrastructure from failing during a fire.
Primarily for the petroleum industry and petrochemicals that are non-water-reactive and have combustion characteristics similar to hydrocarbons. System Function:
: Reducing the fire's intensity so it can be managed until the fuel source is shut off. Exposure Protection : Absorbing heat to keep surface temperatures safe. System Components : It specifies the use of deluge valves
Cooling equipment surfaces to prevent structural failure or boiling liquid expanding vapor explosions (BLEVEs).
