Petroleum facilities containing welded steel bulk flammable liquid product storage tanks possess sundry fire hazards inherent to the facility. These installations urgently require indigenous efficient firefighting systems. So, the efficient design of firewater and firefighting foam system is dynamic in controlling fire-related emergencies. The paper deals with the in-depth conceptualization of the design and analysis of firefighting systems for a typical petroleum handling, processing and storage facility in compliance with international standards. The study is aimed to formulate the elementary technique for designing an optimized firefighting system. The proposed objective was achieved by considering an ideal tank farm site that is most commonly located in a range of terminal stations, pumping stations, petroleum refineries, well sites, etc. Sufficient illumination was enumerated on the standardized classification of the liquid fuel product with respect their flammability range. Special guidelines regarding firefighting system design basis were defined and an optimized firefighting and foam system design was developed. Moreover, sufficient limitations that must be considered during the firefighting of huge tank fires are discussed. This comprehensive numerical design philosophy offers a simple and wide-ranging guide to industrial practitioners by formulating the principles for industrial firefighting system design.
包含焊接钢质散装易燃液体产品储存罐的石油设施存在该设施固有的各种火灾隐患。这些设施迫切需要本土高效的消防系统。因此，消防水和消防泡沫系统的高效设计对于控制与火灾相关的紧急情况至关重要。本文深入探讨了符合国际标准的典型石油装卸、加工和储存设施消防系统的设计与分析概念。该研究旨在制定设计优化消防系统的基本技术。通过考虑理想的罐区场地来实现拟议目标，这种场地最常见于一系列终端站、泵站、炼油厂、油井场地等。文中详细列举了液体燃料产品根据其可燃范围的标准化分类。定义了有关消防系统设计依据的特殊指南，并开发了优化的消防和泡沫系统设计。此外，还讨论了在扑救大型油罐火灾时必须考虑的充分限制因素。这种全面的数值设计理念通过制定工业消防系统设计原则，为工业从业者提供了简单而广泛的指导。
