hi all,

I had seen one of the floating early production unit having oil & gas separation & treatment unit like separators, gas dehydration units & export facilities provided only firewater monitors for fire fighting.

They have calculated firewater demand based on water application rate proposed in API 14G for separate fire zones and cater those firewater demands based on monitors.

Please clarify where we require spray/deluge system , whether we can use only monitors for the above facility .

thanks,

mark

The owner will ultimately decide what is acceptable and will likely rely heavily on guidance from the insurance company and applicable laws. Get advice from your fire protection specialist early. Since you have already seen a unit configured with monitors only, it sounds like there is not a universal requirement.
