1. SCOPE
This document summaries the firewater demand for firewater system due to hazard from the
Indonesia LNG Transportation And Receiving Terminal Pesanggaran Site.

2. REFERENCES
The references that use in this document are:
• NFPA 15 – Standard for Water Spray Fixed Systems for Fire Protection
• NFPA 20 – Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection
• NFPA 59A - tandard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas
(LNG)
• IS 15301 – Installation and Maintenance of Fire Fighting Pumps

3. FIREWATER DEMAND CALCULATION

To determined wáter storage capacity, we must find all área that required firewater
protection. In LNG Transportation And Receiving Terminal Pesanggaran Site, there is 6 (six)
case for water demand calculation:

3.1 CASE 01 : WATER DEMAND CALCULATION FOR VAPORISER AREA:

Designed density of the water as per NFPA-59A / NFPA-15 : 10.2 lpm/sq.mtr
Area of the Vapourisers : ( 35 x 25 ) Sq.mtr
= 875 sq.mtr.
Water required for cooling = 8925 lpm = 536 cu.m/hr
Allowance of hand hose stream =1000 gpm
=228 cu.m/hr
Now Total water required for Vapoiser Area = 536 + 228 = 764 cu.m/hr. …… (01)

3.2 CASE 02 : WATER DEMAND CALCULATION FOR BOG COMPRESSOR AREA :

Designed density of the water as per NFPA-59A / NFPA -15 : 10.2 lpm/sq.mtr
Surface area of the BOG Compressor Area : ( 10 x 10 ) Sq.mtr
= 100 sq.mtr.
Water required for cooling : 1020 lpm = 61 cu.m/hr
Allowance of hand hose stream =1000 gpm
 Rev. No :

Page : 5/7

=228 cu.m/hr
Now Total water required for BOG Compressor = 61 + 228 = 289 cu.m/hr. …… (02)

3.3 CASE 03 : WATER DEMAND CALCULATION FOR HP PUMP HOUSE AREA :

Designed density of the water as per NFPA-59A / NFPA -15 : 10.2 lpm/sq.mtr
Surface area of the HP Pump House : ( 21.5 x 8.5 ) Sq.mtr
= 183 sq.mtr.
Water required for cooling : 1867 lpm = 112 cu.m/hr
Allowance of hand hose stream =1000 gpm
=228 cu.m/hr
Now Total water required for HP Pump House = 112 + 228 = 340 cu.m/hr. …… (03)

3.4 CASE 04 : WATER DEMAND CALCULATION FOR GAS METERING ROOM :

Designed density of the water as per NFPA-59A / NFPA-15 : 10.2 lpm/sq.mtr
Surface area of the Metering Room : ( 5 x 5 ) Sq.mtr = 25 sq.mtr.
Water required for cooling : 255 lpm = 15 cu.m/hr
Allowance of hand hose stream =1000 gpm
=228 cu.m/hr
Now Total water required for Gas Metering Room = 15 + 228 = 243 cu.m/hr.…… (04)

3.5 CASE 05 : WATER DEMAND CALCULATION FOR SENT OUT MANIFOLD AREA :
Designed density of the water as per NFPA-59A / NFPA-15 : 10.2 lpm/sq.mtr
Surface area of the Sent Out Manifold : ( 6 x 5 ) Sq.mtr
= 30 sq.mtr.
Water required for cooling : 306 lpm = 18 cu.m/hr
Allowance of hand hose stream =1000 gpm
=228 cu.m/hr
Now Total water required for Sent Out Manifold Area = 18 + 228 = 246 cu.m/hr.……(05)

3.6 CASE 06 : WATER DEMAND CALCULATION FOR LNG TANK TOP AREA
 Rev. No :
FIRE WATER SYSTEM CALCULATION
Page : 6/7

Designed density of the water as per NFPA-59A / NFPA-15 : 10.2 lpm/sq.mtr

Surface area of the LNG Tank Top : ( 3.14x20x20 ) Sq.mtr
= 1256 sq.mtr.
Water required for cooling : 12811 lpm = 769 cu.m/hr
Allowance of hand hose stream =1000 gpm
=228 cu.m/hr
Now Total water required for LNG TANK TOP Area = 769 + 228 = 997 cu.m/hr.…… (06)

4. SUMMARY
Case No. Areas Maximum Fire Water Demand
01 Vaporiser Area 764 cu.m/hr.
02 BOG Compressor 289 cu.m/hr.
03 HP Pump House 340 cu.m/hr.
04 Metering Station 243 cu.m/hr.
05 Send Out Manifold 246 cu.m/hr.
06 LNG Tank Top 997 cu.m/hr.

Form the above Summary Table, it can be seen that,

Water demand to fight the single (01) major fire at a time are as follows:
WATER DEMAND FOR LNG TANK TOP AREA = 997 cu.m/hr.

HENCE, DESIGN FIRE WATER RATE = 997 cu.m/hr.

Main Fire water Pumps to be installed : 2 nos. ( Diesel EngineDriven)

Selected capacity of each Pump as per NFPA 20 : 568 cu.m/hr. (2500 gpm)
Working Philosophy of the Main Pump : 02 Working + 01 Stand By

Jockey Pumps to be installed : 2 nos. (Electrical Driven)

Capacity of each Pump (min 3% of design flow) : 17 cu.m/hr. (75 gpm)
Working Philosophy of the Pump : 01 working + 01 stand by
Capacity of each Jockey Pump selected : 17 cu.m/hr.

Total pump discharge = 568 x 2 = 1136 cu.m/hr.

Water requirement for 2 hours as per NFPA 59A =1136 x 2
= 2272 cu.m

2 nos Fire Water Tank to be installed of size = 12.50 M Dia x 10.50 M Ht.
