1 The development Of the new CEN standard For fire fighting foam systems EN13565 Part 2

2 Presented by: Bob Whiteley Engineering & Standards Manager Tyco Fire & Integrated Solutions Ltd Convenor CEN/TC191/WG2

3 Fire Fighting Foam systems Where are foam systems used? Flammable liquid hazards Why are foam systems used? Extinguish fire Suppress vapours Minimise loss & pollution Why is a new standard needed? Consistent approach Reflect current technology

4 EN13565 Part 2 Background and basis of standard Scope of the standard Protection concepts used The new design approach Status of the standard

5 CEN/TC191/WG2 Working Group membership 2 - Oil industry representatives 1 Consultant 1 foam equipment and media manufacturer 2 system design and installation contractors 2 component / media test & approval agencies

6 Background information: German Planning and Installation Rules UK BS5306 Parts 6.1 & 6.2 NFPA 11,11A,16,409 Lastfire Project data Foam Spex research project

7 Scope of the Standard - For competent persons -As part of a risk management strategy derived from risk assessment by others -For class B and some Class A fuels -Low, Medium and High Expansion foams -Integrated with process control and manual fire fighting provisions.

8 Typical Applications Hazard Low Exp. Medium Exp. High Exp. Flamm. Liquid storage tanks No No Tank Bunds indoors Process areas indoors Aircraft hangars Type 3 only Fuel transfer indoors LNG No No LPG No Marine Jetties No Warehouses-class A&B fuels No

9 Planning Fuels, hazard areas for protection Type & location of foam proportioning Water supply requirements

10 Water Supplies -Flow & pressure largest design scenario - Includes water cooling requirements - Available at all times - EN12259 Pt12 - Main & reserve pumps

11 Water Quality No sediments or pollution- Reduces foam expansion Affects foam properties

12 Foam concentrates EN1568 series foam standards Proportioner compatible Enough Foam for maximum demand (flow + time) Continuous operation 100% reserve < 24 hrs

13 Foam Quantity V = q x A x t x Z/100 Where: V = Quantity of foam concentrate required - litres q = foam application rate lpm/m 2 A = protected area - m 2 t = operating time minutes Z = proportioning rate -%

14 Foam supplies Pumps max. flow-new pipe + proportioner tolerance. Proportioners EN13565 Part 1 - Accuracy - Annual testing - Max + min. flow

15 Piping EN (sprinklers) Normally empty pipe galvanised steel Flushing and drain connections Foam concentrate foam compatible - no galvanised pipe. Non Newtonian foams (AR) Aspirated foam friction loss = Q 2 /d 5

16 Detection and Control Manual release clearly identified Alarms manned stations Pre-discharge alarms personnel hazards Large outdoor tanks delayed discharge - mitigation measures

17 Foam System Design New approach EN1568 foam classifications Type of object protected Height of nozzles

18 Application rate low / medium expansion foam Q = q th x f c x f o x f h Where: Q = minimum application rate lpm/m 2 q th = nominal application rate = 4 lpm/m 2 f c f o f h = correction factor foam classification = correction factor object = correction factor nozzle height

19 f c correction factor foam classification EN Ext. time A-D Burnback Extinguishing Corr. Factor Corr factor Foam types Perf. Class Spill Fuel in depth 1A/1B AFFF-AR. FFFP- AR. FFFP 1C/1D 1.0 N.A. AFFF,FFFP 2A/B FP,FP-AR 2C/D 1.25 N.A. FP 3B 1.5 N.A. S,P 3C/3D 1.75 N.A. S

20 f o - correction factor- object Hazard Fire type handlines monitors Fixed systems Top pouring Sub surface Open top floating roof tanks Rimseal area Back-up only 2 X 200 lpm for 30 mins N.A. 3.0 for 30 mins N.A. Fixed cone roof tanks Full surface area <10m dia 2.5 for 60 mins >10m + WM N.A. <45m dia 2.5 for 60 mins <60m dia 2.75 for 90 mins >60m dia 3.0 for 90 mins <45m dia 1.0 for 60 mins <60m dia 1.25 for 60 mins >60m dia 1.5 for 60 mins 1.0 for 60 mins

21 Foam water sprinkler / deluge Fuel < 25mm deep 3000 m 2 per zone 10 minutes foam supply

22 Marine loading / unloading docks 2 elevated monitors Ship-shore connections 4hr water supply 30 minute foam Under-dock

23 Aircraft hangars NFPA types detection Floor coverage-30 seconds 30 minutes water 10 mins foam + 100% Under/over wing monitors Overhead deluge + under-wing Hi-X m 3 /min/m 2

24 High Expansion Foam Class A risks - Cover fuel + 3m R=V/T x C N x C L With sprinklers not recommended

25 LPG/LNG HI-X expansion limited-500:1 Fire control / Vapour suppression 1 hr foam

26 Test & Inspection Piping flush + pressure test Proportioner test accuracy Distribution check coverage Weekly inspect valves 6 monthly test pumps + alarms 12 monthly test proportioner foam substitute? Test valves.

27 Status of EN13565 Part 2 Publication date 31 st August 2009

28 The cost of success is only exceeded by the cost of failure
