Abstract: Two kinds of fire protection can be provided in LNG plants: preplanned passive systems, and systems requiring automatic or manual action. Passive protection methods consist of impounding spills in diked areas, restricting ignition sources, insulating structural members, and locating equipment so as to prevent propagating failures. The active systems may include systems to apply fire fighting agents such as dry chemicals, high expansion foam, vaporizing liquids, and water sprays. The basic standard for fire protection for LNG facilities is NFPA 59A. The Department (Jf Transportation Materials Transportation Bureau has recently proposed regulations for fire protection under 49 CFR 193. Neither provides detailed design criteria for fire fighting systems, but both provide safety guidelines as well as the basic standards for construction and operation of the plant.
