Fire Prevention and Firefighting in Petroleum Processing
Because refineries handle large quantities of highly combustible materials, fire and explosion are constant risks that must be managed. Refineries are designed to minimize the risks through proper specifications and fire prevention measures by design. Should a fire occur, however, a facility has extensive firefighting capabilities, including fixed and portable firefighting equipment, extinguishers, and an Incident Command System (ICS). These systems help in response to other incidents, such as releases and medical emergencies as well. This chapter addresses these issues, from design through operations.
