Publisher's Synopsis
This Code of Practice contains guidelines on fire precautions in oil refineries and bulk storage installations having an aggregate capacity exceeding 10,000 cubic metres. It outlines fire protection and detection, extinguishing systems and application rates. The guidance leads ultimately to the preparation of a comprehensive fire plan for a petroleum site, dealing with the selection of equipment, the provision of water foam, staff training and emergency procedures.;This Code supersedes the section on fire precautions contained in the Institute of Petroleum Marketing and Refining Codes of Practice, taking account of developments since those Codes were published in 1978 and 1981.
