6 FAQs about [Hydrogen energy storage for firefighting]
What is fire safety in a hydrogen processing facility?
The overall fire safety in a hydrogen processing facility can be viewed as different layers of protection; starting with the process design, followed by control systems, prevention and mitigation measures, facility emergency response, and the fire departments emergency response being the last layer of protection. (SFS 3353:2019, 2019, p.
Does a hydrogen tank need a fire suppression system?
Facilities with tanks containing more than 500m3 of hydrogen must have fireproofing or a fixed fire suppression system. Sufficient amount of water for extinguishing purposes, both for the facilities own fire suppression systems as well as the fire departments need, must be ensured.
How can hydrogen and fire safety be controlled?
By understanding these fundamental principles related to hydrogen and fire safety, it is possible to control these properties and mitigate the hazards through various design and technical solutions. Leak detection in combination with appropriate ventilation can be considered one of the most important safety measures, and the first line of defence.
Does a hydrogen facility need a fire curve?
The fire load of every fire compartment must always be assessed separately. When designing a hydrogen facility, the risk of jet fire must always be considered; hence, assumed fire development based on the standard UL 1709 fire curve (chapter 4, figure 16/equation 16) is recommended for jet fire situations in addition to the hydrocarbon fire curve.
How long can hydrogen piping withstand fire?
In areas of elevated fire hazard, such as process areas, various piping that is used for transporting hydrogen along with associated load bearing structures must be protected to withstand fire for at least 90 minutes or have sufficient fire resistance according to assumed fire scenario.
How should a hydrogen fire be handled?
As previously mentioned, a hydrogen fire should mainly be handled by letting it burn under controlled conditions until the hydrogen flow is stopped. In some cases, extinguishing a hydrogen fire can lead to the forming of dangerous combustible mixture that might re-ignite, and result in an explosion.
