Hello.
In a power plant with water fire system fed by gravity tank (no fire pump).
The hydrants are also used for washing operations mainly washing down cooling towers (they need a good stream to remove algae, mineral deposits, etc.), fire system is great for this.
Water source is reliable and big (much bigger than fire scenario, more than 1000m3, static 170psi, dynamic 800gpm@150psi).
We need to discuss with fire authority to allow us to share fire system with other operations. Are there paragraphs on NFPA to support this?
Thanks in advance.
