Hi Folks,
I am trying to figure what fire suppression system will be required for pump station building, 500-1500 sq. m covered area without water supplies (manned/unmanned), housing 4-6 crude oil pumps. NFPA 30, ch 18 - flammable and combustible liquid handling and transfer, seems very close to apply but then it directs to use ch 6 for fire suppression system. Not sure which system is best suitable for this type of building with reference to NFPA or NFC standard?
Any thoughts?

What happens if the pump station is destroyed by fire? How many dollars/hour will that cost your client or company? What hazard assessment has been performed on the pumped crude oil to determine the potential consequences?
