Dear All,
My Client is planning to install 40m3 vertical ng operated boiler, 2 units of storage tank where each has 3000 litre capacity for oil storage.
As per the nfpa with which design number must we follow for.designing such boiler room? Aside from that is it compulsory to have foam based extinguishing system ( if so nfpa reference please)or can we simply rely on esfr sprinkler types.
In order to avoid any explosion damage local fd requests the blast resistant wall to be constructed along the adjacent edges of boiler room with existing building. As a result to do that Structural engineers requires the lateral blast energy in terms of kN/m2 on walls roofing foundation which serve as basis for design of those structural elements. How am I supposed to that ?
Your guidance will be appreciated
