An Intensive 5-day Training Course
Firefighting System Design & Review for Oil and Gas Industry
Master Firefighting System Design for High-Risk Oil & Gas Environments
CLASSROOM DATES
INTRODUCTION
The Firefighting System Design Course for the oil and gas industry delivers essential knowledge and technical skills for designing and reviewing fire protection systems in high-risk environments. Refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas processing facilities contain flammable fluids and gases, which significantly elevate fire hazards. This makes the implementation of reliable fire protection systems a critical safety requirement.
This Firefighting System Design Training Course emphasizes the application of industry standards such as those from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Shell Design Engineering Practices (DEP). Participants will explore fire hazard analysis, system layout, hydraulic calculations, and maintenance protocols to ensure comprehensive fire risk management.
The course integrates theoretical principles with real-world design scenarios, ensuring participants acquire practical competence in developing, evaluating, and improving fire protection systems tailored specifically to the operational demands of oil and gas installations.
Key highlights of this fire protection system design course include:
- Design fundamentals and hydraulic calculations for firefighting systems
- Fire safety assessment methods and hazard identification
- Fire water system sizing and flow rate optimization
- Inspection, testing, and maintenance of fire protection components
- Techniques for reviewing and enhancing system design compliance
TRAINING OBJECTIVES
By the end of this Firefighting System Design Training Course, participants will be able to:
- Understand fire protection system design principles specific to oil and gas facilities, aligned with NFPA and Shell DEP standards
- Conduct fire safety assessments and apply rating system calculations
- Design and evaluate fire water systems, including deluge and sprinkler networks
- Execute inspection, testing, and maintenance protocols to ensure system reliability
- Review existing firefighting system designs and recommend performance improvements
