Previous work, described in earlier papers in this special edition of the Journal of Loss Prevention in the Process Industries, has shown that directed water deluge systems designed nominally to deliver the current recommended minimum rate of ca. 10 dm3 m-2 min-1 provide inadequate protection of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage vessels against jet fires. However, the results from this work also suggest that enhanced designs can be effective. This paper describes the work carried out by the Health and Safety Laboratory (HSL) to validate an improved deluge system with a propane jet-fire trial on a vessel containing LPG. Linkage of the surface water coverage to the fire protection provided and the requirements for a new standard on directed water deluge is also considered.
