Containerized Fire Water Pump Sets with Submersible Lift Pumps

Project description

Finnart Oil Terminal is an oil depot with extensive oil storage tanks built into the hillside. It has piers extending a short distance into the loch, providing a deep water berth for oil tankers. The terminal is located on the west coast of Scotland and is connected by two pipelines across the width of Scotland to the Grangemouth Refinery on the east coast.

The existing fire fighting system had to be upgraded, for which Hydrodiesel delivered a custom-built containerized solution. The challenge in this project was the large distance between open water and location of the enclosure housing the main fire water pumps.

Hydrodiesel has developed a diesel-hydraulic solution where submerged hydraulic driven lift pumps feed the fire water to the diesel driven main pumps, which in turn supply the fire water downstream to the fire ring main.
