Abstract

The fire protection of storage tanks of vegetable oil hasn't been designed with complete theory in our country yet. The storage tanks of vegetable oil have little potential fire and relatively little harmful hazard, and low requirement of design. Nevertheless, the fire-fighting requirements are very stringent. This paper give innovative proposition to the design for fire protection of vegetable oil in tanks, and it is decided not to adopt the fire-fighting cooling water system. Accorded to the characteristic of the vegetable oil itself, it is put forward designing parameter of foam fire-fighting system about fire protection designing of tanks of vegetable oil, which belongs to class C flammable liquid, compared with fire-fighting designing requirement of class A, class B flammable liquid.
