In 2015, Data Sheet 7-14 underwent a major revision. The primary focus of the revision was to reduce reliance on prescriptive and sometime arbitrary guidelines in designing fire protection systems at chemical plants. Rather, renewed emphasis was placed on identifying potential release and fire/explosion scenarios and designing fire protection systems appropriate for the anticipated event. Additionally, safeguards to minimize the potential liquid or gas release volume are presented, such as accidental release control systems, as well as siting guidance and other methods to mitigate damage in the event of a release.
This talk will present a summary of the revised data sheet, in addition to insight into the intent of many of the data sheet's recommendations.
