If the materials are known and the protection requirements are clear in NFPA standards I would be comfortable designing and specifying the system. I do have a different background than most NICET designers but I'm not a PE just M SFPE and HPR guy.

Can you live without them? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Davidson Sent: Friday, December 09, 2011 10:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Good one for a Friday Robert, Before we can answer you need to find out type of crude, some crude oil can be considered extremely toxic because of trapped gases within the crude, other crude can be extremely light with light hydrocarbon components, someone (EOR of owner) needs to tell you what the products is and I would start with Foam or AFFF systems not water. Before you start design have the owner's EOR get the details to you so you can make an informed decision on the design of the system. Also reminder to document what you find and how you developed you design criteria and have the owner and his EOR sign off on it. Have a fire safe Holiday season!!
