A couple of quick thoughts from my perspective. 1. If the firewater at the facility is not monitored or using it for any other purpose would essentially be stealing. 2. You are cross connecting two different water systems. I would make sure that you follow all proper cross connection requirements put in place by the local water purveyor accordance with NFPA and the a ASSE. 3. You will have to have something in place to stop the flow of water to the process piping upon activation of the fire sprinkler system. Another option would be to determine the maximum GPM required by the process piping and account for it in your hydraulic calculations for the sprinkler system.
