This recommended guideline API RP 2001:2019+ADD 1:2024 aims to enhance comprehension of refinery fire safety and outlines the necessary measures for ensuring the secure storage, handling, and processing of petroleum and its derivatives within refineries. The core principle underpinning this standard is the belief that fire prevention forms the essential groundwork for effective fire protection. The document delves into fundamental aspects of fire prevention and protection in refineries, including an analysis of the chemical and physical properties of refinery fires. It examines how the design of refinery systems and facilities can influence the likelihood and severity of potential fires, and discusses the standard fire control and extinguishing systems commonly employed in such environments. Additionally, it evaluates the fire protection aspects that should be integrated into operational and maintenance protocols, and offers insights into the organization and training of emergency response teams at refineries. The concepts, systems, and equipment mentioned are further elaborated upon in the referenced literature, standards, and regulatory mandates.
