OBJECT
The aim of this document is to define the requirements for the design, engineering and manufacturing of
the Fire Protection System for solar field, Molten Salts (MS) area and Tower located in NOORo III.
This document is the basic input for Sepco III to develop their own documentation for Request for Quotation
of the Fire Protection System.
The content of this document does not exempt Sepco III of the fully fulfilment of contractual documents of
the project (Minimum Functional Specification by Masen, Owners Technical Specification by Acwa,
Technical Offer, SESIA, etc), which will prevail over this.

protection water
Fire pumps from adjacent areas
Warehouses from adjacent areas
Emergency generators from each other and from adjacent areas
Office buildings from adjacent areas
Telecommunication rooms from adjacent areas
3.1
Classification of Occupancy and Hazard of Contents
According to NFPA 101, the occupancy of a building or structure, or portion of a building or structure, will
be classified in accordance with 6.1.2 through 6.1.13.
Industrial Occupancy. An occupancy in which products are manufactured or in which processing,

assembling, mixing, packaging, finishing, decorating, or repair operations are conducted, including
power plants.
Business Occupancy. Occupancy used for the transaction of business other than mercantile.
Storage Occupancy. An occupancy used primarily for the storage or sheltering of goods, merchandise,
products, or vehicles.
The hazard of contents of any building or structure will be classified as low, ordinary, or high in accordance
with NFPA 101: 6.2.2.2, 6.2.2.3, and 6.2.2.4.
Low Hazard. Low hazard contents will be classified as those of such low combustibility that no selfpropagating fire therein can occur.
Ordinary Hazard. Ordinary hazard contents will be classified as those that are likely to burn with
moderate rapidity or to give off a considerable volume of smoke.
High Hazard. High hazard contents will be classified as those that are likely to burn with extreme
rapidity or from which explosions are likely.

Wherever the use of Class C interior wall and ceiling finish is required, Class A or Class B shall be permitted.
Where Class B interior wall and ceiling finish is required, Class A shall be permitted.
3.4
Smoke Vents
Smoke venting should be provided for areas identified by the Fire Protection Design Basis. Where smoke
venting is provided, smoke should be vented from its place of origin in a manner that does not interfere
with the operation of the plant.
Consideration should be given to smoke venting for the following areas: control room, cable spreading
room(s), switchgear room, and sensitive electronic equipment rooms.
In the areas with gaseous fire extinguishing systems, the smoke ventilation system will be properly

would adversely affect the performance of the fire extinguishing system or result in propagation of the fire.
Fire detection signal will be provided to the HVAC control panel (included in the scope of supply of the fire
protection system).
The type of nozzles selected, their number, and their placement shall be such that the design concentration
will be established in all parts of the hazard enclosure and such that the discharge will not unduly splash
flammable liquids or create dust clouds that could extend the fire, create an explosion, or otherwise
adversely affect the contents or integrity of the enclosure.
