Fire fighting management is important for petroleum product storage facilities due to the flammable nature of petroleum. Proper classification of petroleum products based on flash point is needed. Facilities require fire protection systems like water, foam, detectors and mobile equipment. Training and emergency plans are needed along with regular inspection and testing of fire equipment to ensure preparedness. Communication systems and mutual aid agreements with other facilities help in emergencies.

13. Auto-ignition Temperature

15. Flash PointFire Fighting Management for Petroleum ProductsINTRODUCTIONFlammability Limits: The upper (rich) and lower (lean) flammability limits define the range of concentrations of a gas or vapour in air that can be ignited and sustain combustion.

16. Auto-ignition Temperature: A fuel - air mixture can ignite without the introduction of an ignition source. The minimum auto-ignition temperature is the lowest temperature at which the fuel vapours spontaneously ignite.

17. Minimum Ignition Energy: The minimum amount of energy supplied that is needed for combustion is the minimum ignition energy.

18. Flash Point: It is the lowest temperature at which any petroleum product yields a vapor which will give a momentary flash when Ignited.Fire Fighting Management for Petroleum ProductsGENERAL CLASSIFICATION of petroleum products:flash pointPetroleum Class A <23o CPetroleum Class B 23o C – 65o CPetroleum Class C 65o C -- 93o C
