Fire Safety & Extinguisher Safety TrainingPhillipLaraway
There are three things needed to start a fire: oxygen, fuel, and heat. Fires are classified based on the type of fuel: Class A is solids like wood; Class B is liquids like gasoline; Class C is electrical fires; Class D are metal-based fires. There are three main types of fire extinguishers - water, carbon dioxide, and dry chemical. Water extinguishers use water to remove heat; carbon dioxide removes oxygen; and dry chemical extinguishers coat the fuel to block oxygen. It's important to remember the PASS method when using an extinguisher - pull the pin, aim at the base of the fire, squeeze the handle, and sweep from side to side.
The document discusses fire safety, including the three elements of fire (fuel, heat, and oxygen), classes of fire (A-F), fire safety plans, employer responsibilities, fire control methods, types of fire extinguishers, steps to use a fire extinguisher, methods of extinguishing different fire classes, fire prevention methods, fire prevention programs including causes and activities, and fire prevention equipment like smoke detectors, heat detectors, flammable gas detectors, human detectors, alarm systems, sprinklers, and hose reel systems.

This document is a report on fireball formation and coal combustion in boilers by three students at Adani Power Maharashtra Limited. It discusses principles of combustion such as the oxidation of carbon, hydrogen, and sulfur when coal is burned. It provides details on coal specifications and analysis at the Tirora plant. The report examines the concepts of excess air, pulverization, and factors that can cause improper combustion. It also discusses the need for combustion optimization and analysis to improve efficiency and reduce pollutants.
This document discusses carbon footprints and carbon credits. It defines carbon footprints as the total greenhouse gas emissions for which an individual or organization is responsible, usually expressed in tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. It describes how to calculate a carbon footprint by quantifying sources of direct and indirect emissions. The document also explains carbon credits, which are certificates issued for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and how carbon credits can be traded to help organizations limit their emissions.
The document discusses class D fires, which involve burning metals. It is dangerous to use water on class D fires as the metals can react violently with water. Class D fire extinguishers use dry agents like sodium chloride salt or copper powder to smother the fire without generating more heat. Sodium chloride forms a crust to exclude oxygen while copper powder is effective on lithium and lithium alloy fires. Proper extinguishing agents must be selected based on the type of combustible metal involved in class D fires.
This document discusses pyrophoric iron fires, which occur when iron sulfide deposits inside refinery equipment are exposed to oxygen during maintenance. Iron sulfide forms as a corrosion product when iron oxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide. When iron sulfide is exposed to air, it rapidly oxidizes back to iron oxide in an exothermic reaction that generates enough heat to ignite nearby flammable gases. Distillation columns are most prone to these fires due to iron sulfide deposits accumulating on trays and packings. Proper cleaning of equipment before opening is needed to prevent pyrophoric iron oxidation from igniting combustible materials and causing fires or explosions during maintenance.

Iron sulfide forms as a corrosion product when iron oxide reacts with hydrogen sulfide. When iron sulfide is exposed to air, it rapidly oxidizes back to iron oxide in an exothermic reaction that generates enough heat to ignite nearby flammable gases. Distillation columns are most prone to these fires due to iron sulfide deposits accumulating on trays and packings. Proper cleaning of equipment before opening is needed to prevent pyrophoric iron oxidation from igniting combustible materials and causing fires or explosions during maintenance.

The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

7. INTRODUCTION
Fire is one of the major causes in the industrial area and there is increasing rates of fire
accidents which may kill the life of the people. The fire can cause due to three main
components such as Oxygen, Fuel and Heat is also known Fire triangle. When oxygen
supply is increased in the fire area the amount of fire burning rate increases so that heat can
be generated in huge amount. To suppress the fire one of the components must be removed.
The suitable fire extinguishers must be used to suppress the fire triangle so that fire can be
easily put off.
To suppress the fire on of the components such as oxygen, Fuel and Heat must be removed
so that burning rate of fire will be reduced. Fire alarm system is one of the essential needs
and must be installed in the building/factory where there are combustible materials present in
it. In case of fire, it is very useful to migrate and can be detected easily. Fire hydrants and fire
extinguisher must be installed where there is risk of fire. The suitable fire extinguishers must
be kept so that incase of fire it can be easily suppressed. Fire hydrants must be installed
outside to suppress the building of fire.

Fire Load Calculation
Estimation of combustible material of a building can be determined by three methods they
are:
Direct measurement of mass, with conversion based on the net heat of combustion
Direct measurement of volume (with conversion based on a combination of density
and net heat of combustion)
Energy release measurement by calorimetry of an item sufficiently
Fire load density is defined as the amount of heat liberated from a combustible material per
square meter in floor area. Fire load is to determine the severity and building up of fire. Fire
load is useful in determining the growth and severity of fires. The mass of the material is
calculated in kg. The calculated mass is multiplied by its calorific value in MJ/kg to get fire
load. The calculated value is then divided by area of the floor to give fire load density.
Fire load = (combustibles in kg) x calorific value in kcal-kg / Floor area in square
meters.
