The protection should extend to the full load bearing height of all structural members within a 50 ft (15 m) radius of the unloading station. Details of the installation should be determined in consultation with the local 1RI District Office. (Work begun during survey; to be completed by 9/11/89) c. AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS: Provide a deluge system to protect the ethyl acrylate unloading station and rail cars, and the flammable liquid transfer pumps designed to provide 0.35 gpm/ft^ (14.3 L/min/m^) over the protected area. Actuation to be by a fixed temperature and 50% of LEL flammable liquid vapor detection system. Detection and actuation circuits should be supervised.

If a turbine-type pump is used, a pressure relief valve should be installed as close to the pump discharge as possible. b. A detached noncombustible pump house heated as necessary to maintain it above 40F (4C) and equipped with emergency lighting. c. Connections to alarm contacts on the control panel for the engine-driven fire pump to provide supervisory signals including "pump running", "engine trouble", "engine controller in the OFF or MANUAL position" and "suction tank low level. These signals should be transmitted to the proprietary alarm,system. d. Connections to alarm contacts on the control panel for the electric motor-driven fire pump to provide supervisory signals including "pump running", "power failure", "phase reversal" and "suction tank level". These signals should be transmitted to the proprietary alarm system. e. A standard pump test header equipped with 6 hose valves. f. A connection to the deep well pump to automatically fill the tanks designed to provide a fill rate of 1050 gpm (3969 L/mln). g. An indoor, above ground diesel fuel tank with a capacity equal to 1.1 U.S. gal (4.2 L) per engine horsepower. h. Electric power line connected ahead of all plant disconnecting means and physically routed outside of buildings and away from major exposures. i An acceptable heater to maintain water temperature in tank above 40F (4C). j. Fire pump control panel(s) arranged for automatic start at 125 psi (8.6 bars) water pressure but for manual stop only. k. Six "Underwriters" playpipes with 1 1/8 in. (28.6 mm) and 1 3/4 in. (44.4 mm) tips for test purposes. sif/0722H 26409002 BFG50816 B.F. GOODRICH COMPANY 3 800083/727091 81-1 (Continued) l. Sectional control valves on both sides of the point of connection to the underground main. m. Rigid metal piping with flexible metal connections for the fuel supply and return lines from the fire pump engine to the fuel tank. n. An acceptance test should be conducted by the installing contractor in the presence of an IRI representative. This test should demonstrate that the pump will perform in accordance with the manufacturer's certified characteristic curve and that the driver, accessories and ancillary equipment are correctly arranged and in proper working order. o. A 6 in. (152 mm) pressure relief valve located between the pump and the pump discharge check valve, arranged to discharge into an open pipe, cone, or funnel secured to the outlet of the valve. 86-4 AUTOMATIC SPRINKLERS: Provide a deluge system to protect tanks 3-AA and 4-AA (Vinyl Chloride) designed to provide 0.35 gpm/sq. ft. over the protected area. Actuation to be by a rate-of-rise or flame detection system. Detection and actuation circuits should be supervised. Remote manual pull stations should be located at ground level on the west wall of Building No. 513.

GOODRICH COMPANY 5 800083/727091 SIGNIFICANT CHANGES A water damage loss involving the collapse of a section of the Building No. 547 roof occurred on July 5, 1989. Recommendation No. 89-3 has been placed on this report due to this loss. Building No. 512, the Mass Poly Process, has been shut down as of May, 1989. The building is idle, with process equipment and piping blanked off. There are no immediate plans for restart or dismantling. The sprinkler protection remains in service. Recommendation No. 88-3 has been removed as no longer applicable due to this shutdown. A plant power outage occurred during the summer and knocked out electricity for several hours. A study of the distribution system is being conducted to correct a relay coordination problem which may have been responsible. COMMENTS RSVP*: The completion of this recommendation will involve an impairment of your fire protection. Please notify the IRI's Philadelphia Office, 399 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106, (215) 925-5050 at least 48 hours before starting this work. PLANS**: Completion of this recommendation requires the review and acceptance of detailed working drawings and necessary supporting calculations. All fire protection equipment should be listed by a recognized testing laboratory. All installations should be designed in accordance with applicable NFPA Standards unless modified by an 1RI interpretation guide. Duplicate sets of drawings and specifications should be sent to IRI's Philadelphia Office, 399 Market Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 for review. IRI's acceptance should be secured before construction or installation begins. Capacity flow tests of the existing plant fire pumps were conducted during this survey. Satisfactory results were obtained for the electric fire pumps; however, the diesel driven pump or driver may require maintenance due to substandard results. A maintenace list has been sent to Mr. John Sovich under separate cover. 51F/0772H 26403005 BFG50819 RISK: B.F. Goodrich Co.
