Evaluating unit value, operational criticality, and potential community impact to decide where fixed protection is mandatory.

API RP 2030 provides guidance on the design, installation, and maintenance of fixed water spray systems. Unlike standard sprinklers found in commercial buildings, these systems are engineered for the high-intensity hydrocarbon fires typical of refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas processing facilities. Key Objectives of the Standard:

API RP 2030 is a recommended practice (RP) published by the American Petroleum Institute (API) that provides guidelines for the design, fabrication, and installation of suction gas compressors in petroleum and natural gas production operations.
