Perancangan Fire Suppression System Pada Ruang Kontrol Panel Pabrik Kimia

Abstract

This research is motivated by the high incidence of fires due to electrical failures in Indonesia, particularly in the
observed chemical manufacturing plant's electrical control room, which has a significant fire risk due to sensitive
electronic devices with high fire potential, thus requiring an effective extinguishing system. The purpose of this
study is to compare the design of fire suppression systems using CO2 and FM200 and to analyze the budget
required for the system's design. The methods used in this research include designing a fire suppression system
with the Total Flooding for Deep Seated Fire method, as well as calculating material and manpower requirements.
The results show that both extinguishing agents (CO2 and FM200) can extinguish Class A, B, and C fires, but
differ in Global Warming Potential (GWP) and atmospheric lifetime, with FM200 having a higher GWP. The mass
requirement for CO2 is 763.0875 Kg, and for FM200, it is 44.9334 Kg. Simulation results show that FM200
extinguishes fire faster (3 seconds) compared to CO2 (4 seconds) for the same case. The total estimated material
and installation costs for FM200 are Rp94,006,869.00, while for CO2, it is Rp91,518,758.00. This research is
expected to provide optimal solutions for fire risk control in plant electrical control rooms from both technical
and economic perspectives.
