Penilaian Risiko Kebakaran dan Evaluasi Kebutuhan APAR pada Industri Pakan Ternak Berdasarkan NFPA 10

Abstract

The feedmill industry is a vital and growing sector in Indonesia, yet it carries a significant fire risk due to flammable raw materials and the accumulation of combustible dust. Many companies still face challenges in implementing optimal fire protection systems, such as improper placement of fire extinguishers (APAR). This study aims to conduct a fire risk assessment, evaluate the existing active fire protection system, design improvement proposals according to standards, and analyze the feasibility of these recommendations at a feedmill manufacturing company. The methodology employed is a qualitative Fire Risk Assessment (FRA) based on NFPA 551 to identify and evaluate risks. The evaluation of active protection systems such as APAR was performed by comparing them against relevant standards such as NFPA 10, NFPA 14, and SNI. The feasibility of the proposed improvements was analyzed using the Benefit-Cost Analysis (BCA) method. The FRA results indicated that out of 48 assessed areas, 21 were at a moderate risk level and 3 were at a high risk level. The evaluation revealed that the existing APAR coverage was inadequate, failing to protect several critical points. Based on the analysis, improvement recommendations were formulated, including the addition and repositioning of APARs, as well as the design of detector to reduce the residual risk level.
