Reza, you should check with the appropriate fire and building codes. I suspect you will find it is not permitted to store both a flammable liquid and an oxidizer this way. This might be something you should back away from. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ed Vining 4819 John Muir Rd Martinez CA 94553 925-228-8792

Hi Friends, I want to design a fire protection system for a room which has 3 x 1500 gallon tanks of isopropyl alcohol and about 200 gallons of H2O2 30%. I know that isopropyl alcohol should be extinguished with ARC foam and I know that H2O2 is not flammable but in contact with fire releases oxygen which may intensify fire. In this room separating of isopropyl alcohol tanks with H2O2 gallons with a wall is Not possible, so in case of fire they may penetrate to each other. I have two theories: 1- I can design an ARC foam system for isopropyl alcohol tanks and a spray nozzle system for H2O2 gallons for cooling purpose, but in case of fire I am worry that spray nozzles splash water to isopropyl alcohol and spread fire. 2- I can design an ARC foam system for both isopropyl alcohol tanks and H2O2 gallons which I think is better than item one. What is your idea about the best fire protection system for this room? Many thanks for your kind help in advance. Thanks, Reza --------------------------------- Shape Yahoo! in your own image.
