The Use of Robotic Fire Extinguishing Systems in Oil Product Warehouses

This article discusses a robotic fire extinguishing system for providing protection in warehouses of oil and petroleum products. Currently, there is an active introduction and use of automatic fire extinguishing systems based on fire robots. Warehouses of oil and petroleum products require special attention to compliance with fire safety requirements, as well as improving the reliability and efficiency of functioning security systems. The robotic fire extinguishing system is capable of protecting tank farms depending on the required fire extinguishing parameters, which are calculated in accordance with regulatory documents as presented in this paper. The authors analyze the possibility of using a robotic fire extinguishing system and the required characteristics of the flow rate and pressure of extinguishing agent for a tank with a volume of 20 000 cubic meters.
