RE: Rack protection
If you have never prepared a sprinkler design for the protection of high piled combustible storage, you should seek engineering assistance.
You say this is for a Coca Cola plant? The folks at Coca Cola in Atlanta have engineers on staff who can help you. If they don't, their are plenty of very competent fire protection engineers in Atlanta who can assist in such a design.

This is not the place to ask big multi variable questions
