Fire Pump House
Fire Pump House
(OP)
We are going to design and install a fire pump house on a large poultry plant. The underground supply loops around the plant and ties into the city water with a backflow preventer.
I would like if possible to tie into that system and basically boost the whole facility which is supplied by multiple risers.
Is it possible to have my suction line tied into that loop and then discharge back into the loop?
Thanks,

1. The pump discharge psi should not exceed 175psi.
2. The city supply to the pump should be able to supply 150% rating of the pump and not let the city supply go below 20 psi.
3. How reliable is the electric supply, may need a Diesel engine for the pump.
4 I assume this is a dedicated fire service supply only. This will not work if it is also supplying production water.
See NFPA 20 for more details.
