    CO2 Snuffing

    Uploaded by

    Fadhila Ahmad Anindria
    This document summarizes the calculations to determine the carbon dioxide (CO2) snuffing rate required to extinguish a gas flow. It determines that the total gas flow rate to be relieved is 0.2904 MMscfd. Using the minimum CO2 concentration and snuffing time requirements, it calculates the required CO2 snuffing rate as 0.2694 lb/s. With a CO2 bottle capacity of 50 lbs, it determines that 1 bottle is sufficient to provide the required 8.082 lbs of CO2 for a 30 second snuffing time.

    CO2 Snuffing

    Gas relieved (Qg) = 0.264 MMscfd (Note 1)


    Over design 10% = 0.0264 MMscfd
    Total gas relieved = 0.2904 MMscfd

    Minimum design CO2 concentration = 34 % (table 5-3.2.2 NFPA-12 Carbon Dioxide Extinguisment System)
    for extinguishment (Y)
    Snuffing time = 30 s (NFPA-12 Section 6.3.3.1)

    CO2 snuffing rate (QCO2) = (Y%*Qg) / (100%-Y%)


    = 0.5152 Qg
    = 0.1496 MMscfd
    = 1.7315 scf/s

    Gas formula = P.V = Z.n.R.T


    Standard condition
    Pressure = 14.7 psia
    Temperature = 545.67 R
    R = 10.73
    Molecular weight = 44
    Z factor = 0.994
    CO2 mass rate = (P.V.MW CO2) / (Z.R.T)
    = 0.1924 lb/s
    Capacity design factor = 140 % (NFPA-12 Appendix A Section A-6.3.1.1)
    Required CO2 snuffing rate = 0.2694 lb/s
    for 30 s snuffing = 8.082 lb

    Total CO2 Snuffing Rate


    For 30 s snuffing = 8.082 lb
    CO2 capacity per bottle = 50 lb
    CO2 bottles number = 1 lb

    Notes
    1 The snuffing facility shall be sized to extinguish the stack at least three times in succession when it is burning and discharging at a
    rate corresponding to one percent of maximum vent rate (Refer to Process Design Basis SNO-R-DB-54-001)
