Hydrogen: 9-6

Please confirm that you are proposing to comply with the supply and siting requirements of the National Fire Protection Association, and provide specifics.

The hydrogen storage and supply system at CREC will be designed to meet requirements of NFPA 55 – Compressed Gases and Cryogenic Fluids Code. 

The cylinders and/or tube trailers will be located outdoors and away from normally occupied areas.  The location of the storage system will be based on guidelines set forth in NFPA 55 Table 10.4.2.2.1(a), Table 10.4.2.2.1(b), or Table 10.4.2.2.1(c).  The exact location will be determined as the plant arrangement is finalized and system specific design parameters are defined including the total volume of gas stored, the pressure at which the gas is stored, and the supply line size. 

Guidelines provided in NFPA Table G.2(a) will also be followed e.g. if the size of the hydrogen system is between 3,000 to 15,000 scf, the containers will be located as least 50-feet from occupied areas of the plant.
