Fire pumps in hazardous locations, such as chemical plants or oil refineries, must consider:
- Explosion-Proof Equipment: Use explosion-proof motors and electrical components to prevent ignition of flammable vapors.
- Corrosion Resistance: Select materials resistant to corrosive chemicals present in the environment.
- Specialized Seals: Use seals that can prevent leaks of hazardous substances.
- Compliance with Standards: Ensure compliance with relevant standards such as NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code) for hazardous locations.
