Data Center Fuel Oil System Case Study – Dual Ethernet

The data center operator required fast construction of a fuel system to support 8 generators of 2MW capacity each.  The generators were located inside the building with 2 generators per room. (5) Bulk storage tanks are located outside aboveground and remote from the building.

The system is designed to allow a complete dual path fuel feed from the bulk storage tanks to the generators. The control system is a redundant ethernet system between controllers allowing for a minimum of control signal wiring.

The case study includes details for consulting engineers and contractors to facilitate improved system designs for critical facilities.  Details include:

• General Description of Fuel System
• Design and Construction Challenges
• Operation Sequence Summary
• System Flow Diagram P&ID
• Discussions of Special Operating Features
