Refinery Fire Protection Systems Supplier — India
Authorised HD Fire Protect distributor — deluge, foam, hydrant, sprinkler systems and fire pumps for HPCL, BPCL, ONGC, IOCL, MRPL, CPCL, NRL refineries — combined with OISD-compliant industrial lubricant supply for refinery rotating equipment. OISD-STD-116, NFPA, IS-compliant equipment with full tender documentation.
Why Refineries Choose Vasundhara + HD Fire Protect
Refinery fire protection is the highest-stakes safety system in any industrial facility. A single tank-farm fire can cause hundreds of crores in damage, weeks of production loss, environmental impact, and personal injury. Indian refineries — operated by HPCL, BPCL, IOCL, ONGC, Reliance, MRPL, CPCL, NRL — invest heavily in OISD-STD-116 / 117 compliant fire protection: deluge systems above process units, foam systems on tank farms, hydrant networks across the plot, sprinkler protection in control rooms and substations, fire monitors at strategic locations, and dedicated fire pump houses with electric, diesel and jockey pumps.
Vasundhara Performance Solutions is the authorised distributor of HD Fire Protect — one of India's leading manufacturers of refinery and petrochemical fire protection equipment, on the approved-vendor list of all major Indian oil and gas PSUs. Beyond fire equipment supply, we also provide OISD-compliant industrial lubricants for refinery rotating equipment — turbine oils, hydraulic fluids, gear oils, fire-resistant fluids, EP greases — through our authorised brand portfolio (Veedol, GS Caltex, Balmer Lawrie, plus Castrol Industrial via group company Vasundhara Specialities). One vendor, two complementary product streams, single-window technical support and tender documentation.

Which Indian refineries do you supply fire protection equipment to?
Through HD Fire Protect's product portfolio and our distribution network, we supply refineries and petrochemical facilities across India including HPCL Visakhapatnam (Andhra Pradesh's largest PSU refinery), BPCL Kakinada, ONGC offshore platforms (KGD6 basin), IOCL Paradip, IOCL Vadodara, MRPL Mangalore, CPCL Manali, NRL Numaligarh, and various pipeline corporations. Our regional service area focuses on the AP-Telangana refinery corridor (Visakhapatnam-Kakinada-Vijayawada) with pan-India project supply via group network.
What standards govern refinery fire protection systems in India?
Indian refinery fire protection follows multiple standards layered together: OISD-STD-116 (Fire Protection Facilities for Petroleum Refineries and Oil/Gas Processing Plants), OISD-STD-117 (Fire Protection Facilities for Petroleum Depots and Terminals), NBC 2016 (National Building Code, fire safety chapter), NFPA 11 (Foam Systems), NFPA 13 (Sprinkler Systems), NFPA 14 (Standpipe and Hose), NFPA 15 (Water Spray Fixed Systems), NFPA 20 (Stationary Pumps), and IS 13039 / IS 12349 / IS 884 for hydrant components. We supply HD Fire Protect equipment certified to all relevant standards with documentation for OISD audit and PSU tender qualification.
What types of foam systems are used in refinery applications?
Refinery foam systems are categorized by expansion ratio: low-expansion (up to 20:1) for crude oil and product tank fires, medium-expansion (20-200:1) for confined-space and bunded tank-farm protection, and high-expansion (200-1000:1) for hangar / warehouse / aircraft fuelling fires. Common foam types: AFFF (aqueous film-forming foam) for hydrocarbon fuel fires, AR-AFFF (alcohol-resistant) for polar solvents, FFFP (film-forming fluoroprotein), and protein foam. We supply HD Fire Protect foam concentrate (3% and 6% concentrations), foam proportioners, foam chambers, and tank-rim seal foam systems with OEM-supported design assistance.
Do you also supply lubricants for refinery rotating equipment?
Yes — and many refineries find it useful to consolidate fire protection equipment supply and industrial lubricant supply through a single authorised distributor. We supply OISD-compliant industrial lubricants for refinery rotating equipment: turbine oils for steam-turbine generators, hydraulic oils for control valve actuators, gear oils for transfer pumps, EP greases for crusher and conveyor bearings (in coke-handling areas), fire-resistant hydraulic fluids (HFC, HFD-R) for high-fire-risk hydraulic systems, and IS-335 transformer oils for substation transformers.
