Investigating the Economic Consequences of Fire and Explosion Domino Phenomenon in Oil Refinery Storage Tanks
ABSTRACT Background and aims: Identifying the costs of accidents and modeling them can encourage industries to build safety systems. Oil derivatives storage tanks are among the most important industrial facilities that are always effective in domino effects in the oil industry. Therefore, the present study investigated the economic consequences of the fire and explosion domino phenomenon in oi...
متن کاملBuckling of Aboveground Storage Tanks with Conical Roof
The buckling of aboveground circular steel tanks with conical roof is considered in this paper. The specific source of loads investigated is wind action during hurricane storms in the Caribbean islands. The structure is modeled using a finite element discretization with the computer package ALGOR. Bifurcation buckling of the shell is computed for a given static wind pressure distribution. Then ...
متن کاملVapor cloud explosion analysis of onshore petrochemical facilities
The paper describes an approach to predicting gas explosion loads and response which has been developed for offshore installations and which only recently has been adapted to onshore petrochemical facilities. The paper consists of three parts: Part 1: An overview of vapour cloud explosion hazards in petrochemical onshore facilities and a discussion of modeling approaches. Part 2: A probabilisti...
متن کاملFire and explosion risk assessment in a chemical company by the application of DOW fire and explosion index
Background: Fire and explosion hazards are extremely important in processing units. This study was performed to identify the risk centers, the potential damage caused by fire and explosion, and the days of production cessation in the processing company. Materials and Methods: The present qualitative case study was conducted using Dow’s index in 2015. The fire and explosion hazard index...
متن کاملInsights from the Risk Analysis of a Nearby Propane Tank Farm
Due to the flammability and explosion characteristics of the propane vapor cloud, a nearby propane tank farm could possibly present a significant risk to the operation of nuclear power plants. Accidental releases of propane may occur in the propane supply pipeline, at the propane storage tanks, or on the propane transportation routes due to propane transport trailer truck accidents. Loss of con...
