چکیده
Wildfire occurrence frequency is increasing worldwide, generating more and concern, especially in Wildland-Urban interfaces (WUI) Wildland-Industrial Interfaces (WII) areas. Wildfires approaching WII can cause severe damage to people industrial assets. In these scenarios, storage tanks present installations are among the most vulnerable pieces of equipment, since they usually located proximity plant boundary. If hazardous substances stored, tank caused by fire lead loss containment trigger technological accident escalating consequences. Preserving integrity this type equipment case wildfires paramount importance. The study proposes a stepwise methodology for evaluation safety distances between vegetation that may be affected wildfire. According available data on wildfire, lay-out likely affected, provides applied design fuel-reduced fringes around facility. proposed represents quantitative tool calculation guide managers assist regulators definition reliable standards. comparison resulting from with regulations guidelines currently use different countries rises concern about possible underestimation required wildfires.

متن کاملA New Conceptual Model for Quantitative Fire Risk Assessment of Oil Storage Tanks in the Tehran Refinery, Iran
The purpose of this research was to introduce and describe a model for Fire Quantitative Risk Assessment of in petroleum Storage Tanks. A novel model was designed to determine the risk of a fire occurrence using of Loss Causation and Swiss cheese models. Then, based on FTA, model and its integration with our initial proposed model, the final model was obtained for fire hazard determination in h...
