Severity Impact of a Vapour Cloud Explosion (VCE) – Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Road Tanker Accident
نویسندگان
چکیده
An explosion accident from a road tanker while carrying hazardous materials can have dangerous effect on users and the surrounding area through which passes. Based evidence of case involving reported, it shows that this cause death destruction to property. In Malaysia, several cases accidents tankers also occurred. Among methods used determine impact is use consequences analysis method. Currently, there limited number software be carries explosive chemicals such as butadiene, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), etc. However, are weaknesses in display results plotted map. Where only shown 3 main zones, namely building damage, serious injury, glass breakage. paper, enhanced contour profile method an LPG human structural damage shown.

A Consequence Analysis of the Explosion of Spherical Tanks Containing Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
A consequence analysis was performed in one of the gas refineries in Iran to investigate the risks andpotential losses resulted from accidents. Specifically, the consequences of an explosion in LPGspherical tanks were modeled using PHAST and MATLAB software. In this paper, three methods ofcalculation of PHAST software TNT, multi-energy, and BST were used. The results showed th...
متن کاملMinimising Uncertainty in Vapour Cloud Explosion Modelling
There have been significant advances in consequence modelling of releases of hazardous materials in the last decade, but the use of simple models for predicting overpressures from vapour cloud explosions (VCEs) continues to elude safety practitioners. The TNO multi-energy model has generally been regarded as the best model available to date, for a rapid assessment of explosion overpressures and...
متن کاملPrevalence and risk factors of noise-induced hearing loss among liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinder infusion workers in Taiwan.
We assessed the exposure levels of noise, estimated prevalence, and identify risk factors of noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) among male workers with a cross-sectional study in a liquefied petroleum gas cylinder infusion factory in Taipei City. Male in-field workers exposed to noise and administrative controls were enrolled in 2006 and 2007. Face-to-face interviews were applied for demographic...
