Gas storage tank explosion

What happens if a gas tank explodes?

A gas tank is an important storage facility in chemical enterprises. When an explosion occurs, it can easily cause mass injury and death. This paper takes a 50,000 m 3 gas tank as an example to analyze the consequences of an accident.

What are the risks of a gas tank explosion?

Personal and social risks of a gas tank explosion are identified. Guide practices and effectively prevent the occurrence of similar accidents. A gas tank is an important storage facility in chemical enterprises. When an explosion occurs, it can easily cause mass injury and death.

What happens if a hydrogen gas tank explodes?

Although it has many benefits, the accident of hydrogen gas tank explosion can cause massive infrastructure damage and loss of living beings. Hydrogen used in fuel cells is a very flammable gas and can cause fires and explosions if it is not handled correctly.

How to assess environmental risk associated with fire and explosion of gasoline storage tanks?

The present study provides a framework for assessing the environmental risk associated with fire and explosion of gasoline storage tanks in oil depots. The proposed framework includes three main steps: problem formulation, risk analysis, and risk description. The necessary basic details were identified and collected in formulating the problem.

How to analyze the consequences of a gas tank explosion?

This paper takes a 50,000 m 3 gas tank as an example to analyze the consequences of an accident. First, a TNT-equivalent explosion model, quantitative risk analysis and FLACS software are used to quantitatively analyze the explosion consequences. The range of casualties caused by the vapor cloud explosion is obtained.

What are the stressors of fire and explosion of gasoline storage tanks?

The stressors of fire and explosion of gasoline storage tanks may result from (1) ignition and thermal radiation, (2) toxic cloud dispersion, (3) liquid flow, and (4) increased level of noise and vibration . 2.2.2. Pathway
