Application of Fault Tree Analysis on Environmental Pollution Caused by Chemical Fire Overflow

Abstract:

With Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) method, the environmental pollution due to the chemical fire overflow is interpreted in terms of the causal and logical relations between various factors. The fault tree is established. And through the qualitative analysis by FTA, the minimal cut sets and the structure importance are determined. Consequently, the corresponding measures for reducing the occurrence of the top event are discussed.
