Fire Risk Forecast and Early Warning Technology for Large Oil and Gas Storage & Transport Tank Areas

Abstract:

According to the characteristics of the storage and transportation working functions in large oil and gas storage tank areas, based on the analysis of equipments leakages, fires, explosion and other disaster scenes and accidents evolution model in the tank areas, the effect factors of the tanks area fire risk were studied. Combined with the analysis of key equipments and process fittings failure probabilities and tank fire-fighting equipments effectiveness, the fire and explosion accidents forecast analysis methods based on the dynamic monitoring technology were put forward. Through the analysis of the critical temperature, pressure, liquid level, gas concentration and other state parameters of the oil and gas storage tank equipments failure, using the advanced information technologies (GIS geographic information system, RS remote sensing and telemetry systems, etc.) and remote singles monitor technologies, the status parameters of dangerous materials and process equipments can be carried out with real time measurement and monitoring.
