Step 5: discussion of results and analysis
(1) displaying of result is analyzed: vaporous cloud explosion probability index that research on utilization pattern is obtained, affect consequence and risk indicator is summarized, concluded.
(2) risk indicator analysis
1) if risk class is medium or low, illustrate that safety curtain disclosure satisfy that risk control requirement substantially, no longer carry out the increase of risk control measure.
2) if risk class is high or higher, illustrate that safety curtain fails to reach the target of risk control, it is necessary to carry out perfect.
If 1. probability level controls better, to make the occurrence frequency of accident be in below low frequency, and consequence is more serious, it is necessary to carry out perfect from reducing damage sequence aspect to safety curtain aspect, to the degree of risk of reduction accident;
If 2. consequence impact is not very serious, and the controlling extent of probability level is relatively low, it is necessary to improve safety curtain from reducing accident probability aspect, to reducing the probability that vaporous cloud blast occurs.
If 3. probability level, risk severity are all higher, it is necessary to control from probability and damage sequence controls two aspects and improves safety curtain, to reduce the probability of happening of accident, to alleviate the consequence of accident, reduce risk.
(3) it is no matter meet requirement or the situation of backlog demand is required for measure that original and newly-increased safety curtain proposes safeguard in risk.
It is analyzed for certain petro-chemical corporation's high density polyethylene (HDPE) reactor.
Step 1: the introduction of object of study and risk analysis
(1) object of study introduction
Primary raw material in reactor is ethylene, reserves 15t.Reactor is positioned at high density polyethylene device district, and the sensitizing range of periphery is intermediate tank farm, LDPE Plant, polypropylene plant, solid storehouse.Wherein solid storehouse due to handling requirement personnel more, for personnel's close quarters.Above-mentioned zone and distance respectively 50m, 37m, 45m, 40m of analyzing object.
(2) risk analysis
Analyze the probability of this storage tank generation vaporous cloud explosion hazard accident from physical hazard characteristic, source of leaks, 3 necessary factors of incendiary source, predict the formation of explosion accident on this basis.
1) factorial analysis
Material natrual danger: ethylene is 2.1 class inflammable gases, flash-point-135 DEG C, explosion limit 2.7-36%, is mixed to form explosive mixture with air, meets naked light, Gao Re or has the danger of combustion explosion with oxidising agent
Source of leaks is analyzed: can reveal in the flowing of material, conveying, course of reaction, and the form of leakage has valve leaks, and reactor break, crack are revealed, and flange, valve, interface are revealed, the leakage that line break, the inefficacy of burn into pipeline welding place cause.
Incendiary source is analyzed: incendiary source is one of principal element of causing vaporous cloud explosion accident to occur, the incendiary source existed in this region mainly has: naked light, friction and shock, electricity burning things which may cause a fire disaster, electrostatic spark, when electrostatic grounding or lead except measure bad more increase the frequency that explosion accident occurs.
2) accident forming process is analyzed
The indispensable element forecast analysis object formed from vaporous cloud explosion accident has the possibility forming vaporous cloud blast, the formation of lower surface analysis accident:
The ethylene stored is the liquid gas of pressurization, has inflammable and explosive characteristic.When the leakage point generation instantaneous leak of reactor, liquefied gas is known from experience gasification rapidly and is formed steam, causes that steam acutely spreads and fills the air formation premix cloud cluster;When reactor leakage point occurs to continue to leak, gasifying gas is through diffuseing to form premix cloud.Owing to this reaction is successive reaction, if cutting off material not in time can cause a large amount of leakages of material, and in device district, equipment is arranged intensive, once occur leak materials to be easy to assemble, bigger cloud cluster can be formed, meanwhile, be subject to the severe degree of the impact very easily furniture blast of barrier.After the premix cloud formed reaches explosion limit experience late ignition, such as frictional impact spark, electric spark, be struck by lightning spark, fricative electrostatic spark etc. during fast leak, and vaporous cloud blast occurs.
Step 2: under safety curtain effect, vaporous cloud explosion probability is analyzed
(1) structure of preliminary bowknot structure chart
Choosing " the reactor Large Area Cracking " that may result in the blast of bigger vaporous cloud is top event, by event tree, event tree analysis, finds out the reason that top event occurs and the consequence caused, tentatively sets up bowknot structure chart, such as Fig. 2.
(2) safety curtain identification and performance evaluation
The function of the safety curtain that enterprise takes, active position, performance evaluation are in Table 7.
Table 7 safety curtain and performance analysis
(3) probability level calculates
Setting up complete bowknot structure chart as shown in Figure 3, cause that the primary event of " reactor Large Area Cracking " and probability are in Table 8, are calculated by bowknot structure chart, top event probability is 4.1 × 10-7In/year, vaporous cloud explosion probability is 6.2 × 10-8/ year.

Step 3: vaporous cloud blast consequences analysis
The type that reactor is revealed is Large Area Cracking, it is assumed that during cracking, material leaks completely, and the material revealed is gasified totally as the fuel in vaporous cloud.According to TNT equivalent model, during reactor Large Area Cracking, the TNT equivalent of ethylene gas is: WTNT=9021.6kg, and the superpressure that vaporous cloud blast produces is destroyed in Table 9.
Harm that table 9 superpressure causes and destruction
Step 4: risk analysis
Based on probability and the sequence severity of vaporous cloud blast, the risk class in each region is in Table 10.
Table 10 accident risk grade
Step 5: discussion of results and analysis
(1) frequency exploded by vaporous cloud under the known safety curtain effect of risk analysis is 6.2 × 10-8In/year, the injury severity that the intermediate tank farm at 50m, 37m, 45m, 40m place, low close device, polypropylene plant, solid storehouse are caused is respectively serious, fatal, fatal, fatal, and risk class corresponding to each region is medium.Effect due to safety curtain so that the probability of vaporous cloud blast is reduced to 10-6Below/year the order of magnitude, even if each Regional Risk severity is higher, integrated risk is still in " medium " acceptable level, so safety curtain need not further be arranged.
(2) in order to ensure the reliability service of existing safety curtain, by risk control in this level or following, it is necessary to safety curtain is carried out regular management.Safety curtain for equipment class should be equipped with professional personnel, regular expansion checking maintenance.For the safety curtain of personnel's class, not only need regular, training education targetedly, in addition it is also necessary to result of training is examined.For identify class safety curtain, regular inspection guarantee mark complete, accurate, eye-catching and with this region mate correctness.
The reserves of material make more greatly the consequence impact suffered by sensitizing range serious.But it is because the requirement of production capacity, this severity degree is inevitable, so just should slow down the impact of consequence from Material control aspect, in equipment checking maintenance process, more to pay attention to material termination, emergency cut-off, signal control etc. being monitored, cutting off the guarantee of the reliability of equipment.
