Fire and explosion risk assessment and consequence modeling for hazardous storage facilities is of great importance, taking into account the potential hazards for the local population and surrounding assets. In this case, consequence modeling aims the estimation of numerical values or the graphical representation which describe the physical outcomes of various accident scenarios involving a LPG filling station located in an urban area, with respect to their impact on people or assets. In case of LPG filling tanks may occur malfunctions, thus generating leakages which may escape into the atmosphere, may burn as jet fire or the tank may even explode and generate the fireball burning of the LPG (boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion - BLEVE). Moreover, the proximity of LPG filling stations to populated areas may magnify the potential damage. Prescriptive regulations in force govern the design, execution and exploitation of LPG filling stations. In this paper, various emergency situations which may occur in case of a LPG filling station are modeled and simulated using specialized software. Also, there are analyzed the safety measures from regulations in force concerning the location of such units in urban areas and the safety distances set in the regulations are compared to the ones generated using software tools, leading to measures proposed for limiting the effects of the studied phenomena.
