The article is devoted to the analysis of emergency management methods in storage tanks of crude oil and petroleum products in the territory of Ukraine. The peculiarities of reservoir operation, possible emergencies in reservoir parks, the nature of the destruction of reservoirs during the explosion of the air–vapor mixture, and the process of petroleum products combustion in them are considered. Methods of fire localization and extinguishing in oil and oil-product reservoirs are investigated. Their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. The feasibility of using a “sublayer” method of fire extinguishing in liquid reservoirs has been determined. This method has significant advantages over traditional methods of ceasing combustion. The modernized installation of “sublayer” fire extinguishing with the use of self-powered foam pipeline for the submission of foam under the product layer, which, in comparison with other methods of fire extinguishing, allows to guarantee a high fire safety level and personnel security of fire and rescue units involved in the fire elimination. The practical significance of the analytical studies is formulated. |
