Popis: | Fire is among the more dangerous accident scenarios that may affect the process and chemical industry. Beside the immediate and direct harm to workers and population, fire may also cause damages to structures, which may trigger escalation resulting in severe secondary scenarios. Fireproofing is usually applied to improve the capacity of structures to maintain their integrity during a fire. Past accidents evidenced that the available standards for fireproofing application in onshore chemical and process plants do not consider all the fire scenarios that may cause structural damage. In the present study a methodology was developed for the identification of the zones where fireproofing should be applied. The effect of both pool fires and jet fires was accounted. Simplified criteria, based on radiative heat intensity, were provided for the identification of the fire protection zones. A risk-based procedure was proposed for the selection of significant reference release scenarios to be used in the evaluation of worst credible fire consequences. |
