Root causes of process safety incidents mainly come from lacking of design integrity, operational integrity, mechanical integrity. Barrier Management Program (Barrier Model) ZABS Group Classification of Property Damage Loss i. o : = Ess _ ° In the first 10 years of a plant’s operation, most losses are caused by operations-related failures, such as not following operating or permit-to-work procedures. As plant operations experience both loss toll and there is a steep rise develops, the number of losses reduces, until.age takes i frequency and magnitude in plants more than 30-years-old, creating a skewed “bath-tub curve.” In older plants, mechanical-integrity-related failures account for 65% of losses. Failure of piping becomes increasingly more prevalent as plants age. (Overall, not accounting for age of plant, piping failure accounts far 60% of mechanical integrity losses.)

A steadily burning fire is rapidly achieved as the flame vapor to sustain the fire is provided by evaporation of liquid by heat from the flames.

The speed of burning is function of the concentration of the flammable component in the cloud and also the wind speed. Within a few seconds of ignition, the flame spreads both upwind and downwind of the ignition source. Initially, the flame is contained with in the loud due to premixed burning of the regions within the flammable limits. Subsequently, the flame extends in the form of a fire plume above the cloud. The downwind edge of the flame starts to moye towards the spill point after consuming the flammable vapor downwind of the i ion source. The duration of this fire is very short and the damage is caused by thermal radiation and oxygen depletion. Reef. Disaster Management Insitute, Bhopal.

The pressure of release generates a long flame, which is stable under most con ions. A flash flame may take the form of jet flame on reaching the spill point. ‘The duration of the jet fire is determined by the release rate and the capacity of the source. Flame length increases directly with flow rate. Typically a pressurized release of 8 kg/s would have a length of 35 m. The cross winds also affects the flame length. 4 Reef.
