A historical analysis with statistical investigation on accidental events in the oil industry from the beginning of the XX century till now, was performed in order to identify historical trend and go deeper into accident causes. The classification methodology was developed referring to three headings, namely plant/process, environment and...

As well known, risk is a combination of probability and consequences of an accident. In analyzing the consequence of accidental hydrocarbon fires and the potential for domino effects, the evaluation of the flame extent and temperature are of the utmost importance. Since the primary effects of pool fires are connected to thermal radiation and...

There are various factors influencing the occurrence of road accidents, among which mechanical, environmental, behavioural, physical and road intrinsic descriptors may be mentioned. In facing the routing problem, a realistic evaluation of the frequency must take into account on one side inherent parameters and attributes of the road, on the...

10102) utilizing starch hydrolysate as substrate. An optimum pH range corresponding to 6.1– 6.6 is the main evidence of batch runs carried out at di3erent pHs. An optimum value of temperature corresponding to 40◦C is experimentally determined by means of batch fermentation runs carried out at di3erent operative temperatures. A thermodynamic...

One of the main protective measures to be adopted in case of fires in road/rail tunnels is represented by suitable longitudinal ventilation systems being able to avoid fire and smoke exposure of humans, and to create a safe route upstream for evacuation. The key design parameter is the so-called critical ventilation velocity, i.e. the minimum...

As amply reported, after Bhopal disaster process safety got a boost worldwide and risk analysis got applied more generally. Even if the concept of inherent safety, strongly promoted by Trevor Kletz, represents one of the main lessons from this tragedy, in the first part of the paper we focus on Bhopal mitigation measures representing the...

This paper offers a perspective on the relationship between accident frequency and number of employees in the Italian industry, during the period from 1995 to 2000. The number of firms examined is 2,983,753 with a total number of non-fatal and fatal injuries corresponding to 3,321,960. A statistical significant reverse relationship (p < 0:05)...

A simple n-compartment mathematical model is developed to study the effectiveness of fluid curtains and transient behaviour in mitigating the effects of an accidental chlorine release. The model is obtained considering chemical and physical absorption effectiveness of the toxic cloud by a reacting liquid curtain. The characteristics of the...

One of the most frequent accident scenario following a loss of containment during HazMat transportation or processing is represented by the dispersion of a dense gas release. Several dispersion models are available to this purpose, more or less rigorously accounting for gravity slumping, air entrainment and possible heat transfer. Under...

Notwithstanding the enforcement of ATEX EU Directives (94/9/EC of 23 March 1994) and safety management system application, explosions in the coal sector still claim lives and cause huge economic losses. Even a consolidated activity like coke dry distillation allows the opportunity of preventing explosion risk connected to fugitive emissions of...
