Chemical accidents are going more frequent with increasing industrialization and increased measured handling of large quantities of chemicals. They can cause major life and property losses and environmental impact if proper safety considerations are neglected. This emphasizes the importance of the consequence analysis of the risks involved with the chemical plants. The purpose of this study is to analyze the consequence of major accidents of a case study in a spherical butane tank in the port of Bandar Imam (Iran). In this work, three possible failure scenarios were studied including (a) leakage from the loading line, (b) leakage from the tank manhole (outlet line), (c) rupture in the spherical butane tank in order to model the incidents. The detailed analysis of the results provided essential and important recommendations that should be taken into account including minimum safe distance from the rupture center for different types of fire. The established recommendations of this work can be used for an effective preparedness of people for relevant risks and could be employed to increase the awareness of possible risks and major accidents.

某实际丁烷储罐重大事故后果建模

随着工业化程度的提高和对大量化学品的测量处理的增加，化学品事故变得更加频繁。如果忽视适当的安全考虑，它们可能会造成重大的生命和财产损失以及环境影响。这强调了对涉及化工厂的风险进行后果分析的重要性。本研究的目的是分析班达尔伊玛目（伊朗）港口球形丁烷罐中发生重大事故的案例研究的后果。在这项工作中，研究了三种可能的故障情况，包括（a）装载管线泄漏，（b）罐人孔（出口管线）泄漏，（c）球形丁烷罐破裂，以便对事故进行建模。结果的详细分析提供了应考虑的基本和重要建议，包括不同类型火灾时距破裂中心的最小安全距离。这项工作的既定建议可用于人们对相关风险的有效准备，并可用于提高对可能的风险和重大事故的认识。
