摘要: The potential reduction of risk in LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) road transport due to the adoption passive fire protections was investigated. Experimental data available for small scale vessels fully engulfed by a were extended real and rail tankers through finite elements model. results mathematical simulations engulfment scenarios that may follow accidents involving proved effectiveness thermal preventing "fired" BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) scenario. presence coating greatly increases "time failure", providing time lapse European experience be considered sufficient allow start effective mitigation actions brigades. obtained used calculate expected individual societal transportation case scenarios. analysis confirmed introduction turns out significant risk, up an order magnitude about 50% if expectation value is considered. Thus, protections, not compulsory regulations, technical measure reduction, contribute achieve control "major hazards" cited legislation. © 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
