Abstract :
Fire and explosion both have become most
repeatedly occurring disasters in India, which requires
more attention, and strict compliance of regulatory
authority to mitigate its consequence. The origin of fire
hazards in now a day is closely related to the Industrial
Rebellion. The frequent happening of fire and explosion
hazards has become an area of concern for both the
settled and developed nations. Since May 2020, there
have been 30 industrial accidents have been reported in
India, killing minimum 75 workers. From 2014 to 2017,
within three year approximately 8,004 number of such
incidents occurred in Indian workplaces killing 6,368
industrial employees in which fire and explosion is one of
the major contributor. Fire in storage tanks containing
flammable liquid have been increased drastically within
three year due to inadequate over flow arrangement,
failure to provide safety devices, poor maintenance of
control equipment and instrument, loss of primary
containment system, and integrity failure of secondary
containment system etc. A systematic analytical
approach has been determined to identify fire an
explosion n risk for one of the biggest storage facility
which stored Iso propyl alcohol. A theoretical dispersion
modelling study has been performed to identify fire and
explosion risk. The dispersion study is used to estimate
or to predict the downwind concentration of
environment pollutants such as flammable gas or any
other gas which is in hazardous nature emitted from the
sources such as storage tank or industrial plants or
process vessel/ pipeline etc. In the atmosphere, dispersion
depends upon the types and numbers of sources, various
meteorological factors and topography of the terrain.
The main advantages of this dissertation is to provide
overall worst case predictable consequence when a
chemical release from the storage how far it can be
impacted to the surrounding area, plant, machinery,
equipment or community. This study will not only gives
the resultant perimeter of consequence modelling even
although predicts the control measure to bring down the
fire an explosion risk in acceptable manner where
minimum impacted can be levied as a residual risk.
