Emergency Evacuation Plan for Modular Offshore Booster Stations
Currently,there is limited research on personnel evacuation in case of fires during the maintenance of modu-lar offshore booster stations.For a typical layout scheme of modular booster stations,a personnel evacuation model is es-tablished using the Pathfinder software.The impacts of the personnel distribution and different combinations of evacuation routes on evacuation time are simulated and analyzed.Then,optimization suggestions for the layout of the evacuation routes in modular booster stations are proposed.It is suggested that external corridors should be arranged in modular booster stations as far as possible,and at least two external evacuation routes in different directions should be provided to facilitate the rapid evacuation of personnel through the external corridors and external evacuation routes.
