Analysis of the Impact of Thermal Radiation Intensity and Smoke Concentration from A 100000 m3 Crude Oil Tank Roof Fire
As crude oil storage facilities continue to evolve towards larger,more complex,and integrated systems,the fire rescue efforts during such incidents pose significant challenges.To delve deeply into the impact of a fire on the roof of a 100000 m3 crude oil tank on surrounding personnel and facilities,this study incorporates the practical example of the crude oil commercial storage tank farm operated by Dongying Port Co.,Ltd..The process industrialaccident consequenceanalysis software PHAST and the fireenergy drive fluidsimulation software FDS were used as thesimulation platform tosimulate the burningprocess of 100100 m3 raw oil tank roof fire.The results reveal the distribution patterns of thermal radiation on the ground and at different heights of adjacent tanks under varying wind speeds,as well as the dispersion patterns of smoke and dust from the fire.The study analyzes the extent of the influence of thermal radiation and smoke from the tank roof fire on nearby personnel and facilities,provides recommendations for fire safety,and offers a theoretical basis for the rational design of fire safety measures for 100000 m3 crude oil tanks.
