Research on safety evaluation of oil storage tank area based on accident tree analysis
Based on the accident tree analysis method,this study evaluated the safety of the oil tank area based on the case of a fire caused by a lightning strike in an oil depot.By building a fault tree model,40 basic events leading to oil tank fire and explosion are identified,and the fault mode of top events is determined using the minimum path set.Through fuzzy fault tree analysis,expert opinions are converted into fuzzy values,and the probability of top-level events is calculated.The sensitivity and significance analysis is further carried out,and it is found that poor ventilation in tank farm is the most critical factor leading to the accident.The research results provide an important reference for improving the safety of oil tank area.
