Development of algorithms for predicting ignition probabilities and explosion frequencies - jun. 2010 - 7 p. ; 155-161

Transcripción del resumen del autor. This article covers the development of algorithms for predicting the frequencies of explosions based on a variety of design, operating and environmental conditions. Algorithms were developed for estimating unit-based explosion frequencies, such as those reported in API, but in more detail and covering a much broader range of chemical process types. This article also shows the developed methods for predicting scenario-based explosion frequencies, using frequencies of initiating events and conditional probabilities of immediate ignition and delayed ignition resulting in explosion. The algorithms were based on a combination of published data and expert opinion. © 2009 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Process Saf Prog, 2010
