| Abstract | The process safety framework is provided in order to represent the useful approaches for safety decision, mitigation and prevention plans in the chemical indus try. To achieve the purpose of process safety, the process haza rd analysis procedure and the m ethod to estimate damage loss implement on the site-specific case study. The LPG storage tank contains the flammable hazardous which can lead to the catastrophic events. Fire and e xplosion outcomes are concerned in the LPG storage sys tem failure. The most possible and severe outcome is BLEVE which is the outcome of the catastrophic failure. Then, the eff ects of this outcomes are modeled by software and mathematic modeling. The magnitude of hazards a re determined. The economic loss is defined as the damage-loss of a structure due to the process hazard accident and this damage-loss can lead to economic loss in the company. The methods for loss estimation consists of the vulne rability analysis and damage in dex estimation. In this step, the structural damage is defined as a dent on the vicinity pipeline . The fragments effect from BLEVE explosion event is concerned because it can harm to the p ipeline significantly. The physical damage (dents on pipeline) are converted into response damage index by using damage index estimation. Moreover, the monetary damage index is included relating with each response damage index. This method is useful for quantification of loss due to the process hazard accidents. |
