Fires and Explosions Analysis for Consequence Risk and Accident Investigation

Key Learning Points

• Refresh Understanding of accident chain of events and important parameters affecting gas release and dispersion
and basics of VCE
• In depth understanding of dispersion and explosion modelling techniques that may be applied and understand the
importance of using advance 3D modeling for fire and gas explosion analyses
• Review the fire and gas system design methods and guidelines that are currently available including their
strengths and limitations
• Understand the details of quantitative consequences analysis and how it is employed in performance-based fire and
gas system engineering
• Analyze the impact on overall risk of consequence scenarios and the beneficial effect of fire and gas systems using
consequence integration
• Understand the impact of mitigating the consequences of fire and gas release events on the overall process plant
risk and the difference between prevention and mitigation
