Physical and mathematical measurements of potential hazard during storage of diesel fuel at the tank battery

The article briefly describes the results of calculations of probable potential accidents (emergencies) at a technical facility designed for storing diesel fuel at a tank battery and their consequences for humans and the environment. The calculations considered the most important parameters: the amount and hazard class of substances, the volume, and area of industrial premises, temperature and pressure fluctuations, the distance of personnel from the damaging factor, etc. It was revealed that such types of accidents as an explosion of a fuel-air mixture, a pool fire, jet fire, an explosion inside equipment, an explosion inside a building are possible at this enterprise. As a result of calculations, it has been established that the most likely accident will occur in case of partial depressurization of the pipeline and the formation of the pool fire, the number of the forecasted casualties is 1 person.
