Abstract
The analysis of approaches to modeling and evaluation of processes prior to the appearance of the BLEVE effect during accidents of LPG tanks was carried out. The BLEVE effect is one of the worst-case scenarios for the development of an accident, so the effective assessment of this effect, as well as the prediction of its consequences, is an integral part of the safety risk assessment.The results from the various sources considered suggest that it is the vapour energy that is the source for the shock wave from BLEVEs. The immediate hazards of a BLEVE are a blast and projectiles. Since LPG is flammable, it will be ignited immediately and a fireball is possible with the associated hazards of fire engulfment and thermal radiation.
