Review on fire explosion research of crude oil storage tank

Abstract

With the rapid development of the world economy, the petrochemical industry energy reserve strategy and production demand increase, petrochemical storage tank farm scale is also expanding, and continue to large, intensive direction of development. In recent years, there are many disastrous accidents such as oil leakage, explosion and combustion of storage tank, so it is necessary to study the combustion and explosion behavior of storage tank. This paper studies the mechanism of explosion combustion in crude oil tank area, summarizes and states the progress of crude oil explosion combustion research at home and abroad, and lists several common risk evaluation methods for tank risk management, which can provide technical support for safety management and accident emergency rescue through qualitative, quantitative evaluation and accident consequence simulation calculation. Therefore, we should sum up the experience and lessons from the accident, strengthen the theoretical research, to avoid the recurrence of similar accidents, and effectively guarantee the safety of national energy reserves.
