This study introduces Atlantide, a computer code for assessing accidental events at LPG storage plants. It simplifies risk analysis for compliance with Seveso Directive safety regulations.

Area of Science:

  • Chemical Engineering
  • Risk Assessment
  • Computational Modeling

Background:

  • Accidental events at Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) storage plants pose significant safety risks.
  • Compliance with regulations like the Seveso Directive necessitates robust consequence analysis.
  • Existing tools may be complex or require extensive input data for LPG plant safety assessments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present Atlantide, a prototype computer code designed for consequence analysis of accidental events in LPG storage facilities.
  • To provide a simple yet adequate tool for Italian regulatory compliance under the Seveso Directive.
  • To enable realistic simulations of LPG-related hazards, including releases, dispersion, and explosions.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of validated models for flashing liquid releases, heavy gas dispersion, Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE), and fireballs.

  • Utilizing simplified Event Trees to model accidental scenarios under typical meteorological conditions.
  • Automatic linking of models in a defined sequence based on the selected accidental event.

    • Main Results:

    • Atlantide offers a streamlined approach to risk analysis for LPG installations, minimizing time and potential errors.
    • The code provides realistic simulations of physical effects and hazardous areas resulting from accidental events.
    • Results from Atlantide have been validated against international codes and Italian regulatory criteria.

    Conclusions:

    • Atlantide is a user-friendly and efficient tool for assessing LPG plant safety, suitable for regulatory compliance.
    • The code's design balances simplicity with the capability to simulate complex accidental phenomena.
    • Atlantide facilitates reliable risk assessments for LPG storage and transferring installations.
