Abstract

The analysis of fire hazard of the technological process of vegetable oil production, which is caused by the circulation of flammable, combustible solid and li quid substances and materials in it, is carried out. Liquid oil aerosols are a high fire hazard when they are released from the process equipment under pressure and at elevated temperatures. When a combustion source occurs in them, a sequential burnout occurs (by analogy with gas combustible mixtures), creating an explosive load. The peculiarities of the combustion of oil aerosols, which are characterized by relatively light gasification (fog formation) and the absence of the need for pre-heating to flash point, are investigated. Extinguishing foams, powders, and aerosol emissions can be used as extinguishing agents for spills of organic oils.
