Analysis of causes of failures of process equipment of oil refining and petrochemistry

Abstract

The development of modern industry is associated with an increase in the total scale of production and processing of fire and explosion hazardous and toxic materials, a significant increase in the single capacity of plants and apparatus, and a complication of technologies and regimes for managing the production process. As a result, there is a steady trend in industry to increase the number of accidents with increasingly severe social, environmental and economic consequences. Despite significant efforts in the development of technical safety systems, accident rates (number of accidents or injuries per unit of production) in our country have increased significantly in recent years. The most dangerous situation has developed in the oil refineries of Bashkiria, Samara, Irkutsk and Perm regions where the depreciation depreciation of some technological equipment is 70%. Thus, safety is one of the main characteristics of industrial facilities.
