Assessment of designing multi-fuel filling stations

Abstract

The lack of design standards for fire-prevention distances between the ground tanks of reduced hydrocarbon gases (RHG) as part of multi-fuel filling stations to facilities not related to it and on the territory (MFS) between the buildings, structures and technological equipment is the urgent problem in the design and operation of these facilities. The article evaluates the parameters of hazardous factors of possible technogenic emergencies on the technological equipment of RHG sites for workers, fuel consumers and people who are in the residential area near multi-fuel filling stations (MFS) according to the existing method. The most dangerous design basis accidents, in which the largest amount of flammable gas and gasoline is released into the environment at the MFS territory, are considered. Technical solutions have been developed to eliminate the formation of a flammable environment at the facility, as well as measures to prevent the formation of ignition sources in a combustible environment.
