FDS Simulation and Consequences Forecasting of LPG Storage Tank Pool Fire and Explosion

This paper analyzes the fire explosion risk of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage tank through methods of model calculation and simulation. A large crude oil reserves library in Tianjin is the main study object in this paper, the fire process for the storage tank pool fire is simulated using the fire simulation software FDS, which produces the development of fire and the change of the radiation intensity in the case of fire. And the damage degree of explosion accident consequences has been calculated quantitatively by the vapor cloud explosion model, which obtains the casualties radius and property damage. Study results provide reference data and theoretical guidance for fire protection design and fire fighting tactics in LPG storage tank area.
