ANALYSIS OF EXPLOSION HAZARDOUS AREAS WHILE FILLING TANK-WAGONS WITH OIL CARGOES
Abstract
In the article the authors esteem the likelihood of accidents› emergence during the use of tank-wagons with highly inflammable and flammable liquids. Calculation data of explosion hazardous areas sizes are given, which are formed during loading (bulk) operations. The authors provide an analysis of relevant parameters for different environments. Additionally, options are considered to strengthen measures to prevent emergency situations caused by ignition of vapors of liquids, contained in tankwagons, as well as prevent the presence of a potential source of spark formation.
