This webinar discusses AN incidents in Beirut, Lebanon, Tianjin, China, and West Texas, as well as lessons learned to avoid such incidents in the future. All these events involved unique conditions necessary to turn the relatively stable oxidizer ammonium nitrate into a detonating explosive.
This webinar highlights the main causes of fires and explosions when handling bulk solids, how to assess these hazards, how to prevent these events from occurring, and how to protect people and assets.
In this webinar, you will learn how DSEAR / ATEX should fit into a typical project life cycle and how conducting a suitable DSEAR / ATEX assessment at the right time can reduce both CAPEX and OPEX. You will also learn how to avoid common issues across a range of projects in the Food & Drink sector.
This webinar breaks down the logical steps required in a practical and structured way to demonstrate that the hazards related to fire and explosions have been assessed and reduced to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) in order to demonstrate regulatory compliance.
En este seminario vía web, se presentan estadísticas históricas de accidentes causados por explosiones de gas, los procesos físicos asociados con este tipo de accidentes, incluyendo los eventos que conducen a las explosiones, como dispersión e fuentes de ignición, así como el impacto de la congestión, confinamiento y turbulencia en la severidad de las consecuencias de las explosiones de gas.
This course is an introduction to the theory and applications of Shell FRED 2020. It will cover all the existing consequence modeling scenarios within the software, including source term modelling, pool formation, gas dispersion, jet and pool fires, impinging fires, vessel burst smoke ingress in buildings/temporary refuge, and explosion scenarios in congested and/or confined areas. Upon completion of this course, participants will

Steve Howell, the Technical Director of Abercus, discusses the uncertainties in probabilistic explosion risk analysis.
Gexcon’s recommendation of DpDx for DDT occurrence along with BakerRisk’s identification of DDT- and deflagration-regime as a function of flame Mach No. and normalized flame travel distance, would be used to evaluate DDT in elongated vapor clouds.
Previous simplistic modelling carried out by the client estimated a situation that would be intolerable for the personnel in the area considering the high toxicity of HCN at low concentrations. A detailed ventilation and dispersion modelling study was conducted for the area in order to provide a more realistic release and dispersion conditions.
The presentation consists of toxic and flammable dispersion, jet fire, and explosion scenarios for hazardous chemicals eg styrene, acrylonitrile, butadiene, propylene, and vinyl chloride Monomer (VCM) used in the polymer industries.
