Risk Indexes ( Analisi per Individuare Aree Critiche ) Analysis according to specific decrees (for processes and storage) (Ministry Decrees DM 15/5/96 and 20/10/98) Plant divided into Units (homogeneous) Risk index classified according to substances, characteristics of processes, safety systems, specific conditions
The Safety Report to be developed according to Law 334/99 contains: Identification data and Plant Location; General information on plant management and technology; Analisi ad Indici (Risk Indexes); Accidental events identification and consequence analysis; Design criteria; mitigation and protection measures
Safety Analysis - Main Assumptions To define a lower bound for frequency to discriminate between credible and non-credible events (usually 1.E-07 /year). For on credible events no consequence analysis is done; Process generated accidents identified by HAZOP; frequency calculated by Fault Tree analysis; Accidental events related to loss of containment events postulated on the basis of historical data. Usually a set of cases (e.g. two cases considered : hole diameter 5% and 20% of pipe diameter) are considered for each isolatable section; Historical analysis to check past experiences and show if design can avoid past experiences.
Isolatable Sections For each section, process and design data are collected for the probability and consequence analysis
Safety Analysis - Main Assumptions Event Tree (ET) Analysis to identify Accident Scenarios and associated probabilities. The ET analysis considers meteorological conditions, safety systems, ignition sources
Accidental Scenario identification Ignition probability in Event Tree Analysis from literature data: Leak Flow rate Portata del Rilascio Probabilità di Innesco Immediato (kg/s) Rilascio Liquido Rilascio Gassoso < 1 0.01 0.01 1 50 0.03 0.07 > 50 0.08 0.30 Massa Infiammabile (kg) Probabilità di Innesco Ritardato < 100 0.001 100 1000 0.01 > 1000 0.1 Immediate ignition Liquid Gas Delayed ignition Flammable Mass Massa Infiammabile (kg) Probabilità di Esplosione se innescata < 1500 0 1 1500 0.099 0.901 Probabilità di Flash Fire se innescata UVCE Flash Fire
Loss of Containment cases Release cases are considered for Isolatable Sections, where process conditions and inventory ( duration of releases) vary
Frequency Analysis Main Data: PROCESS LINES: Historical data abses, e.g. API 581, E&P Forum, TNO etc. Pipelines: EGIG (European Incident Data gropu for Gas), CONCAWE (for Oil lines) External events (e.g. collisions): probabilistic analysis. Considering actual design and site conditions, including effect of Safety Management Systems

Consequence Analysis Damage levels defined by Law on the basis of International Literature: Soglie di Danno a Persone e Strutture Scenario Incidentale Incendio (radiazione termica stazionaria) Flash-fire (1) (radiazione termica istantanea) UVCE (3) (Sovrappressione di picco) Elevata letalità Inizio letalità Livello di Danno Lesioni Lesioni irreversibili reversibili Danni alle strutture Effetti Domino 12,5 kw/m 2 7 kw/m 2 5 kw/m 2 3 kw/m 2 12,5 kw/m 2 LFL (2) 0,5 LFL --- --- --- 0,3 bar (0,6 bar in spazi aperti) Rilascio tossico LC50 30 min (4) IDLH (5) 0,14 bar 0,07 bar 0,03 bar 0,3 bar Fireball/BLEVE Raggio fireball 350 kj/m 2 200 kj/m 2 125 kj/m 2 100 m da parco bombole 600 m da stoccaggio in sfere 800 m da stoccaggio in cilindri High Mortality Minor injuries Domino effects
Consequence Analysis Damage distances for each accidental scenario are calculated
Consequence Analysis Mapping Events are mapped on the site to allow assessment of land use compatibility, analysis of domino effects, emergency planning etc.
