Computational Modelling and Prediction of Consequences in Case of Accidental Releases of Hazardous Substances in an Industrial Plant

摘要

Storing relatively large amounts of hazardous materials under certain conditions can lead to high-risk situations. In industrial units, the assessment of the amplitude and severity of the consequences of the identified major accidents is done in order to provide data on site intervention and emergency planning. This study aims to assess the consequences of untimely releases of hazardous explosive / toxic substances in an industrial unit by graphical modelling and analysis of such accident scenarios using specialized software tools. The main activity of the industrial unit under study consists in the manufacture, processing and marketing of essential oils and their derived products.
