Design optimization of storage terminals through the application of QRA

The storage of hazardous materials is a necessary part of the life cycle and operation of any process plant, which intrinsically entails certain hazards and dangers. The results of historical analysis reveal that 17% of major accidents in the process industry occur in storage terminals, and the NFPA...
