Abstract
This paper performed quantitative risk analysis of a liquified natural gas station which was plannedto built. According to the result of risk analysis, land utilization in the neighborhood of the proposed liquified natural gas station was determined. By making a judgment on the accidents which were likely to happen, jet fire, flash fire, vapor cloud explosion and boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion were included. But in this paper, only vapor cloud explosion and boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion were discussed because of their seriousness. Then individual risk was calculated. Refered to the acceptable criterion of individual risk in UK, three risk zones were defined. According to present situation of landutilization, a proposal about how and what to develop in a risk zone separately was given. The results showed that two settlements and a factory which located in the neighborhood of the proposed liquified natural gas station must be relocated.
