Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of risk assessment technology, and in particular to methods, systems and equipment for assessing the risk of safety accidents. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the petrochemical industry, tank farms often house concentrated petrochemical storage tanks. Areas storing flammable petrochemical raw materials are particularly prone to safety accidents. Without appropriate methods for assessing the risk of such accidents, it is impossible to prevent potential incidents, which could lead to serious casualties and property damage.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for assessing the risk of safety accidents are to systematically and objectively evaluate the risk by analyzing historical data or constructing simulated scenarios. However, there are many factors that influence the assessment of the risk of safety accidents in large crude oil storage tank areas, and the above-mentioned methods often result in inaccurate assessment results. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a method, system, and equipment for assessing the risk of safety accidents, in order to solve the problem of inaccurate assessment results in existing methods for assessing the risk of safety accidents.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, this application provides a method for assessing the risk of a safety accident, comprising: acquiring multi-source information about the tank farm; constructing a risk probability model for the occurrence of a safety accident based on the multi-source information; determining the predicted area range for the occurrence of a safety accident based on the multi-source information; and determining the risk level of a safety accident occurring within the tank farm based on the risk probability model for the occurrence of a safety accident and the predicted area range for the occurrence of a safety accident.

[0007] The above technical solution brings at least the following beneficial effects: It constructs a risk probability model for safety accidents using multi-source information. Since multi-source information contains a wide variety and comprehensive range of information, the risk probability model based on multi-source information can accurately predict the probability of a safety accident occurring, providing an accurate data foundation for subsequently determining the risk level of the safety accident. The safety accident risk assessment method provided in this application also determines the predicted regional range of the safety accident using multi-source information, and determines the risk level of the safety accident by combining the risk probability and the regional range of the safety accident. By accurately determining the risk level of the safety accident based on both the risk probability and the geographical range of the safety accident, it can provide a relatively accurate assessment of the safety accident risk, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the assessment results.

[0008] In one possible implementation, a risk probability model for the occurrence of a safety accident is constructed based on multi-source information, including: determining a set of risk factors for the occurrence of a safety accident based on multi-source information; determining the target risk factors and the correlation between each risk factor based on the set of risk factors; and constructing a risk probability model for the occurrence of a safety accident based on the target risk factors and the correlation between each risk factor.

[0009] In one possible implementation, a risk probability model for the occurrence of a safety accident is constructed based on the target risk factors and the correlation between them. This includes: performing a cascading propagation mechanism analysis based on the target risk factors and the correlation between them to obtain target events, root node events, and intermediate node events; wherein, the target event is used to indicate the predicted safety accident occurring in the tank area, the root node event is used to indicate the initial risk factors for the predicted safety accident occurring in the tank area, and the intermediate node event is used to indicate the intermediate state of the tank area before triggering the safety accident; and a risk probability model for the occurrence of a safety accident is constructed based on the target event, root node event, and intermediate node events.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the predicted area range for a safety accident is determined based on multi-source information, including: determining the predicted area range for a safety accident based on multi-source information and the thermal radiation equation.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the determining unit is specifically used for: determining a set of risk factors for a safety accident based on multi-source information; determining the target risk factors and the relationships between the risk factors based on the set of risk factors; and constructing a risk probability model for a safety accident based on the target risk factors and the relationships between the risk factors.

[0019] In one possible implementation, the unit is specifically used for: performing cascading propagation mechanism analysis based on the target risk factors and the correlation between various risk factors to obtain the target event, the root node event, and the intermediate node event; wherein, the target event is used to indicate the predicted safety accident occurring in the tank area, the root node event is used to indicate the initial risk factors for the predicted safety accident occurring in the tank area, and the intermediate node event is used to indicate the intermediate state of the tank area before triggering the safety accident; and a risk probability model for the occurrence of the safety accident is constructed based on the target event, the root node event, and the intermediate node event.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the determining unit is also used to determine the predicted area range where a safety accident may occur based on multi-source information and the thermal radiation equation.

[0021] In one possible implementation, the thermal radiation equation satisfies the following formula:

[0022] Q = E × F

[0023] Where Q represents radiant flux, E represents radiant energy, and F represents the viewing angle coefficient.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the accident hazard level satisfies the following formula:

[0025]

[0026] Among them, R is the hazard level of the accident, and S is the hazard level of the accident. Ri C represents the area affected by the safety incident. cj For the degree of personal injury, C pi P represents the degree of property damage. li P represents the probability of a leakage safety accident occurring. igi P represents the probability of a safety accident caused by an ignition source. ig C represents the probability of ignition time delay occurring. sj For the success level of the j-th rescue method, P j Let be the probability of success for the j-th rescue method.

[0040] With the rapid development of the petrochemical industry, tank farms often house concentrated petrochemical storage tanks. Areas storing flammable petrochemical raw materials are particularly prone to safety accidents. Without appropriate methods for assessing the risk of such accidents, it is impossible to prevent potential incidents, which could lead to serious casualties and property damage.

[0041] Currently, the main methods for assessing the risk of safety accidents include quantitative risk assessment, qualitative risk assessment, and probabilistic safety assessment. These methods primarily rely on risk assessment tools and software systems. The following provides a detailed explanation of these three risk assessment methods.

[0042] Quantitative risk assessment methods specifically include event tree analysis (ETA), fault tree analysis (FTA), risk-based detection (American Petroleum Institute, API) 581 method, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and quantitative risk assessment (QRA). These methods can quantify potential safety events and the risk of such incidents using mathematical and / or statistical tools, and assess the impact on personnel, the environment, and property.

[0043] Traditional risk analysis methods, such as fault tree analysis, event tree analysis, and the API 581 method, focus on using historical data and empirical knowledge to statically assess the risk of safety incidents. These static assessment factors typically include equipment characteristics, operating conditions, and maintenance history.

[0044] Fault tree analysis (FMA) is a systematic approach used to analyze and understand the probability and influencing factors that lead to safety accidents within a system or process. It offers advantages such as systematicity and visualization. The system, also known as the framework, can represent the collective aspects of tank farm production and transportation, tank farm equipment, and tank farm personnel. The process refers to the development and occurrence of a safety accident. FMA can systematically analyze various possible paths and key events leading to safety accidents, identifying potential safety accident factors and risk sources. It also clearly displays the causal relationships and possible paths leading to safety accidents through graphical representations, aiding user understanding and communication. Furthermore, it can quantitatively assess the probability of each event and its impact on system safety, helping to optimize risk management strategies. Finally, FMA helps identify the root causes of safety accidents, rather than just surface phenomena, providing guidance for developing prevention and control measures.

[0045] However, fault tree analysis can require significant time and expertise to learn and use, especially in the analysis of complex systems or multi-factor safety incidents. When collecting system data and analyzing system failures, fault tree analysis relies on detailed and accurate data to support the analysis process; incomplete or inaccurate data can affect the effectiveness of the analysis and the reliability of the results. User subjective judgment can play a crucial role in constructing the fault tree and assessing the probability of events, thus requiring users to undergo professional training and gain experience to reduce subjective errors.

[0046] The API 581 methodology is a widely used static risk assessment standard, primarily used to evaluate the reliability and safety of industrial equipment (including storage tanks). Currently, the API 581 methodology is widely adopted globally in industries such as oil and chemical engineering to assess equipment health and risk levels. It can also be applied to static risk assessments, quantitatively evaluating equipment reliability using historical data and empirical knowledge. API 581 case studies typically aim to conduct detailed assessments of specific tank structures and operating conditions to develop effective maintenance strategies and risk control measures, optimize equipment maintenance strategies, maximize equipment safety and reliability, and thereby reduce the risk of production interruptions and safety accidents. Practical application cases of API 581 can provide valuable experience for other organizations within the industry to reference and learn from.

[0047] Determining inspection intervals and methods is primarily based on risk. The RBI method defines risk as the probability of failure (PoF) and consequences of failure (CoF) resulting from a combination of factors. The RBI method is a time-based inspection approach, which is unrelated to quality control. This is because each piece of equipment has different problems that change over time, making it impossible to accurately predict changes in equipment quality. The focus of inspection in the RBI method is on categorizing inspection processes, methods, locations, and intervals.

[0048] In summary, API 581, as an international standard, has gained widespread acceptance and application in the industry, possessing high authority and reliability. The API 581 method is relatively intuitive and simple, facilitating user understanding and application. It fully utilizes historical operating data and industry experience, enabling relatively accurate assessment of equipment health status. However, the API 581 method is primarily based on static data and historical experience, exhibiting weak responsiveness to dynamic changes in equipment. Its accuracy is affected by factors such as data quality, model parameter selection, and changes in the operating environment. Incomplete or highly erroneous data may impact the accuracy of the assessment results. In practical applications, the API 581 method may not fully consider certain specific operating environment factors or equipment characteristics. To improve the accuracy of the assessment, it is typically necessary to combine on-site inspections, regular monitoring, and professional judgment to correct and optimize the assessment results.

[0049] In summary, while traditional risk assessment methods such as fault trees and event trees can primarily focus on the logical relationships and probabilities of events, they cannot comprehensively consider all possible system variables and interactive effects, thus exhibiting limitations in certain complex situations. These limitations include: static nature, meaning they cannot dynamically update factors that change over time, such as corrosion and weld fatigue; and rule-based limitations, meaning they struggle to handle multi-factor coupled failures (such as the combined effects of earthquakes and corrosion), relying on manual experience for correction. On the other hand, while these methods comprehensively consider multiple factors such as the design, materials, operating environment, and operational management of storage tanks, the safety management of storage tanks in oil depot areas faces greater challenges due to the continuous increase in oil consumption. The storage of large quantities of explosive and volatile liquids in refineries or managed warehouses increases the risk of serious safety accidents. During long-term operation, storage tanks and their auxiliary equipment are affected by multiple sources, making their working conditions more complex than those of typical small mechanical equipment. The collected data may not only contain some misleading information but also, due to its large volume, is difficult to integrate and analyze in a simple manner. For multi-source factors, traditional processing methods cannot effectively obtain risk factors and accurately judge risk levels. At the same time, when the types and number of multi-source factors are large, it may lead to problems such as long calculation cycles and increased costs. In severe cases, it may even lead to incorrect judgment of accident risks of storage tanks, resulting in safety accidents. If there are no corresponding rescue measures, it may cause more serious casualties and property losses.

[0050] Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a systematic preventative measure designed to identify and assess potential failure modes in a system, product, or service, and the effects these failures may have on the system or users.

[0051] In probabilistic safety assessments, FMEA is often used in conjunction with methods such as event tree analysis and fault tree analysis to provide a comprehensive perspective and direction for improvement in system safety assessment. Examples include the analysis of safety incident scenarios during battery transportation and storage, and the analysis of fire or explosion incident scenarios in oil refineries. Qualitative risk assessment methods include Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) and Safety Case Assessment (SCA). These methods focus on identifying potential hazards and operational errors, assessing safety incident risks through expert judgment and system analysis.

[0052] Probabilistic safety assessment (PSA) is a systematic approach used to evaluate the safety of complex systems, such as nuclear power plants and chemical plants. The core idea of ​​PSA is to quantitatively assess a system's safety performance in the face of various possible events by combining probabilistic tools and / or system analysis tools. PSA comprehensively considers factors such as system failures, human error, and external events to assess the overall safety of a system or process. Multivariate risk assessment methods integrate multiple assessment techniques, such as combining quantitative and qualitative methods, or combining Bayesian networks and data-driven approaches, to improve the comprehensiveness and accuracy of risk assessment.

[0053] To overcome the problems of traditional risk assessment methods, Badreddine and Amor proposed the Bayesian network (BN) method. Figure 1 As shown, the Bayesian network structure consists of evidence nodes, directed edges, intermediate nodes, and a target node. The directed edges point from the evidence nodes to the intermediate nodes, and from the intermediate nodes to the target node.

[0054] Bayesian Networks (BN) is a probabilistic reasoning technique for uncertainty-based reasoning. It allows for a more dynamic study of possible combinations leading to the failure of target events and safety measures. Therefore, it is widely used in various aspects such as safety analysis, risk management, safety incident risk assessment, and the implementation of safety barriers, improving the implementation and optimization of reliability components. Due to its flexible structure, BN can easily represent causal relationships between a set of random variables, thus illustrating local dependencies. A key advantage of BN is that it updates the system's accident risk as new evidence becomes available. Several attempts have been made to develop process safety and accident risk analysis for complex systems using BN models, proving it to be a practical method for modeling uncertain accident risks. Accident risk models based on Bayesian networks have received widespread attention and development in recent years. They break away from traditional accident risk assessment methods by dynamically evaluating accident risk, offering a real-time, multi-source risk assessment method. Applying this method to the risk assessment of storage tanks and their auxiliary equipment has yielded satisfactory results.

[0055] Currently, probabilistic security assessments, due to their quantifiable nature, scientific methods and data analysis, relative objectivity, and ability to reduce the influence of subjective factors on security decisions, are frequently used as a primary method for assessing accident risks in various scenarios. This helps enterprises allocate resources rationally, focus on high-risk areas or processes, and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of security management. Through probabilistic security assessments, enterprises can identify potential security risks and vulnerabilities in advance, helping to prevent security incidents and ensure the safety of personnel and the environment.

[0056] Accident risk assessment tools and software systems primarily involve the development and application of various computer-aided tools and software systems, such as risk assessment model establishment and application platforms, facilitating systematic risk assessment and management for users. Currently, major risk assessment tools and software systems include Factor Analysis of Information Risk (FAIR), a quantitative risk assessment method focused on information security, helping organizations quantify risks and make decisions. On the other hand, commonly used enterprise software for calculating the consequences of safety accidents includes Process Hazard Analysis Software Tool (PHAST) / / SAFETI (or alternatively, quantitative risk analysis software), a software suite developed by DNV GL, used to assess the consequences of safety accidents in chemical processes, including fire accidents, explosion accidents, and toxic gas leak accidents. ANSYS FLUENT is a fluid dynamics simulation software widely used in engineering, supporting the simulation of various flow and heat transfer problems, and supporting the construction and consequence calculation of leak accidents, fire accidents, and explosion accidents. OpenFOAM is an open-source CFD software package that provides a wide range of numerical methods and models suitable for simulating various complex fluid flow and heat transfer problems, primarily applicable to the consequence calculation of gas leak accidents, fire accidents, etc. COMSOL Multiphysics software offers simulation software for multiphysics coupling, including fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and structural mechanics, suitable for multidisciplinary simulation analysis. These software programs provide a wide range of functions from basic flows to complex multiphysics couplings, allowing users to choose the appropriate software for fluid mechanics simulation and analysis based on specific application needs, and to build models and calculate consequences for safety accident scenarios. While this type of quantitative analysis method can quantify local risks (such as calculating the overpressure propagation range of fire and explosion shock waves), it is computationally expensive, requiring hours to days for a single simulation, making it unsuitable for real-time calculations and risk assessments. Furthermore, problems such as data fragmentation are frequently encountered during simulations; simulation results are usually independent of the management system and not linked to detection data. Commonly used simulation software by Chinese scholars includes FDS, FLACS, DNV-PHAST, and ALOHA, which have certain applicability and significant application value in tank failure consequence analysis.

[0057] However, safety accidents in large crude oil storage areas (such as large crude oil storage tank fires) are characterized by complex model construction and large computational load, often resulting in high simulation costs and long calculation times. Furthermore, large tank fires are subject to many uncontrollable factors, such as temperature and wind speed, which can significantly impact the accuracy of the simulation results.

[0058] Overall, existing risk assessment methods have been widely applied and advanced across various industries and application areas, continuously incorporating new technologies and methods to improve the scientific rigor, comprehensiveness, and practicality of assessments, thereby more effectively safeguarding industrial production and public safety. However, the application of this technology in assessing the risk of safety accidents (e.g., tank spill fires) still faces challenges, such as the need for further research and improvement in areas like data quality assurance, model accuracy optimization, and the applicability of real-time monitoring systems.

[0059] Overall, the methods for assessing the risk of safety accidents are developing towards intelligence, dynamism, and comprehensiveness, aiming to improve the accuracy of the assessment results.

[0060] In view of this, this application provides a method for assessing the risk of safety accidents. It constructs a probability model of safety accident risk by using multi-source information. Since multi-source information contains a wide variety and comprehensive range of information, the probability model can accurately predict the probability of a safety accident, providing an accurate data foundation for determining the risk level of the safety accident. The method also uses multi-source information to determine the predicted geographical area where a safety accident might occur, and combines this with the probability of the safety accident and the geographical area to determine the risk level. By accurately determining the risk level based on both the probability of the safety accident and its geographical scope, this method provides a relatively accurate assessment of the risk of safety accidents, thus ensuring the accuracy of the assessment results.

[0087] Furthermore, in an optional implementation, the process by which the electronic device determines the target risk factor can be as follows: the electronic device determines the target risk factor (or can be replaced by the main risk factor) affecting the normal operation of the tank farm based on tank farm condition data, historical tank farm data, and experience data. The target risk factor can be adjusted according to the actual situation of the tank farm. For example, when the tank farm is located in a high-temperature area, the high-temperature factor can be used as the target risk factor. This application embodiment does not limit this.

The target event indicates the predicted safety accident occurring within the tank area. The root node event indicates the initial risk factors for the predicted safety accident occurring within the tank area. The intermediate node events indicate the intermediate state of the tank area before triggering the safety accident. The electronic device constructs a risk probability model for the safety accident based on the target event, the root node event, and the intermediate node events.

A fire includes an accident caused by an ignition source igniting combustible materials. The root node event indicates that the root node event is the starting point of the safety accident risk analysis, representing the initial risk factors that may trigger a safety accident, such as equipment failure or operational errors; or, representing the initial triggering conditions of a safety accident. Relevant intermediate node events represent the intermediate state of the tank farm before the target event is triggered, such as delayed leak detection or failure of emergency measures.

[0092] For example, when the target event is a flammable material leak accident, the root node event can be equipment failure, operator error, or external factors, and the relevant intermediate node events can be leak detection delay, emergency measures failure, or environmental conditions, etc. This application embodiment does not limit these.
