The leakage accident from a storage tank in an oil refinery plant occurred in April 2014 and the total loss is KRW 18 billion. This accident has prompted many companies to develop their own mitigation system to minimize the loss of the leakage accident. The aim of this study is to design the temporary storage facility system for dealing with leakage accidents. The basic concept of this system is that the leakage fluid of a hazardous material flows into a temporary storage tank and this is transferred to a spare tank by a pump as avoiding the overflow of a temporary storage tank. In order to design this system, the leakage velocity and quantity according to time series should be evaluated. In addition, a proper pump capacity should be determined to avoid repeating the pump switching on and off frequently. In this study, the benzene tank is selected to verify the efficacy of this system. This study can play a critical role to provide a guideline for designing a new system.
