Abstract
Hazard evaluation and FTA are performed as the first and the second step of QRA for a LNG storage tank. Hazards are identified using HAZOP. Each segment of the system is examined, and we list all possible deviations from normal operating conditions and how they might occur. The consequences on the process are assessed, and the means available to detect and correct the deviations are reviewed. The FTA is carried out to analyse the hazards identified from the HAZOP study. A top event is selected to be release of LNG. Then all combinations of individual failures that can lead to the hazardous event are shown in the logical format of the fault tree system.
