  • The utilization of LPG(Liquefied Petroleum Gas) is increasing as an environmental-friendly fuel in all countries making green growth new paradigm, and use of gas is spread fast as motor fuels to decrease air pollution. Loss of lives by explosion and fire is happening every year as gas use increases, and gas accident in large scale storage property is causing serious problems socially. To minimize this problem, underground containment type storage tank is being presented as an alternative recently. In this study, to minimize explosion occurrence in underground containment type storage tank, the suitable storage tank is designed to consider explosion prevention that makes exposure surface area minimize in confined contents volume and flame to construct storage tank by the most suitable condition in the underground containment room. As a result of the design of storage tank having the most suitable condition by this research, underground containment space was minimized on diameter 3m, length 4.83m in 20 tons storage tank and its safety was improved as exposure surface area in flame decreased by 89.4%, compared with the existent storage tank.

  • LPG 충전소에서 발생하는 폭발의 피해를 Hopkinson의 삼승근법을 이용하여 계산하고, 건물과 인체에 미치는 영향을 프로빗 모델에 적용하여 피해예측을 평가하였다. 현재 국내에서 가장 많이 운용하는 20ton 저장탱크를 대상으로 누출량 10%를 프로빗 모델에 적용하여 계산하면 LPG 충전소에서의 안전거리는 각각 건물(손상)은 260m 이며, 인체(폐출혈 사망)는 30m이다.

  • In Korea, about 110,000 LPG small storage tanks of less than three tons have been installed in restaurants, houses and factories, and are used as LPG supply facilities for cooking, heating and industrial use. In the case of combustible liquefied gas storage tanks, the tank may rupture due to the temperature increase of the tank steel plate (approximately 600℃) even when the safety valve is operating normally, causing large-scale damage in an instant. Therefore, in the event of a fire near the LPG small storage tank, it is necessary to accurately predict the timing of the BLEVE(Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) outbreak in order to secure golden time for lifesaving and safely carry out fire extinguishing activities. In this study, we have first investigated the results of a prior study on the prediction of the occurrence of BLEVE in the horizontal tanks. And we have developed thermodynamic models and simulation program on the prediction of BLEVE that can be applied to vertical tanks used in Korea, have studied the effects of the safety valve's ability to vent, heat flux strength of external fires, size of tanks, and gas remaining in tanks on the time of BLEVE occurrence and have suggested future utilization measures.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 화재사고가 발생한 건물에 인접한 LPG 탱크용 방화벽의 적용성을 검증하는 것이다. 제안된 방화벽 재료는 (1) 두께 10 mm 목재합판, (2) 내화도료를 도포한 목재합판, (3) 두께 75 mm Expanded Polystyrene, (4) 두께 75 mm 유리섬유 충진 샌드위치 판넬, (5) 두께 75 mm Autoclave Lightweight Concrete이다. 화원은 1 m 정사각형으로 120-140 g/s의 LPG를 균일하게 분사하여 방화벽과 후단의 탱크를 가열한다. 적용성은 시험 후 방화벽의 구조적 건전성 확인, 방화벽 양면 및 탱크표면 온도, 탱크 인근 복사열을 분석하여 판단한다. 그 결과, ALC 방화벽이 유일하게 구조 건전성을 유지하였고 저장탱크 온도를 가작 적게 상승시켜 폭발 방지 적용성을 확인하였다. 본 실험결과를 활용하여 방화벽의 성능평가 기준 마련에 필요한 핵심인자를 도출하였다.

  • 지난 30년간의 LPG(Liquified Petroleun Gas)자동차의 사용으로 현재 전국에는 600여 곳의 LPG자동차 충전소가 운영되고 있다. LPG자동차의 운행대수에 비하면 충전소의 수가 절대적으로 부족하고, 또한 LPG자동차의 보급확대를 위해서는 충전소 확충이 절대적으로 필수적이다. 그러나 최근의 부천의 가스충전소 폭발사고, 아현동 도시가스 밸브기지 폭발사고와 같은 대형가스 폭발사고의 여파로 충전소 설치 부지확보에 큰 어려움을 격고있다. (중략)

  • Cause of Bucheon LPG refueling station accident could not be clearly verified because of opposite talking of men reponsible for the accident the accident, damaged by BLEVE and fire, and no systematic fire investigation. After two and half years, recently first judgement has been carried out. But competitive arguement is going on and first leak point of massive LPG will not be clearly identified with evidences acquired by now. This accident gave us many instructions and advices. Specially, massive LPG leak can result in pool fire and safety of underground-installed storage tank is proved by no damage in the strong BLEVE.

  • Type A LPG Carrier is the ship using the low temperature independent cargo tank separate from the hull, which has various support structures for laying independent tanks on the hull. In this paper, the direct strength analysis for the support structures has been performed through the direct load analysis, load transfer, stress analysis and strength assessment. Also, a rational modeling method of support structures has been proposed to obtain the dynamic load between the hull and the separate tank.
