Landucci, G. (author), Molag, M. (author), Cozzani, V. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)The improvement of passive fire protection of storage vessels is a key factor to enhance safety among the LPG distribution chain. A thermal and mechanical model based on finite elements simulations was developed to assess the behaviour of full size tanks used for LPG storage and transportation in fire engulfment scenarios. The model was...article 2009

Landucci, G. (author), Molag, M. (author), Reinders, J. (author), Cozzani, V. (author), TNO Bouw en Ondergrond (author)Two large-scale diesel pool fire engulfment tests were carried out on LPG tanks protected with intumescing materials to test the effectiveness of thermal coatings in the prevention of hot BLEVE accidental scenarios in the road and rail transport of LPG. A specific test protocol was defined to enhance reproducibility of experimental tests. The...article 2009

Paltrinieri, N. (author), Landucci, G. (author), Molag, M. (author), Bonvicini, S. (author), Spadoni, G. (author), Cozzani, V. (author)The potential reduction of risk in LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) road transport due to the adoption of passive fire protections was investigated. Experimental data available for small scale vessels fully engulfed by a fire were extended to real scale road and rail tankers through a finite elements model. The results of mathematical simulations...article 2009

Marsanich, K. (author), Barontini, F. (author), Cozzani, V. (author), Creemers, A.F.L. (author), Kersten, R.J.A. (author), Prins Maurits Laboratorium TNO (author)Article 2 of European Community Directive 96/82/EC (known as 'Seveso-II' Directive) also requires consideration in the plant inventory of the dangerous substances 'which it is believed may be generated in the loss of control of an industrial chemical process'. The present study was directed to the further development and assessment of procedures...article 2004
