Detonation of a weapon or other explosive inside a typical building produces blast waves that propagate throughout the building. For most office-type interior construction, that propagation requires the failure of the lightweight partition walls generally constructed of wood or metal studs with gypsum sheathing. In the course of that failure and subsequent interaction of the blast wave with the wall materials, the wave is distinctly altered.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
As high hazard facilities, biofuels sites should focus on developing a fire protections strategy informed by performance-based analysis so strategies implemented meet the unique challenges found at each facility.
