Flammability limit data are used in consequence studies to estimate the size, shape, mass, and explosion energy of a flammable cloud formed during the accidental release of a fuel. Thus the flammability limits of a fuel are critical parameters in consequence and risk analyses. However, significant discrepancies often exist between experimental flammability limit data for a fuel.
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.
