Modelling of Hydrocarbon Fires Offshore, Final Report
The serious consequences of a fire in an offshore platform have been focused during the last decades. People living on top of a process plant, with complex equipment processing highly flammable hydrocarbons in a rough environment must be protected against fire in the best possible way. The important fire characteristics predicted in the report are: fuel burning rates of liquid pool fires, both in the open and in various grades of confinement; transient temperature development of a confined and semi-confined liquid pool fire; maximum temperature of the same fire; maximum heat flux to objects engulfed by and outside a liquid pool fire, both in the open and in various grades of confinement; heat flux to walls and ceiling of a fire compartment; length of flames of open pool fires, with and without wind influence; and the length of flames emerging from an opening in a fire compartment. The purpose of the predictions is to make safer design of platforms, and to specify optimum fire protection for structures and equipment. The prediction will also provide better input to emergency planning and rescue operations.
