    This document provides an overview of quantitative risk assessment (QRA). [1] QRA objectively estimates the likelihood and consequences of hazardous events, such as risks to life, injury, environmental damage, and structural impacts. [2] It is recommended for facilities storing flammable gases, liquids, or toxic chemicals. [3] QRA requires inputs like storage quantities, weather data, and operating parameters to model release scenarios and output metrics like expected fatalities, pressure waves, and toxic dispersion distances.

    Technical Details on

    Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)


    By: Efficaz Consulting & Solution
    December 2020
    What is the Objective of this study?

    To estimate likelihood and consequences of


    hazardous events quantitatively (not subjectively)

    To envisage the risk to peoples life, injury,


    environment damage and affect on structure
    around the building.
    Who shall go for QRA Study?
     Client with
     Diesel Storage in Tank farms or

     LPG storage in bulk or

     Gas Storage of Chlorine or Ammonia or any other flammable gas or


    toxic gas

     Flammable or Toxic Liquid Tank farm or

     Solvent or Chemical Tank farm


    What are the basic inputs required for
    QRA?
     Quantity of Chemical/Solvent/gas/fuel storage

     Type of Storage (bullet, sphere, vertical tank etc..)

     Available Protection Systems

     Population Data

     Weather Data

     Release Size

     Operating Parameters

     Emergency shutdown philosophy


    What will be output of QRA?
     Expected Fatalities

     Pressure Wave affects to Building and Surrounding

     Toxic Release (how many KMs at what intensity)

     Radiation Energy of Fire (how many meters at what intensity)

     Different Couture in Map


    How this inputs give quantitative
    results?

     Using a Software like PHAST it will quantity by using the


    inbuilt library of gases, chemicals, mixtures etc..

     PHAST is developed by DNV GL and it is accepted software


    globally.

     It can be done using other software also

     A Safety Expert, shall conduct this study based on realistic


    inputs to get accurate output. Expertise is key here.
    What are the benefits of QRA?
     Help the management team to decide on

     Onsite Emergency Plan


     Offsite Emergency Plan
     Escape routes
     Control Room Location
     Fire Fighting and other essential building locations
     Environmental issues identification
     Mitigation Plans
     Transfer of Risk (Insurance)
     Capital Expenditure on Safety
     SOP review
     Fire or Explosion Proof Walls
     Inter distance
    From where the scenario will be
    considered?
    Credible scenario is selected from

     Storage Tanks
     Rectors
     Other Process Vessels
     Pipelines
     Other equipments

    Glimpse of counters will be demonstrated below


    Toxic Dispersion vs Distance
    Toxic Dispersion Contour
