Fire Design Accidental Load challenges

Definition: Fire DAL is a flux (kW/m2) and duration

- Flux is given in guidelines or from CFD models

- Duration needs to be decided based on actual process

- different strategies:

Approaches to set DAL

- Scenario based:

- Credible scenario picked from QRA

- Worst case scenario picked from QRA

- Probabilistic approach:

- Different x-axis strategies

- Different levels of detail

Different application areas needs different approaches

- For general DAL spec

- PFP optimization on structure

- PFP optimization on piping and equipment

Evolution in approach and knowledge

Highlights of DNVs advanced procedure

Includes dynamic, 3D effects of all possible fires.

- Each fire described by one number: Max dose received

Fire analysis with same level of detail as NORSOK

explosion analysis

Probabilistic fire analysis is used in optimization of:

- Design Accidental Load (DAL) for fires – also duration

- Flare; ESD, blowdown

- PFP on structure and pipes

- Fire/explosion dividers, and arrangement

Why Probabilistic and CFD?

Optimization of mitigation

Consistent quantitative method

- All areas protected to the same risk level

Fire and explosion risk presented on the same format

- Opposing mitigating measures

Research show large fires can give very high heat

fluxes

- Captures only with CFD

Why CFD and FE fire model?

Research gives (Ragnar Wighus 2008):

- Heat flux most dependent on size of flames

- Heat flux also dependent on amount of equipment

and turbulence generating objects

- Oil (and wood) can give same heat flux as gas

- More PFP gives more heat – vicious cycle

Generalized fire loads can be too conservative wrt

fire protection – not explosion

Background for development of probabilistic fire analysis

Standards and codes gives deterministic, constant fireloads

- Ex. Jet fires > 2 kg/s, use 350 kW/m2

- ”Average maxvalue” is often conservative

Development of NORSOK Z013-G procedure explosion 1997

DNV started to develop this probabilistic fire method in 2001 with Statoil

- Investigate important effects

- Develop a procedure

- Test it on a real platform

FABIG Newsletter 44, 2005 describes the first procedure

FABIG TN 11 2009 Appendix A describes the procedure

ExpressFire program developed 2006

PFPro developed 2007

Apply procedure in many projects

Initial Fire Risk Assessment

Coarse screening to find high risk cases

Risk is represented by frequency and mass of HC in segment

Use high risk cases as representative in CFD model

CFD fire modeling

Use parameters from cases with highest risk (composition, etc.)

Obtain effects of varying leak rates

Model impinging and non impinging jets, and pools

- Obtain effects of varying jet direction

- Obtain effects of varying leak location

Gives two main results:

- Gives max heat loads for all fire case as a function of time: Input to fire risk analysis

- Real 3D dynamic heat load fields: Input to Structure response analysis

Fire risk analysis principles

Exceedance curve is based on one representative number describing

severity for each case

Rank all fires according to this one number

This number is on x-axis on exceedance plot

Y- axis is the accumulated frequency

Use separate curves for oil and gas

Where total curve crosses 10-4 per year is the DAL fire

The target also decides the x-axis number used

For structure, the total received heat during scenario is used

Can be described by a dose

When the DAL dose is found, it must be converted back to a flux and

duration.

Find dose for each case. Integrate in each CFD cell and use max:

- Dose: 𝑫𝑽 = 𝑸 𝒕 𝒅𝒕 (J/m2), where Q(t) (kW/m2) is heat flux

Find fire impact frequency for each case

- Impact freq. = leak frequency*ignition probability*impact probability

Simplified FRA assessment

Step 1: Initial fire risk assessment

- List of scenarios with associated fire frequency (leak frequency, ESD/BD failure probabilities

and ignition probabilities)

- List and Locations of fire scenarios (coordinates) and targets

Step 2: Simplified Fire consequence modelling

- Duration based on

- Leak profile calculations with cut-off 0.1 kg/s for jet fires, considering detection, isolation and BD

- Simple pool fire modelling considering size of pool and constant combustion rate per m2 for pool fires

- Apply generic heat flux peak load values from Table 1, NORSOK S-001, Edition 4

- Exposure assessed based on flame lengths calculated either with Phast or simplified

formulaes for jet fire length as function of release rate (depending on congestion and

obstacles)

Step 3: Fire risk assessment

- Coarse assessment by use of Excel calculating heat dose exposing each target from each

scenario case (leak size, ESD/BD failure case)

Step 4: Risk evaluation

- Fire dose exceedance plots and fire DAL heat dose and duration

Simplified fire consequence calculations

Leak profile example, after successful isolation and 30 sec delay BD

Flame lengths are estimated f.ex. by use of API RP 521, 1989 method

where Q is the leak rate and Hc is the heat of combustion (J/kg)

Summary – a consistent way of design

Advanced CFD/FE and probabilistic approach gives a more realistic and consistent

fire load than simplified methods

- Includes real fire effects which locally can be worse then averaged

- In general shorter fire durations

- Used for optimization of PFP

Fire exceedence plot is common intermediate result

- Max dose describes size of the fire by one number

- Gives the DAL fire and scenario to be used from CFD

- Gives the escalation probability to QRA

A consistent CFD, FE and probabilistic approach analysis can optimize all

mitigating measures

- Risk for fires and explosions can now be compared on the same detailed foundation

- Easier to make decisions about mitigating measures

- Firewalls and arrangement improved

Discussion

- Develop a NORSOK Z013 Probabilistic fire analysis procedure
