Boiling liquid expanding vapour (BLEVE) during unloading liquid petroleum gas (LPG)

Published on 21/08/24 318 Views

A leakage occurred during unloading of a truck containing liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in a chemical plant. The LPG caught fire and heated the truck, resulting in a boiling liquid expanding vapour cloud explosion (BLEVE).

Ask yourself and your crew:

  • How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
  • What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
  • How do we know the risk controls/barriers are working?
  • What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers, or the way we work?
