| dc.description.abstract | PT.X is a manufacturing company specializing in the field of manufacture of boiler
which has a working equipment and material that has a high level risk of fires as
LPG. Secondary data indicates PT.X have four LPG storage tank. The use of LPG for
the production process at PT.X as much as 168.435 kg in 2011. This research study
about identification of the hazards of fire and explosion so that losses can be
prevented and minimized. Method of this research is descriptive quantitative using
Dow’s Fire and Explosion Index because this method can quantitatively assess how
bigger the danger and loss that suffer by the company in case of fire or explosion in
the LPG storage tank. The research result is that the LPG storage tank process unit
at the level of the most severe safety hazards (severe) with radius of exposure are
43,01 m and the area of exposure are 5808,56 m². Beside that the value of the area of
exposure are Rp 784.155.600.000,00, damage factor are 0,82917, base maximum
probable property damage are Rp 650.198.298.900,00, loss control credit factor are
0,5 and actual maximum probable property damage are Rp 325.099.149.500,00.
Advice given is to do the risk assessment prior to selection of the location of a unit to
the location of units of distance considerations tailored to the level of danger, the
addition of fire protection at the site of LPG storage tanks, and if possible do more
research on the analysis of potential fire and explosion at LPG storage tank.. | en_US |
