Abstract

The 2006 revision of the Fire Safety Analysis (FSA) manual is intended for use by propane plant owners or operators, consultants, authorities having jurisdiction (AHJs) and emergency response personnel. The manual addresses the process by which a FSA can be conducted for an LP-Gas facility containing one or more stationary ASME containers. The manual addresses a number of subjects, including: (1) A review of the product control measures required in the NFPA 58, "Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code", (2) Local conditions of hazards within the facility site, (3) Exposures to and from other properties, (4) Effectiveness of local fire brigades and local fire departments (5) Effective control of leakage, fire and exposure, and (6) Illustrative examples using four different sizes of typical LP-Gas facilities.
