TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Fuzzy Bayesian estimation and consequence modeling of the domino effects of methanol storage tanks JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Pouyakian, Mostafa A1 - Laal, Fereydoon A1 - Jafari, Mohammad Javad A1 - Nourai, Farshad A1 - Kabir, Sohag SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - In this study, a Fuzzy Bayesian network (FBN) approach was proposed to analyze the domino effects of pool fire in storage tanks. Failure probabilities were calculated using triangular fuzzy numbers, the combined Center of area (CoA)/Sum-Product method, and the BN approach. Consequence modeling, probit equations, and Leaky-Noisy OR (L-NOR) gates were used to analyze the domino effects, and modify conditional probability tables (CPTs). Methanol storage tanks were selected to confirm the practical feasibility of the suggested method. Then the domino probability using bow-tie analysis (BTA), and FBN in the first and second levels was compared, and the Ratio of Variation (RoV) was used for sensitivity analysis. The probability of the domino effect in the first and second levels (FBN) was 0.0071472631 and 0.0090630640, respectively. The results confirm that this method is a suitable tool for analyzing the domino effects and using FBN and L-NOR gate is a good way for assessing the reliability of tanks.
