Effects of floating beads on the flash/fire temperatures and occurrence of boilover
Abstract
Effects of floating beads on the flash/fire temperatures and occurrence of boilover were studied. To avoid crisis such as huge crude oil fires and boilover in oil and chemical complexes after great earthquakes, floating beads have been developed. Therefore, in order to know effects of beads, experimental study was conducted in small scale pan (Diameter: up to 0.3m). Addition of beads into pan increased the fire/flash points, and delayed and minimized boilover. So addition of small beads into oil tank is one of countermeasure against incidents after great earthquake.
