As well as known, fixed-roof tanks are vulnerable to fire and explosion accidents. To ensure the safe operation of atmospheric vertical fixed-roof storage tanks, it is essential to conduct fire and explosion risk assessments. In order to overcome the subjectivity of traditional analytic hierarchy process, improved analytic hierarchy process, and fuzzy fault tree analysis in the risk assessment of storage tank fire and explosion, a modified analytic hierarchy process was proposed in this paper. Meanwhile, the judgment matrix of modified analytic hierarchy process was constructed based on the optimized structure importance of the bottom event of the fault tree. Then, the weight factors of all indexes were calculated to evaluate the fire and explosion risk of the storage tank with fixed roof.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
