“…Holbrow et al [176] have given guidelines for estimating the vent areas for some linked systems based on the results of an experimental investigation. The following rules have been derived that can be applied up to vessel volumes of ∼20 m 3 : The venting area shall be divided between enclosures so that A D is the same in both enclosures.…”

“…An explosion due to a propagated flame may be more intense than the explosion due to a direct ignition, due to increased turbulence and a jet flame ignition; see Holbrow et al (1999) for guidance on containment and venting of explosions due to flame propagation. The installed protection system on each vessel should account for the possibility of explosion by flame propagation.…”

This paper proposes a new algorithm to compute the residual risk of failure of an explosion protection system on an industrial process plant. A graph theoretic framework is used to model the process. Both the main reasons of failure are accounted for, viz. hardware failure and inadequate protection even when the protection hardware functions according to specifications. The algorithm is shown to be both intuitive and simple to implement in practice. Its application is demonstrated with a realistic example of a protection system installation on a spray drier.
