Vapour Cloud Explosion

Explosion a confined vapour cloud explosion (CVCE) can result from ignition of vapour within a building or equipment a boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE) can result when unvented containers of flammable chemicals burst with explosive violence as a result of the build-up of internal pressure unconfmed vapour cloud explosion (UVCE) can result from ignition of a very large vapour or gas/air cloud. [Pg.178]

Confined vapour cloud explosion gas or vapour burns in a confined volume and rapid expansion of the combustion products is restrained until failure of the container or building occurs. [Pg.146]

A Category 3 incident is an emergency of major proportions. It may have escalated from a smaller incident or arise instantaneously, e.g. due to a confined or unconfined vapour cloud explosion or a catastrophic failure of a storage vessel. The response from the emergency services will again need to be predetermined by pre-planning. Extensive evacuation of the general public may be required. [Pg.292]

Unconfined vapour cloud explosion a large flammable gas or vapour-air cloud burns in free space with sufficient rapidity to generate pressure waves, which propagate through the cloud and into the surrounding atmosphere. Such events are extremely rare. [Pg.215]
