Disasters in the Hungarian Hydrocarbon Industry, their Lessons Learned and Ways of Prevention, Part II

Abstract

In the second part of the study the authors show that because of the high fire and explosion danger in hydrocarbon-processing plants, it is an emphasised area of disaster management. The accidents that happen during petroleum mining and in the plants do not elapse without a trace, they leave a great impact on the environment,
the technology, and the operation. The authors’ opinions are strengthened based on the examined cases concerning that in order to avoid bigger industrial disasters the authorities, the developers, and the operators together should always be one step ahead of the occurrence of disasters, using what they have learned from earlier
accidents, and improving the complex methods of preparation and prevention.
