ABSTRACT
In the paper, simulation of severe failure of fuel terminal is presented. Results of the simulation are compared to the real situation, that took place on 11th December 2005 in Hertfordshire Oil Storage near the M1 motorway in England. That comparison shows how beneficial an accurate simulation of the accident is. Next, the risk analysis is presented. The Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) and the fault tree are methods that show possible cause of the accident. Using simulation, the course of action before and during failure could be traversed. That kind of research shows how important is to do the simulation before the accident occur and assess the possible consequences of the adverse situation. That simple method is significant to increase awareness of the fuel terminal workers and anyone who is related to the technical process safety.
