Missiles ejection

Various equipment items can be concerned by an explosion or by a pressure increase causing their burst with missile(s) ejection: ·         The BLEVE of a pressure vessel can generate missiles. ·         Explosive phenomena can occur in process equipment and cause the projection of fragments, for instance, a run-away in a reactor. ·         Atmospheric or cryogenic storage tanks can also produce missiles (tank explosion). It can mainly occur in the case of an accumulation of flammable vapours under the tank roof. ·         Mechanical bursting of pressure storage due, for example, to a increase of the pressure in the tank.
