This paper presents a study for a facility where a deflagration of flammable vapors takes place, and the generated pressure and temperature transients are analyzed to evaluate the pressure differentials induced on the various components of the facility to assesses their structural integrity. The temperature profiles are also analyzed to assess the qualification of the equipment that is required to operate during and after such an accident.
