SAŽETAK: Prirodni plin danas se smatra najvećim izvorom energije potrebne stambenim područjima i industriji. Pogled na tehnologije kojima se Iran koristi otkriva da su plinovodi najbolji i najsigurniji način za distribuciju prirodnog plina u zemlji. Ovaj izvor energije, koji se ponekad naziva čistim gorivom, ima stratešku ulogu u opskrbi potrebne energije. S druge strane, opskrba gorivom mora biti stalna, ali i sigurna. Stoga se zaključuje da su potrebne odgovarajuće mjere za upravljanje rizicima od curenja, požara i eksplozija na ovakvim postrojenjima. Za postizanje toga cilja najpotrebnije je ustanoviti uzroke nesreća i ispitati pouzdanost. Nadalje, neizbježno se mora procijeniti vjerojatnost događanja nesreće na cjevovodima. Jedan od ključnih koraka u procesu vrednovanja rizika jest procjena vjerojatnosti mogućih nesreća. Članak se koristi FTA (fault tree analysis) metodologijom za proučavanje načina procjene vjerojatnosti nesreća na cjevovodima za prirodni plin. Nadalje, ponuđena je i nova metoda temeljena na pridruživanju težina stablu kvarova, a ‘what-if’ (što-ako) scenarij služi za utvrđivanje opasnosti pri transportu prirodnog plina od njegova glavnog izvora. Na osnovi rezultata studije predlaže se da se vjerojatnost događanja nesreća na cjevovodima za prirodni plin kontrolira tehničkim i sustavnim pristupom kojim se utvrđuju i kontroliraju uzroci tih nesreća.

Dual Fuel Diesel Engine (Mesin Bahan Bakar Ganda) merupakan mesin denganpemanfaatan dua bahan bakar dalam proses pembakarannya untuk memperoleh tenaga kerjapada mesin. Jenis bahan bakar yang digunakan meliputi bahan bakar Methane Gas (CH4)dan MGO (Marine Gas Oil). Methane (CH4) dihasilkan dari Vapour Cargo Tank LNG(Liquified Natural Gas). Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apa sajapenyebab tingginya suhu gas buang terhadap kinerja Dual Fuel Diesel Engine di MV.Tangguh Palung dengan menggunakan metode analisis data Fault Tree Analysis. Darianalisis data penelitian di hasilkan beberapa rumusan masalah yaitu, faktor-faktor yangdapat menyebabkan tingginya suhu gas buang pada Dual Fuel Diesel Engine adalahkurangnya suplai udara pembakaran dalam ruang pembakaran mesin, komposisipembakaran yang tidak sesuai antara bahan bakar minyak dan gas, serta suhu Engine Roomyang terlalu panas. Dampak yang di timbulkan adalah kerusakan pada komponen-komponenpermesinan dan penurunan kinerja dari Dual Fuel Diesel Engine. Untuk mengatasipenurunan kerja pada Dual Fuel Diesel Engine adalah dengan melaksanakan perawatan danperbaikan pada setiap komponen permesinan yang mengalami masalah dan kerusakan sesuaidengan Running Hours dan Instruction Manual Book.

In order to apply the Reliability Based Design and Assessment (RBDA) methodology to evaluate the equipment impact on the onshore natural gas transmission pipelines in China, a research project was undertaken by China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Corporation (CPPE) based on the framework developed by C-FER Technologies (C-FER) in “Guidelines for Reliability Based Design and Assessment of Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines” (sponsored by PRCI). The objective of the project was to collect native data and calibrate the probability models[1] in order to make it suitable for the situations in China where there is dense population and many newly-built high pressure and large diameter pipelines. The equipment impact model consists of two components: a) the impact probability model which calculates the frequency of mechanical interference by excavation equipment; and b) the failure model which calculates the probability of failure in a given impact. A detailed survey was undertaken in 2012 in order to collect the data required to calculate the impact frequency and the load applied by an excavator to a pipeline. The survey data for impact frequency calculation was gathered based on 19,300km of transmission pipelines from 4 operating companies in China. They reflect current prevention practices and their effectiveness. The frequencies of basic events summarized in this survey used to calculate the probabilities of the fault tree are generally agreement with the data summarized in PRCI’s report. The impact frequencies calculated by the fault tree under typical prevention measures are 400%, 200%, 20% and 0% higher than that in PR-244-9910 report for class 1, class 2, class 3 and class 4 areas respectively, which is due to dense population and more construction activities. Bucket digging forces of 321 types of excavators from 20 manufacturers were gathered. The survey data of the forces are slightly higher than that in the PR-244-9729 report as a whole due to the increase in mechanical efficiency of excavators in recent years. The excavator maximum quasi-static load model was calibrated correspondingly. Equipment impact probability calculation and model sensitivity analysis results are described to present several characteristics of onshore transmission natural gas pipelines in China.
