Abstract
The risk analysis plays an important role in the risk management process. Its objective is to
identify significant adverse consequences, then assess their severity in order to decide on measures to control
the risk. Our study involves conducting a risk analysis related to an un-stabilized naphtha separator ball from
the Topping unit located at the Skikda refinery. We applied the HAZOP approach to identify accident
scenarios that could be generated by this hazardous equipment. The modeling of the consequences of the
chosen phenomenon, which is the BLEVE, was carried out using the PHAST software.
