Background: Economic consequence analysis is vital for recognizing pipeline comprehensive risk analysis and emergency response planning. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to estimate economic loss due to fire and explosion in petrochemical feed and product pipelines. Materials and Methods:The present study which performed on 47 pipelines of a petrochemical special zone, pertinent pipeline selected by chemical energy potential, flow rate and capital density. Pipeline hazard factor and material factor were determined, and fire and explosion index (F&EI) was calculated. After determination of F&EI, the area of exposure and replacement value in exposure area was determined. Finally, actual maximum probable property damage and business interruption were computed. Results: In the fire and explosion, radius of exposure in adjacent of pipeline was 41.5 meter, and damage factor was 0.87. On the other hand, actual maximum probable property damage was $ M 3.9, and business interruption was $ M 767. Conclusions: Since, Butadiene pipeline has the highest grade of risk in which the degree of fire and explosion is severe, appropriate control actions are required to reduce the risks. Therefore, considering the economic costs and consequences, a comprehensive risk analysis and emergency response planning is highly important for the Petrochemical feed pipelines.

“…The existing methodologies that are used in comparison are Khan and Amyotte [11], Khan and Haddara [3], Bernatik and Libisova [41], and IAEA-TECDOC-727 [42]. The strength of the overall consequence estimation is likely to vary due to the losses considered, type of estimation (qualitative, semi-quantitative or quantitative), potential to exploit the information to estimate the losses, and consideration of uncertainty in the estimation of overall consequence.…”

“…However, more than 20% of overall consequence is contributed by rerun column section in case of all consequence methodologies. Although the extractive distillation column section was ranked as the second highest hazardous section by Bernatik and Libisova [41], IAEA-TECDOC-727 [42], and the proposed methodology, the percentage contribution towards overall consequence by this section in these three methodologies varies as 25%, 19%, and 17%, respectively. Khan and Amyotte [11] ranks storage and slop drums as the most hazardous, i.e.…”
