Abstract:

Physical evidence investigation was a necessary means and important link to identify the causes of hazardous chemical incidents. However, the manifestations of hazardous chemical incidents were often explosions and fires, which could easily trigger a domino effect, making physical evidence investigation somewhat difficult. In order to improve the efficiency of on-site inspections and reduce the occurrence of hazardous chemical incidents. MFA method was adopted to conduct on-site intelligence information analysis and explore the application value of MFA theoretical methods in the physical evidence inspection of hazardous chemical incidents based on specific cases. Based on "Jiangsu Xiangshui 3·21 serious Explosion Accident", "Material Flow Analysis Map" and "Hazardous Substance Distribution Map" were drawn for Tianjiayi Chemical Plant, and material flow analysis research was conducted on the involved enterprises. The results indicate that MFA can identify hazardous areas and substances, providing safety protection reference information for on-site inspectors. It can also provide scope and direction for extracting, inspecting, and identifying on-site physical evidence.

Key words: material flow analysis(MFA), hazardous chemical incidents, site inspection, explosion accident, technological process
