Fire and explosion hazards associated with storage and transportation of flammable materials have been a matter of great interest in the recent times. There are numerous studies on pool fires, BLEVEs and fireballs of hydrocarbon fuels, whereas BLEVEs and fireballs of organic peroxides (OP) are not investigated in detail yet. Fireball is a scenario that can occur when an OP filled drum is subjected to a surrounding fire. This presentation tries to extend the first investigations of OP BLEVEs presented on IGUS EOS Meeting 2015 in Ottawa. The following aspects are shown: Experimental investigation of a fired drum filled with 200 L DTBP; analyses of flame characteristics, e.g. temperatures, mass burning rates, SEP, thermal radiation properties and an overall comparison with DTBP pool fires; presentation of recommended safety distances.
