Abstract:
Fire hazards caused by leakages in gas circulation lines are dangerous and pose a threat that results in a significant loss
of wealth, lives, and the environment. By adopting significant precautions, the risks of fire hazards can be reduced
effectively through the use of new technologies and preventive measurements of the system. In addition, the effects
of fire hazards due to leakage in gas circulation lines in the buildings as well as in the other systems can be assessed
to create the context of preventive measures for a fire protection system in a way to overcome the fire hazards in
gas circulation lines. The paper aims to review the effects of fire hazards due to leakage in gas circulation lines in
Bangladesh. It is noted that in Bangladesh during 2018-2019, the total gas distribution line in the Titas gas system was
measured as 13,138 km where the pressure-reducing system or gas riser was found as 1.2 million and the number of
customers was found as 2.866 million. In the system, the number of fire accidents that occurred was 208 in the
circulation system. Because of connecting the illegal gas lines and poor maintenance of the system, Bangladesh faces
significant fire hazards every year. To avoid this kind of problem, proper maintenance along with the varieties of
new technologies incorporating sensors and microcontrollers can be utilized.
