Original abstract

This article discusses issues of risk in the production of biogas from primarily farm wastes. Biogas production is becoming widespread in Europe, and the number of accidents in these plants, both large-scale and small, is increasing. Recent accident experience is summarized here. Compared with the petrochemical industry, damage levels in biogas production are low, but nonetheless worthy of increased application of modern safety and risk methodology.

Czech abstract

Tento článek popisuje rizika při výrobě bioplynu z převážně zemědělských odpadů. Výroba bioplynu je v Evropě velmi rozšířená a počet nehod v těchto jednotkách se zvyšuje. Ve srovnání s petrochemickým průmyslem, závažnost následků při nehodě na výrobě bioplynu je nízká, ale přesto využití moderních metod identifikace nebezpečí a analýzy rizik jsou na místě.
