The hydrocracking unit is a Class A fire hazard device, which can be susceptible to fire and explosion accidents due to equipment failure. Therefore, it is essential to identify and quantitatively analyze the risk factors. In this paper, qualitative HAZOP, steady-state simulation, dynamic simulation and FTA are combined. Taking process flow of the absorbing-stabilizing system of an actual hydrocracking unit in a refining company as an example, and the quantitative risk analysis is carried out for the deviation of "high column pressure" of the absorption and desorption column and "high column temperature" of the naphtha stabilisation column. With the help of Aspen Plus software, the steady-state and dynamic simulation under dangerous conditions is carried out, and the probability of the consequences of the dangerous accident is calculated by FTA method. The results show that this method can help experts understand the propagation process of the accident, master the safety response time of the personnel, which is conducive to the prevention and timely treatment of accidents, and effectively improve the intrinsic safety level of the hydrocracking units.
