Chlorine release, ALOHA modeling, Behavior-Based Safety (BBS), industrial hazard evaluation, chemical storage safety.Abstract
This Project considers the consequence and risk models for accidental releases of toxic or flammable chemicals to the atmosphere. This study includes an overview on how the Chlorine Explosion could be carried out in thermal power station for discharge, atmospheric dispersion (including pools) and flammable effects (e.g. pool fires, jet fires, BLEVE). A wide range of release scenarios is considered including sub-cooled liquid releases, superheated liquid releases, vapor releases, un-pressurized and pressurized releases and a wide range of hazardous chemicals is considered (e.g. Chlorine etc). The objective of this project is to find out the Hazards and Risk in Storage of Chlorine gas. Using the ALOHA hazard assessment Techniques to calculate the risk assessment and ensure to developed preventive action and control measures of fire and explosion hazard
