One scenario considered for all is Catastrophic Failure, which is the worst case (WC) and frequency of which is very rare in the lifetime of the plant. Hence most credible accident scenarios (MCA) are also considered, primarily leaks from tanks or vessels. Normally all vessels or tanks have following connections 1. Inlet Pipe, Outlet Pipe, Level indication connections, Vent pipe, Minimum Flow line(if pump is at outlet), Pressure indication connection 2. Leak in the vessel or leak from the flange joints of these connections is possible. The leak through flange failure is considered from 50% of flange perimeter and accordingly equivalent area is calculated. This area is approximated to hole of 50mm or 2 diameter. The small bore pipes less than 2 is considered full bore leak. 3. The atmospheric tanks catastrophic failure is considered as worst case scenario 4. The hydrogenation reactor catastrophic failure is considered as worst case scenario for reactor / process area 7.10.1 Selection of Initiating Events And Scenarios Following event tree is followed for deciding toxic and/or flammable effects: Siddhi Green Excellence Pvt.

Figure - Locations of selected scenarios 7.11 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS Hazardous substance on release can cause damage on a large scale in the environment. The extent of damage is dependent upon the nature of the release and the physical state of the material. It is necessary to visualize the consequences and the damages caused by such releases. The quantification of the damage can be done by means of various models, which can further be related in terms of injuries and damage to exposed population and buildings. Software used for consequence analysis for proposed project of M/s. Pidilite Industries Ltd. at Dahej - III : ALOHA (AREAL LOCATIONS OF HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES) Is part of the CAMEO suite developed by US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), ALOHA is an atmospheric dispersion model used for evaluating releases of hazardous chemical vapors, including toxic gas clouds, fires, and explosions. Using input about the release, ALOHA generates a threat zone estimate. A threat zone is the area where a hazard (such as toxicity, flammability, thermal radiation, or damaging overpressure) is predicted to exceed a userspecified level of concern. Threat zones can also be plotted on maps with MARPLOT to display the location of facilities storing hazardous materials and vulnerable locations (such as hospitals and schools). Specific information about these locations can be extracted from CAMEO information modules to help make decisions about the degree of hazard posed. In order to assess the damage, the damage criteria have to be first defined. There are three principle types of exposures to hazardous effects Heat radiation from a jet, pool fire, a flash fire or a BLEVE Explosion, Toxic effects, from toxic materials or toxic combustion products A basis for the weather conditions (Temperature, wind speed etc.) is chosen for input in these models.

7.11.1 Frequencies Estimation: The risk is computed as product of consequence of event and frequency of occurring of the event.as part risk assessment frequency estimation is one of the activity.in literature and published guidelines the frequencies of catastrophic failure of various equipments are published. For this assessment the used set of frequencies is taken from Dutch Purple book,2008. Also for credible scenarios the frequencies for leaks from equipments or pipelines are available in the same source as above. For credible scenario the frequency of leak event is calculated as summation of frequencies of each element in the considered vessel.

Control room designed for blast resistance. 7.11.2 Assumptions Common for all Scenarios Following atmospheric conditions are considered. Atmospheric Conditions Inputs Maximum Temperature Deg.C 41.5 Minimum Temperature Deg.C 11.5 Maximum Wind speed m/s 11.2 Minimum Wind speed m/s 2.1 Average Wind speed m/s 3.6-5.7 Wind Direction From South West Humidity % 70 Ground Roughness Urban or Forest Cloud Cover % 50 As minimum wind speed 2.1 is only present at less than 1% of year, for atmospheric stability class 3m/s speed is selected and accordingly D class is default value by ALOHA. But to get more stable weather condition, this stability class is overridden to E. Hence at lower temperature to analyze for more stable atmospheric condition stability class 3E is considered. For higher temperatures i.e. day time condition the atmospheric stability class is taken as D and wind speed is taken as 6m/s. The analysis will be done for both cases. For any particular case if other stability class is chosen, it is included in its detail analysis. The transfer of chemicals from storage tanks to process area/reactor is by means of centrifugal pumps. The discharge pressure of pumps is assumed in range of 4 7 barg.for calculation the pump discharge pressure is taken as 4 barg. For credible scenario the leak may be from chemical transfer lines or from pump seals. The leak may be from pump suction piping also. But for conservative results the leak is assumed from discharge piping or seals as pressure will be higher in this case In case of credible scenario, the release is from 10mm hole and release duration is 10 mins. This time includes detection, response and isolation during event. This assumption is based on the DCS control system, emergency shutdown system and leak detection systems are available in the plant and discussion with plant personnel. Following points considered, Pump start / stop facility is available from DCS (Control Room) Sufficient indications and Alarms are configured for effective monitoring Interlocks and Emergency Shutdown valves are provided which isolates the required stream through ON/OFF valves or stops the pump. Siddhi Green Excellence Pvt. Ltd., Ankleshwar Page 210 of 252
This time includes detection, response and isolation during event. The discharge through leak is modeled as liquid flow through sharp edged orifice and calculated using following equation. Q = (A*Kd*Sqrt(P1-P2/Sp.Gravity))/11.78.(Ref : API520 Liquid Discharge eqn) Q = Volumetric Flow, lit/min A = Orifice Area, mm2 Kd = Discharge coefficient P1 = Upstream pressure, kpa P2 = Downstream pressure, kpa For underground flammable storages the leak is assumed outside this u/g storage area and which do not have any bund wall or dike. Except hydrogenation reactor, all scenarios will be analyzed in respective pumping locations in storage area. The hydrogen cylinder leak scenario is considered in, cylinder bank area. All storages at atmospheric pressure and temperature. At respective class atmospheric temperatures, flash point is higher and chemical may not ignite. But to assess the radiation effect at such situations, the radiation effect is calculated assuming burning is started due to other ignition source. For chemicals having flash point more than 45degC,the effect is analsyed only for class D. The sulfuric acid is 98% conc and not oleum. The consequences of toxic material are calculated up to the LC 50 / LD 50 concentration for catastrophic failure and Maximum credible scenario. (If LC50 value is not available, then whichever value is available from IDLH,ERPG,AGCL) For thermal radiation the distances for radiation level 37.5 kw/m2, 4kw/m2 and 1.6kw/m2 are calculated. For vapor cloud explosion the distance for overpressure of 0.5psi is calculated Water network is provided all along the plant with hydrants, monitors, risers and spray system. water system comprises of FW storage of 3000m3 and pumping system. The pumping system consists of Jockey pump,3main FW pumps ( 2 Diesel Engine driven + 1 Electric motor driven) Specific assumptions are mentioned in the detailed description of each scenario in following sections.

7.11.4 Inference of Consequence analysis 7.11.4.1 Aboveground Storage Area The catastrophic failure of atmospheric storage tanks of Styrene, Aniline and MEK is analyzed. The frequency of catastrophic failure of atmospheric tanks is 5 x 10E-6. The major consequence is pool fire. In case of catastrophic failure of tank the released liquid will be contained inside the dyke and pool is formed. The maximum radiation from pool fire is estimated from MEK fire.mek is stored at sufficiently spaced from other storage area and process area. The 4.0 kw/m2 radiations from MEK fire (53m) will not cross MEK storage area boundary. In case of Styrene the 4.0 kw/m2 radiation distance is 45m. Both these tanks are equipped with medium velocity FW spray system. In case of Aniline the 4.0 kw/m2 radiation distance is 30m As most credible scenario, which are calculated for all reactants and raw material transfer lines can take place at storage area as well as reactor / process area. The frequency of such leaks is 5 x 10E-6. The major hazards from all these flammable leaks are pool fire. The radiation experienced is maximum in case of MIBK. The 4.0 kw/m2 radiations from MIBK fire will be experienced upto 25m. Aniline release will pose toxic hazard. The analysis shows that the toxic hazard from the Aniline release is not significant. 7.11.4.2 Reactor Area The catastrophic reactor failure analysed are resulting in explosion and release of flammable material like Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK). In case of explosion the 0.5 psig (which may cause shattering of glasses) overpressure will be experienced up to 25m. The release of flammable solvent from the reactor during its explosion will create fireball. The fireball diameter is estimated as 112m.But as the reactors are located in process building the extent of fire ball may be limited within this building. This fire will last for 8 secs.the 37.5 kw/m2 radiation will be experienced in the process building for these 8 secs. The hydrogenation reactors are generally equipped with safety systems to take care for runaway reactions, over-temperature and over-pressure scenarios. For this temperature, pressure indications with alarm and trip interlocks are used. The frequency of reactor failure is 5 x 10E-6 and ignition is almost instantaneously due to hydrogen. As most credible scenario, which are calculated for all reactants and raw material transfer lines can take place at storage area as well as reactor / process area. The frequency of such leaks is 5 x 10E-6. The major hazards from all these flammable leaks are pool fire. The radiation experienced is maximum in case of MEK. The toxic hazards from the materials handled in the process area are not significant. 7.11.4.3 Underground Storage Area The underground storage will eliminate the possibility of catastrophic failure of storage vessels.the most credible scenarios considered in this area are 10mm leak from pump discharge lines of all flammable reactants, solvents. The frequency of such leaks is 5 x 10E-6. The major hazards from all these flammable leaks are pool fire. The radiation experienced is maximum in case of Toluene. The 4.0 kw/m2 radiations from Toluene fire will be experienced upto 29m 7.11.4.4 HCL / Sulfuric Acid Storage Area As most credible scenario, the released is analysed as 10mm leak from individual chemical pump discharge line to reactor / Storage. The frequency of such leaks is 5 x 10E-6.For oleum the frequency is increased by 10 due to corrosive nature 7.11.5 Risk to Individuals from a Major Release The risk to health to an individual at a specific point in the direction of the plume or heat radiation is dependent on a number of factors, the most important being: o the direction of the wind when the release takes place; and o mitigating factors, such as whether the individual might be indoors or out of doors. In the case of the wind direction, the plume width may be represented by the sector of a circle having an included angle of 15 o. In such a case, on the basis that wind direction arise, it is possible to approximate that an individual present in a single location for one year may be exposed for only 15/360ths of that year, or 4 x 10-2 Siddhi Green Excellence Pvt. Ltd., Ankleshwar Page 215 of 252
No In reality, it is unlikely that a person would be present at any one location in the open air for 100% of the year. Allowing for periods at work or indoors, a risk reduction factor of 3 is reasonably conservative.(three shift operation is considered) Also the fatality % due to radiation is assumed at 50%.This assumption is based on the reposne time and the duration of fire in our case. We have two major fires,one is due to hydrogenation reactor failure in reactor area and other is due to solvent (MEK) tank failure. The r eactor fire will last for 8 sec and for storage tank the response time is 2 mins to evacuate persons from the area. The overall consequence of the mitigation due to wind direction and indoor/outdoor location would be the product of these three factors, namely 1.33 x 10-2. The overall chance of an individual being affected at a specific location by exposure to the radiation would be as indicated in following table. From the table it is clear that for catastrophic failure the distances for 50% fatality is more than MCS scenarios.

To avoid runaway normally, o The safety systems which will detect high temperature and pressure which are provided by licensor, shall be maintained and tested with fixed maintenance schedule Siddhi Green Excellence Pvt. Ltd., Ankleshwar Page 216 of 252
o The cooling water system should be provided emergency supply and auto cut in provision for standby cooling water pump should be provided. o Alarms and interlock can be provided on cooling water side to detect any failure as this is direct measurement To minimize damage once runaway occurs, o Safety valve on the reactor should be designed to take care runaway reaction scenario or as per licensor s recommendation. o The steel structure and safety interlock cabling within process area should be fireproofed Spiral wound gaskets are recommended for hydrocarbon lines. Screwed fittings should not be used except for stainless steel instrumentation. water network providing hydrants and monitors should be around reactor building/ process area. Also provision of hydrants on elevated structures and buildings to be ensured. proofing requirement of structure and equipment supports needs to be analysed and fireproofing to be provided accordingly. The process area should be classified area for selection of electrical equipments and instruments. The construction and fabrication should be as per standard codes and practices ( ASME /ANSI / IS etc) as the failure frequencies will be valid for such construction. If there is some deviation then the frequencies may increase. 7.12.2 Small Release of flammable solvents / chemicals (Most Credible scenarios) Small flammable solvent fires can be extinguished with extinguishing powder. Spiral wound gaskets are recommended for hydrocarbon lines. Screwed fittings should not be used except for stainless steel instrumentation. On long pipelines of solvents, thermal relief valves should be fitted, the relief valve must vent to a safe location, e.g. the storage tank as this is liquid relief. water network providing hydrants and monitors should be around reactor building/ process area. Also provision of hydrants on elevated structures and buildings to be ensured. proofing requirement of structure and equipment supports needs to be analysed and fireproofing to be provided accordingly. 7.12.3 Storage Area The gas detection will provide early information of the leak and it will provide some time to take corrective action (isolation, stopping of pump etc) to avoid the incident.consider placing gas detectors at strategic places in storage area. The regular inspection of the FW spray system and FW network along the storage area should be done with schedule. For sulfuric acid and HCL consider placing SO3 and HCL gas detectors covering possible potential leak sources. Ensure safety shower and Eye wash is placed in Sulfuric acid and HCL acid storage area. 7.12.4 General The plant handles flammable materials like Toluene, Styrene, methyl ethyl ketone. The handling of these materials requires control of spark, ignition source, and open flame. This is ensured by selecting equipments as per Hazardous area classification analysis. Ensure that all electrical installations and instruments are as per hazardous area classification(ref IS 5571 & 5572) Critical switches and alarms shall always be kept online especially in reactor area. Provide training for employees in the procedures established for their operating and maintenance functions. Also a refresher training program at specific intervals is to be prepared to keep operators updated. Shut off and isolation valves shall be easily approachable in emergencies A wind direction pointer shall also be installed at cavern site so that in an emergency the wind direction can be directly seen and downwind population cautioned Siddhi Green Excellence Pvt. Ltd., Ankleshwar Page 217 of 252
Smoking shall be prohibited in designated locations. Work likely to involve flame or sparks, such as, welding or burning, shall be performed only after the area is checked for no presence of flammable material and other safety arrangement as required. A proper training shall be given to the staff to handle any emergency situation and use of PPE during the work and emergency. Self-Contained Breathing apparatus (SCBA) shall be well maintained for emergency handling. Personal protective equipments to be provided to all the employees related to the type of work and hazard associated Mutual aid from neighboring industries to be made available whenever need arises. To check preparedness of workers for emergency control, mock drills on regular basis and disaster drills as per factory inspectorate guidelines to be conducted. 7.13 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN The proponent M/s. Lanxess India Pvt. Ltd. is an established international group and as regards the proposed expansion of Antioxidants & Accelerators, already similar manufacturing sections are operating successfully and safely at the Jhagadia site. The proposed new production shall be carried out within RUC plant which is already well-equipped and well-prepared w.r.t safety. Moreover, HAZOP studies are carried out prior to any equipment or plant setup which identifies hazards associated and ensures inbuilt preventive and emergency control measures at the design stage itself. There shall be inbuilt safety in the plant through DCS and PLC operations and safety interlocks. Also the technology adopted is the most proven technology already implemented in similar units of the group.
