Abstract

A lot of hazardous materials have been used for product processing and utility plant. Many accidents including toxic release, fire and explosions occur in the ammonia related facility and plant. Various safety and environment management program including PSM, SMS, ORA etc. are being implemented for risk management and accident prevention in the production industry. Also much study and research have been carried about risk assessment of accident scenario in the academic and research area. In this paper, firstly risk level was assessed by using a typically used KORA program and LOPA PFD method for the selected ammonia unloading and storage facility. And then risk reduction measures for the risk assessed facility were studied in 3 aspects and some measures were proposed. Those Risk Reduction measures are including a leak detection and emergency isolation, water spray, dilution tank, dike and trench, scattering protection in hardware impovement aspect, and a applicable risk criteria, conditional modifier for existing LOPA PFD, alternative supporting modeling program in risk estimation methodology aspect, and last RBPS(Risk Based Process Safety) program, re-doing of process hazard analysis, management system compliance audit in managerial activity aspect.

제조산업 현장에서는 수많은 유해위험물질이 사용, 처리 및 생산되고 있으며, 암모니아를 취급하는 시설에서 많은 누출, 화재 폭발사고가 보고되고 있다. 유해위험시설에서의 위험관리 및 사고예방을 위하여 공정안전관리(PSM), 가스안전관리(SMS), 장외영향평가(ORA) 제도 등 다양한 안전환경관리 프로그램이 국내 산업현장에 적용되고 있고 학계에서도 위험성평가 관련 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 암모니아 입하 및 저장 시설을 대상으로 정량적 위험성평가가 수행되었는데 사고 시나리오에 대한 피해영향범위 산정에는 장외영향평가용 KORA 프로그램, 사고 빈도 분석에는 LOPA PFD 활용 방식을 적용하였다. 평가 결과 추정된 위험도를 완화하고 지속적인 위험을 관리하는 방안으로 누출 감지 및 비상 차단, 물 분무 및 증기 희석 설비, 방류벽 및 트렌치, 누출 비산 방호 등 공정 안전설계 하드웨어 개선부분과 위험관리기준 효과적 적용, LOPA 보완적용, 보조 피해영향범위 산정 프로그램 활용, 위험도기반 공정안전관리제도 적용, 공정위험성 재평가 및 이행성 관리 등 프로그램 및 제도 운용 측면에서의 방안이 제시되었다.
