Abstract
Ammonia is used primarily as a refrigerant in refrigeration facility and SCR of a plant, and is frequently involved in leakage accidents. This study was conducted by selecting ammonia, a material with a wide influence range when evaluated, as a material with higher vapor pressure and lighter than air. In this study, the influence ranges were computed using KORA(Korea Off-site Risk Assessment supporting tool) with four different environmental factors : ground roughness, sealing, operating temperature, pressure, and leakage hole size. As a result, the difference in the influence range of ground roughness is approximately 4.62 times, while the ammonia storage tank shows a difference in the reduction rate of 0.64 when sealed. The extent of impact increased with increasing leakage depending on storage temperature and pressure, and when storing higher than the saturation vapor pressure, the impact range showed an average growth rate of 3.45 % per 0.1 Mpa($45^{\circ}C$). The influence ranges based on the size of the leakage holes is shown to be proportional to the area of the leakage zone.
암모니아는 발전소의 탈질설비, 냉동장치의 냉매로 많이 사용되고 있으며, 증기압이 높고 공기보다 가벼운 물질로써 장외영향평가시 영향범위가 넓은 물질이다. KORA(Korea Off-site Risk Assessment supporting tool)를 활용하여 4가지 환경인자인 지면굴곡도, 밀폐여부, 운전온도 압력, 누출공 크기를 달리하여 영향범위를 산출하였다. 그 결과 굴곡도에 따른 영향범위는 약 4.62배 차이가 났으며 암모니아 저장탱크는 밀폐된 경우가 약 0.64의 저감율을 나타냈다. 저장온도와 압력에 따라 누출률이 증가되어 영향범위도 증가하는 형태를 보였으며 포화증기압 이상으로 저장시 영향범위는 $45^{\circ}C$에서 0.1 Mpa 당 평균 3.45%의 증가율을 나타냈다. 누출공 크기에 따른 영향범위 산정 결과는 누출구의 면적에 비례하는 것으로 나타났다.
