Abstract
We researched the way to minimize the damage when the chlorine-leak accident take place in a purification plant. Since the level of risk based on the Off-site Risk Assessment(ORA) is a combination of proportional to the number of residents in the damaged area and frequency of accidents, we suggested the adequate conditions to reduce the number of residents in the damaged area by means of the operating temperature of a handling facility, installation of a emergency shut-off valve, and the analysis of the variation of the damaging range in accordance with the type of enclosure. The coverage of damage was calculated by the 'KORA(Korea Off-site Risk Assessment Supporting Tool) program. The research shows that the lower operating temperature gets, the more emergency shut-off valve being installed and the higher enclosure level of facility becomes, the extent of damage gets decreased. The decreasing rate of worst case was 17.6%, 71%, 34.5% respectively, the decreasing rate of alternative case was 31.6%, 69.0%, 34.8% respectively.
정수장에서 염소 누출 사고 시 피해를 최소화하는 방안을 연구하였다. 장외영향평가의 위험도는 영향범위내 주민수와 사고 발생 빈도의 조합으로, 취급시설 운전온도, 긴급차단밸브 설치 위치 및 시설의 밀폐정도에 따른 피해범위 변화를 분석하여 피해범위 내 주민 수를 줄일 수 있는 최적의 조건을 제시하였다. 피해범위 산정은 KORA(Korea Off-site Risk Assessment Supporting Tool) 프로그램을 이용하였고, 운전온도가 낮아질수록, 용기의 브렌치 배관마다 긴급차단밸브가 설치될수록, 시설의 밀폐수준이 높을수록 피해범위가 감소하였다. 최악의 사고시나리오에서 감소율은 각각 17.6%, 71%, 34.5% 이며, 대안의 사고시나리오에는 각각 31.6%, 69.0%, 34.8% 이다.
