Domestic harbor yard storage facilities are a place specifically located in a container terminal for import and export of packaged dangerous goods, and due to the recent relaxed criteria for the secured open area, concerns for the extended damage upon accidents are increasing. In this study, the impact of damages by radiant heat was analyzed through a simulation of a pool fire caused by the leakage of flammable liquids from a tank container. As a result, it was analyzed that the distance of radiant heat according to threshold damage levels was beyond the current criteria of the secured open area, and the structural damage of adjacent containers could happen within a very short time if they were exposed to the early pool fire continuously. It is considered that this study will be helpful in preparing the proper criteria for the secured open area between yard storage facilities in a container terminal.

Flux, essentially used in soldering process of PCB (Printed Circuit Board) in electronics industry, contains IPA (Isopropyl alcohol) and methanol, which are highly inflammable and explosive. Hazard Chemical Controlling Law classified methanol as toxic material and Environmental Law classified methanol as VOC (Volatile Organic Compound). So there have been pressing needs of developing substitutes for the existing Flux. New solvent which is non-flammable and main component is DCP having same specific character of the existing Flux. It's been combirated with proper composition ratio adding stabilizer. As a result, it relieved working Environment Allowance thickness 200 ppm to 470 ppm, chance of not been soldered 0.083% to 0%, spread 85% to 87%, power saving resistance 1.0$\times$$10^{12}$$\Omega$ to 6.9$\times$$10^{12}$$\Omega$, which means a lot better than the existing Flux. Therefore, Flux confirmed the chance of improving productivity, safety, environment safety and quality. Also, Flux got a satisfied result after product quality test and product reliability test.

In general, when manufacturing a semiconductor, a number of hazardous and dangerous substances such as flammability, toxic, and corrosiveness are used. In particular, semiconductors are manufactured using specialty gas in processes such as CVD and etching. The specialty gas is filled in a container in the state of compressed or liquefied gas, and a gas cylinder cabinet is used as a facility for supplying this specialty gas to the semiconductor manufacturing process. When a accident occurs in the gas supply system, gas is released through a pressure release device installed in the gas cylinder to secure the safety of the supply system. In this case, the gas released inside the gas cabinet, there is a risk of leaking to the outside. After that, by analyzing the gas flow in the gas cabinet, it is intended to identify the risk associated with leak and to provide measures to prevent accidents.

Currently, local regulations, such as KS Code, do not clearly specify how to calculate the range of hazardous area, so the dispersion modeling program should be used to select dispersion. The purpose of this study is to present a methodology of determining the range of hazardous area which is simpler and more reasonable than modelling by using representative materials and process conditions. Based on domestic and overseas regulations that are currently in effect, variables affecting distance to LFL(Lower Flammable Limit) were selected. A total of 16 flammable substances were modelled for substance variables, process conditions variables, and weather conditions variables, and the statistical analysis selected the variables that affect them. Using the selected variables, a three-step classification method was prepared to select the range of locations subject to explosion hazard.

종이가 인류의 생활에 미치는 비중은 정보의 전달을 제 l의 목적으로 사용되고 있는 인쇄용 지와 필기용지가 차지하는 것이 가장 크다. 정보전달의 매개로 사용되는 종이의 용도 이외 의 것을 살펴보면 전사지, 감압.감열지, 절연지,OMR지, 항공권지, 벽지 등과 같은 특수지와 기능지가 있다. 특히 벽지는 다양한 문양과 색감으로 인간의 미적 감각과 정신적 안정감에 미치는 영향이 크다. 벽지의 기능은 여러 가지의 목적으로 우리들의 실생활에 있어서 없어서는 안될 중요한 건축 재료로서 사용되고 있다. 가장 중요한 벽지의 목적은 앞서 언급한 바와 같이 미려한 색상과 다양한 디자인으로 도안.인쇄 및 발포 처리된 벽지를 사용하여 단순한 벽면을 개인의 취향 에 맞게 함으로써 심리적 안정감을 가져옴과 동시에 미적 가치를 증가 시켜 문화 수준의 향 상에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 종이 벽지와 종이 벽지 원지를 기저로 하여 제조된 발포 벽지는 인화성이 강하기 때 문에 이들에 대한 적절한 난연 처리가 요구 되고 있다. 매년 발생되는 다양한 형태의 화재 는 돌이킬 수 없는 인명과 재산의 손실로 귀결되어 각별한 주의가 요구되기 때문에 주거공 간과 대중의 군집이 많이 이루어지는 공공장소에서의 난연 처리된 벽지 사용에 대한 중요성 이 나날이 그 강도를 더 해가고 있는 실정이다. 난연 처리된 벽지는 통상적인 벽지에 비하 여 제조 원가의 상승에 따라 가격이 비싸기 때문에 일반인들에게 있어서 그 사용은 주목할 정도로 증가되지 못하고 있으나, 생활 수준이 향상 될수록 안전에 대한 의식 강화와 정부의 노력으로 인하여 그 사용량은 크게 늘어날 것으로 기대된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 종이의 제조에 사용되는 원지의 충전제 종류와 양 그리고 난연 처리 된 폴리에스테르 섬유의 혼합을 달리하여 제조된 원지를 사용하여 난연 처려한 후 이들의 인화 특성에 대해 고찰 함으로써 보다 향상된 성능을 발휘 할 수 있는 난연 벽지의 제조와 개발에 보탬이 되고자 하였다.

Chemical terrorism using toxic and flammable gases, which could be fatal to the health of the human body, poses a serious threat to the security of most advanced countries, as well as those that are suffering from local disputes, due to the asymmetric information that exists between terrorist actors and victims. The countermeasures against chemical terrorism can be roughly divided into three stages: prevention, response, and probation. The critical factors for each professional response agency, and the personnel that determine the degree and range of chemical terrorism damage, are performing missions successfully in the process of the prevention and the response stage against chemical terrorism. To do this, conducting objective and systematical assessments on facilities that could potentially be the subject of chemical terrorism is more important than anything. In this study, we compared the existing domestic and foreign vulnerable classification systems for chemical terrorism, reviewed the current direction of improvement in domestic classification systems, and suggested more scientific and systematic methodologies through the vulnerability assessment on an actual public facility sample.

The interest about new and renewable energy is increasing to reduce the burden of problems by depletion of fossil fuels and air pollutions. For example, LNG/CNG and LPG are expected to be replaced, especially in transportation use, by HCNG mixture and DME-LPG mixture, respectively. Because these new energies are still flammable gases, it is not inherently safe from the explosion. In this research, the quantitative risk analysis for using alternative mixtures in existing recharging facilities has been studied by using three types of explosion models (TNT equivalency model, PHAST and CFD-based FLACS) to manage the risk effectively. The differences of results by models were compared against, and the practical ways of when and how to use these models were suggested. It was also predicted that conventional gas filling stations would be converted as new energy stations without additional explosion risk.

Various process piping usually carries out high flammable and explosible gas under high pressure and high temperature. Due to frequent change of design and structure it becomes more complicated and compactly located. The safety management level is relatively low since it is considered as simply designed component. In this study a safety assessment procedure is proposed for complicated piping system around a mixing drum in which natural gas and by-product gases were mixed. According to ASME code, pipe stress analysis was conducted for determining design margin at some key locations of the piping. These high stress locations can be used as major inspection points for managing the pipe integrity. Sensitivity analysis with outside temperature of the pipe and support constraint condition. Possible effect of hydroen gas to the pipe steel during the previous use of the by-product gas was also discussed.

Currently, flammable liquids account for more than 87 wt% of the hazardous materials in circulation in Korea, and paint products are the most commonly used mixed hazardous materials. Therefore, one of the most urgent and important issues is that we have to secure the safety for manufacturing, storage and transport of paint products. In this study we investigated and analyzed the domestic hazardous materials safety management method, the international GHS test method and so forth. We tested risks for a variety of oil paints and found a relation between the results. Furthermore, the risk test method and criteria adapted for domestic situation was presented. Paints were classified as hazardous or non-hazardous according to the results of the flash point test, the amount of flammable liquid or the UN-combustion persistence test. It was revealed from the test results of 6 kind of oil-based paints using different resins that they were hazardous materials with very high risks and belonged to the Category 1 or the Category 2.

Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites are used extensively in aerospace, marine, automotive, infrastructure, chemical processing and sporting good applications. A concern with using FRP composites in some engineering structures is their high flammability and poor fire resistance In this research, material properties of FRP composites at increasingly high temperatures was measured and verified. The obtained mechanical properties of FRP composites were performed according to ASTM D3039/D3039M and tested to a wide range of heat conditions with temperatures from Room-temp. to 300 for times up to 30 min. It is found that the mechanical properties of FRP composites dropped with increasing heat or temperature. The reduction to the properties was due mainly to thermal degradation and combustion of the polymer matrix.
