This study addresses the escalating issue of worldwide hydrogen gas accidents, which has seen a significant increase in occurrences. To comprehensively evaluate the risks associated with hydrogen, a two approach was employed in this study. Firstly, a qualitative risk assessment was conducted using the bow-tie method. Secondly, a quantitative consequence analysis was carried out utilizing the areal locations of hazardous atmospheres (ALOHA) model. The study applied this method to two incidents, the hydrogen explosion accident occurred at the Muskingum River power plant in Ohio, USA, 2007 and the hydrogen storage tank explosion accident occurred at the K Technopark water electrolysis system in Korea, 2019. The results of the risk assessments revealed critical issues such as deterioration of gas pipe, human errors in incident response and the omission of important gas cleaning facility. By analyzing the cause of accidents and assessing risks quantitatively, the effective accident response plans are proposed and the effectiveness is evaluated by comparing the effective distance obtained by ALOHA simulation. Notably, the implementation of these measures led to a significant 54.5% reduction in the risk degree of potential explosions compared to the existing risk levels.

An increase in oil and gas plants caused by development of process industry have brought into the increase in use of flammable and toxic materials in the complex process under high temperature and pressure. There is always possibility of fire and explosion of dangerous chemicals, which exist as raw materials, intermediates, and finished goods whether used or stored in the industrial plants. Since there is the need of efforts on disaster damage reduction or mitigation process, we have been conducting a research to relate explosion model on the background of real 3D terrain model. By predicting the extent of damage caused by recent disasters, we will be able to improve efficiency of recovery and, sure, to take preventive measure and emergency counterplan in response to unprepared disaster. For disaster damage prediction, it is general to conduct quantitative risk assessment, using engineering model for environmental description of the target area. There are different engineering models, according to type of disaster, to be used for industry disaster such as UVCE (Unconfined Vapour Cloud Explosion), BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Evaporation Vapour Explosion), Fireball and so on, among them, we estimate explosion damage through UVCE model which is used in the event of explosion of high frequency and severe damage. When flammable gas in a tank is released to the air, firing it brings about explosion, then we can assess the effect of explosion. As 3D terrain information data is utilized to predict and estimate the extent of damage for each human and material. 3D terrain data with synthetic environment (SEDRIS) gives us more accurate damage prediction for industrial disaster and this research will show appropriate prediction results.

산업현장과 열병합발전 등 다양한 장소에 사용되는 도시가스는 산업안전보건법 정의에 따라 인화성 가스에 해당되며 한국산업표준 KS C IEC에 의해 가스 폭발위험장소가 설정되어 안전하게 관리가 되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 일반 화학공장에 적용되는 KS C IEC 표준을 저압 도시가스 사용설비 폭발위험성 예측에 합리적으로 적용하기 위해누출공 크기, 환기 등급, 환기 유효성 등의 주요 변수를 도입하였다.CFD 시뮬레이션 적용의 타당성을 평가하기 위해 전산유체역학 (CFD) 시뮬레이션, 가스누출실험, KS C IEC 표준 계산 통해 얻어진 폭발하한계가상 체적을 이용하여 네 가지 다른 조건에서 폭발 위험성을 평가하였다.

광양제철소의 소둔로 설비를 대상으로 정성적 및 정량적 위험성을 평가하였다. 소둔로는 냉연 강판 제조시 품질 향상을 위한 열처리 목적으로 이용되는 제철 설비중 하나로 Coke Oven Gas(COG)가 연료로 사용되고, 수소와 질소의 혼합가스 또는 순수한 수소가 분위기 가스로 사용된다. 위험성 평가를 통하여, 소둔로의 가연성 가스 누출 시나리오와 빈도를 분석하였으며, 가연성 가스 누출 사고시 화재 또는 폭발의 피해 영향을 분석하였다. 이들 분석 결과와 함께 여러 다른 지수(Index)를 제시하여 소둔로 가스 설비의 안전성 향상 방안을 도출하였다.

This paper discribes an experimental explosion risk assessment study on refrigerators containing flammable hydrocarbon refrigerant. A refrigerator used in this study is a larder fridge type, 215 liter in volume. The hydrocarbon refrigerant used in the refrigerator is iso-butane(C$_4$H$_{10}$). For the explosion safety assessment of the refrigerator, temperature of compressor, cooling air circulation fan motor, defrost heater and inner lamp were measured during the operation. And to confirm the ignitablity of flammable gas by the electric spark of the switches of the refrigerator, ON-OFF test of all switches were conducted with compulsorily near the stoichiometric concentration atmosphere of iso-butane-air mixture. As the result of experiment above mentioned and another experiment for the explosion safety assessment, we can conclude that explosion hazard in connection with the use of hydrocarbon refrigerant was few.w.

최근 국내·외에서 지하철 공사현장 가스폭발, 지하 공동구 화재, 지하가 화재 폭발 등 지하공간에서의 사고가 다수 발생하고 있다. 이러한 사고는 재산의 손실 뿐 아니라 전력, 통신망 마비로 도시 기능을 무력화시키고, 인명 피해의 대형화를 동반함으로서 도시민의 안전을 위협하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 지하공간이 잠재적으로 갖고 있는 연소확대 위험성을 확률을 이용하여 평균 연소손실면적 예측치를 산출하고, 화재시 화재확산 경로 및 피해 크기를 산출하여 각 방재 대책의 효과를 상대적으로 비교 평가할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다.

To evaluate characteristics of explosion hazard of Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide, MCPVT was used for this study. In result maximum explosion pressure and maximum explosion pressure rising velocity of MEK-PO were $12.1kgf/cm^2\;and\;106.81kgf/cm^2/s$. As a result or adding metal powder to estimate hazard of explosion, the maximum explosion pressure and maximum explosion pressure rising velocity according to adding Fe powder in MEK-PO increased. In opposite, those decreased resulting in adding Ca powder in MEK-PO.

The F&EI technique is one of the risk assessments with many advantages. It can save time and effort compared to quantitative risk assessment (QRA). By using the evaluation result of this technique, it is possible to check the effectiveness of the investment cost. In addition, a relative risk ranking can be created and used to establish the facility management cycle and to prioritize investment. However, evaluating the target process can be evaluated more than the actual risk since the LCCF, a loss prevention measure, is too limited. In addition, calculating premiums via this method can result in excessive premiums, making it difficult to evaluate the risk precisely. Therefore, new safety guard was added to the LCCF of the F&EI risk assessment with reference to HAZOP and LOPA techniques. Newly added LCCFs are Deflagration arrester, Check valve, SIS, and Vacuum beaker, etc. As a case study, F&EI risk assessment was performed on Acetone storage tank of a API (Active pharmaceutical ingredient) plant to compare actual MPPD. The estimated loss amount was 592,558$ for the existing technique and 563,571$ for the improved technique, which was reduced by about 5% compared to the previous one.This proved that a more precise evaluation is possible and that the efforts for safety at the workplace are reflected in the evaluation results.
