This study focuses on identifying potential hazards in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) depots, which store and distribute LPG. The primary problems identified include leaks, spills, and vapor cloud formation, which can lead to fires, explosions, and toxic gas releases. Inadequate safety measures, lack of proper training, and insufficient emergency response preparedness exacerbate these risks. To address these challenges, the study proposes a comprehensive risk mitigation approach involving engineering controls, administrative measures, and emergency response planning. Key strategies include implementing state-of-the-art leak detection and monitoring systems, enhancing site layout and design to minimize domino effects, developing robust emergency response protocols, and fostering a strong safety culture through continuous training and awareness programs. These mitigation strategies offer a proactive and holistic approach to risk reduction in LPG depots, ensuring personnel safety, minimizing environmental impact, and safeguarding critical infrastructure. By implementing these measures, LPG depot operators can effectively mitigate hazards, enhance operational resilience, and contribute to the overall sustainability of the industry. This research aims to use the Areal Location of Hazardous Atmosphere air dispersion model to simulate the dispersion of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and evaluate the potential hazards it poses to society. ALOHA can identify the geographical region that will be impacted by chemical threats. The study aims to assess five potential adverse consequences of LPG leaks using ALOHA and a Mar plot to delineate the areas of concern related to unintentional LPG discharge.

摘要

This study focuses on identifying potential hazards in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) depots, which store and distribute LPG. The primary problems identified include leaks, spills, and vapor cloud formation, which can lead to fires, explosions, and toxic gas releases. Inadequate safety measures, lack of proper training, and insufficient emergency response preparedness exacerbate these risks. To address these challenges, the study proposes a comprehensive risk mitigation approach involving engineering controls, administrative measures, and emergency response planning. Key strategies include implementing state-of-the-art leak detection and monitoring systems, enhancing site layout and design to minimize domino effects, developing robust emergency response protocols, and fostering a strong safety culture through continuous training and awareness programs. These mitigation strategies offer a proactive and holistic approach to risk reduction in LPG depots, ensuring personnel safety, minimizing environmental impact, and safeguarding critical infrastructure. By implementing these measures, LPG depot operators can effectively mitigate hazards, enhance operational resilience, and contribute to the overall sustainability of the industry. This research aims to use the Areal Location of Hazardous Atmosphere air dispersion model to simulate the dispersion of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and evaluate the potential hazards it poses to society. ALOHA can identify the geographical region that will be impacted by chemical threats. The study aims to assess five potential adverse consequences of LPG leaks using ALOHA and a Mar plot to delineate the areas of concern related to unintentional LPG discharge.
