Abstract

Background and Objective: The most important goal of Modeling is to acquire knowledge about the actual behavior of the system. Toxic leakage is a likely issue in process and chemical industries and one of the threatening factors for the personnel and residents involving in the mentioned industries. In this regard, the present study aimed to model the effect of Ammonia leakage from the Ammonia reservoirs. Materials and Methods: In the present study, the Ammonia liquid release from the reservoir was modeled using ALOHA software version 5. 4. 7 in one of the southern refineries. This study was modeled based on the three scenarios, including the formation of the toxic vapor clouds, flammable environment, and toxic explosive atmosphere. Results: Based on the results of the present Modeling, the concentration of Ammonia was 1, 100 ppm, 5 km around the reservoir (red range). In addition, from this area to about 160 miles (about 10 km) around the reservoir (orange range) the concentration of Ammonia was 160 ppm. In the event of full leakage of Ammonia from the reservoir up to 500 m, the Ammonia concentration was reported to be about 90, 000 ppm, which was approximately 60% of the minimum flammable concentration of Ammonia gas. Furthermore, the Ammonia concentration up to about 1. 7 km of the tank was 15000 ppm, which was about 10% of the minimum of the flammable Ammonia concentration. It should be considered that in the event of vapor cloud explosion, the explosive wave pressure is approximately 700 m from the reservoir equivalent to Psi 8 that can cause serious damage to the buildings. Conclusion: According to the results of Modeling, Ammonia intoxication is the most important threat to personnel. Therefore, the inspections in accordance with the manufacturer company's proposal on Ammonia repositories and emergency response plans will have an effective role in the limitation of the harmful effects of toxic and dangerous emissions.
