The Risk Assessment is prepared on the basis of information and details provided
by M/s. Dorf Ketal Speciality Catalysis (P) Ltd, Plot No. Z/108, Dahej, Dist. Bharuch
to HELPS during their course of the study. The assessment has been formulated by
team of qualified, experienced and competent persons.
The industrial emergency / disaster resulting from the accidental release of huge
quantity of volatile substances having toxic, flammable or explosive chemical
properties are not new to the chemical units. Therefore, the process of the chemical
industries have been continuously updating and developing its design and operating
techniques to overcome such problems. Further, a technique known as “Risk
Assessment” has been developed to assess the risk associated in the handling the
plants, storage areas and its consequences on human environment etc, if involves
either due to fire, explosion or toxic gas release.

3.13.13.13.1 INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION
A hazard is an inherent physical or chemical character ist ic that has the
potent ia l for causing harm. A hazard Ident i f icat ion study is an
organized effort to ident ify and analyze the signif icance of hazardous
si tuat ions associated with a process or act iv i ty. Specif ical ly , Hazard
Ident if icat ion studies are used to pinpoint weaknesses in the design
and operat ion of faci l i t ies that could lead to accidental chemical
releases, f i res, or explosions. These studies provide organizat ions with
informat ion to help them to improve the safety and manage the r isk of
their operat ions.
Hazard Identi f icat ion studies usual ly focus on storages, process safety
issues, l ike the acute effects of unplanned chemical re leases on plant
personnel or the publ ic. These studies complement more tradit ional
industr ial health and safety act iv it ies, such as protect ion against s l ips
or fa l ls, use of personal protect ive equipment, monitor ing for
employee exposure to industr ia l chemicals, etc. Although Hazard
Ident if icat ion studies typical ly use qual itat ive methods to analyze
potent ia l equipment fa i lures and human errors that can lead to
accidents, the studies can also highl ight gaps in the management
systems of an organizat ion's process safety program.

3.5.1 Pool Evaporation
The released f lammable materia l which is a l iquid stored below
its normal boi l ing point, wil l col lect in a pool. The geometry
of the pool wi l l be dictated by the surroundings. I f the
l iquid is stored under pressure above i ts normal boi l ing
point, then a f ract ion of the l iquid wi l l f lash into vapor
and the remaining port ion wi l l form a pool in the vicin i ty of
the release point. Once susta ined combustion is achieved,
l iquid f ires quick ly reach steady state burning. The heat
release rate is a function of the l iquid surface area exposed to
air. An unconf ined spi l l wi l l tend to have thin fuel depth
(typical ly less than 5 mm) which wi l l result in slower
burning rates. A conf ined spil l is l imited by the boundaries
(e.g. a dyked area) and the depth of the result ing pool is
greater than that for an unconf ined spi l l .
Vaporization scenarios
Vaporizat ion can occur when there is a leak in any of
the fol lowing S ituat ions:
• A l iquid at atmospheric temperature and pressure.
• A l iquid under pressure and above normal boi l ing point.
• The rates of vapourisat ion of the l iquid are different for
each of the two cases. In the case
• The l iquid after spi l lage is approximately at equi l ibr ium
and evaporates relat iv ity s lowly.
• In the case, the l iquid f lashes off when released, and the
l iquid remaining then undergoes s low evaporat ion.
Evaporat ion of a l iquid at atmospheric
temperature and pressure.
Evaporat ion f rom a pool of l iquid is essentia l ly a mass transfer
process that depends on the vapour pressure of the l iquid,
DORF-RA-2016 HELPS
18
wind velocity across the surface of the pool and ambient
weather condit ion.
A spi l lage of this k ind const i tutes a steady cont inuous
source of vapour. Unless the rate of evaporat ion due to
the combinat ion of vapour pressure and wind velocity is
high enough, i t is usual ly assumed that the heat t ransfer
from the a ir and the ground is suf f ic ient to provide the
latent heat of vapourisat ion.
Evaporat ion of a l iquid under pressure and above normal
boi l ing point When a pressur ized l iquid is re leased f rom
containment, a port ion f lashes off. This heat is obtained by
cooling the remain ing l iquid to i ts boi l ing point thus reaching
a state of equi l ibr ium f rom the high in equi l ibr ium
prevalent immediately on loss of containment. In practice, it
frequently happens that there is a s ignif icant amount of
spray format ion caused by the sudden release of
pressure and the v iolent boi l ing of l iquid. This spray
vaporizes rapidly by taking heat for vaporizat ion f rom air.
This spray l iquid format ion is assumed to equal to the gas
fract ion generated by f lash. The proport ion of l iquid ai rborne
is thus considerably high. Fol lowing f lashing, the res idual l iquid
is at i ts boil ing point. Vaporizat ion then cont inuous by
gain ing heat f rom surrounding as an essent ia l ly heat or
mass transfer l imited process.
This secondary stage of rate l imited vaporizat ion is usual ly
relat ively less important compared with the f lash off,
part icular ly with respect to format ion of f lammable gas clouds.

3.5.2 Vapour Cloud dispersion
Following a cont inuous leak and formation of gas cloud, if
c loud does not ignite i t undergoes atmospheric dispersion in
accordance with the prevalent wind direction, speed, and
stabil i ty category. The object ive of carry ing out analys is of
cloud dispers ion is two fold. F i rst , i t provides the distance
(f rom the leak) at which the concentrat ion of f lammable
mater ia l fa l ls below the lower f lammabi l i ty l imit (LEL). Second
it provides the concentrat ion of the toxic substance to which
people may be exposed for short t ime, at vary ing distance
(f rom the leak).
3.5.3 JET FIRE
A Jet F ire, a lso referred to as a f lame jet, occurs when a
f lammable chemical is rapidly released from an opening in a
container and immediately catches on f i re—much l ike the f lame
from a blowtorch. A two-phase Jet F ire occurs when a gas that
has been l iquef ied under pressure is released. Because the
l iquid evaporates as it escapes, the chemical is released as an
aerosol spray—that is, a mixture of gas and t iny l iquid
droplets. Software assumes the Jet F ire release is or iented
vert ical ly , a lthough the wind can t i l t the f lames in the
downwind direct ion. Thermal radiat ion is the pr imary hazard
associated with a Jet F i re. Other potent ia l Jet F i re hazards
include smoke, tox ic by products f rom the f i re, and secondary
f i res and explosions in the surrounding area.
3.5.4 Pool fire
A pool f i re occurs when a f lammable l iquid forms a puddle on
the ground and catches on f ire. Thermal radiat ion is the
pr imary hazard associated with a pool f i re. Other potent ia l
pool f ire hazards include smoke, toxic by products f rom the
f i re, and secondary f i res and explosions in the surrounding
area. In some cases, heat f rom the pool f i re may weaken a
DORF-RA-2016 HELPS
20
leaking tank and cause i t to fa i l completely—in which case, a
BLEVE may occur. Typical ly , a BLEVE poses a greater threat than
a pool f ire. I f the chemical ins ide the tank is l ikely to BLEVE (for
example, i f the tank contains a l iquef ied gas).
3.5.5 BLEVEs
BLEVE stands for Boi l ing L iquid Expanding Vapour Explosion.
BLEVEs typical ly occur in closed storage tanks that contain a
l iquef ied gas, usual ly a gas that has been l iquef ied under
pressure. A gas can be l iquef ied by either cool ing
(refr igerat ing) it to a temperature below its boi l ing point or by
stor ing it at a h igh pressure. Both f lammable and non f lammable
l iquef ied gases may be involved in a BLEVE. Propane is an
example of a chemical that has been involved in many BLEVE
accidents. Most propane tanks at service stat ions contain
l iquid propane. These tanks are neither insulated nor
refr igerated, so the tank contents are at ambient temperature.
Since the ambient temperature is a lmost a lways signif icant ly
above propane's boi l ing point of -43.7 ºF, the tanks are h ighly
pressurized.
A common BLEVE scenar io happens when a container of
l iquef ied gas is heated by f i re, increasing the pressure with in
the container unt i l the tank ruptures and fai ls. When the
container fa i ls, the chemical is re leased in an explosion. I f the
chemical is above i ts boil ing point when the container fai ls ,
some or a l l of the l iquid wil l f lash-boi l—that is, instantaneously
become a gas. I f the chemical is f lammable, a burning gas
cloud cal led a f i rebal l may occur i f a s ignif icant amount of the
chemical f lash-boi ls. Software assumes that any l iquid not
consumed in the f i rebal l wi l l form a pool f i re. Software
est imates the thermal radiat ion hazard f rom a f i rebal l and/or a
pool f ire. Other potentia l BLEVE hazards include overpressure,
hazardous f ragments, smoke, and tox ic by products f rom the
DORF-RA-2016 HELPS
21
f i re. Software focuses on the thermal radiat ion because in
most BLEVEs thermal radiat ion impacts a greater area than the
overpressure and is the more s igni f icant threat.
3.5.6 Fireball
When you model a BLEVE, software assumes that a f i rebal l wi l l
form. The f i rebal l is made up of both the chemical that f lash-
boi ls when the tank fa i ls and the chemical that sprays out as an
aerosol dur ing the explosion. Software est imates that the
amount of chemical in the f i rebal l is three t imes the amount of
chemical that f lash boi ls. Any l iquid that does not part ic ipate
in the f i rebal l wi l l form a pool f i re. When you choose to
model a BLEVE s ituat ion, the program est imates the thermal
radiat ion f rom both f i res; it is not necessary to run an
addit ional Pool F i re scenar io. The pr imary hazard associated
with a f i rebal l is thermal radiat ion. However, i f there are other
chemicals near the f i rebal l , i t can t r igger addit ional f i res and
explosions. Explosion and hazardous f ragments. In a BLEVE, a
high-pressure explosion typical ly causes the container to
fragment. As the container breaks apart, i t may st r ike objects in
the surrounding area and create addit ional debris. The
container fragments and other debris—hazardous f ragments—
are swept up in the explosion and rapidly propel led by the
explosion over a wide area.. I f a BLEVE is l ikely to occur, f i rst
responders must take the necessary precaut ions to protect
themselves and others f rom the overpressure and hazardous
fragments.
3.5.7 Flash fires (flammable area)
When a f lammable vapour cloud encounters an ignit ion source,
the cloud can catch f i re and burn rapidly in what is cal led a
f lash f ire. Potent ial hazards associated with a f lash f i re include
thermal radiat ion, smoke, and tox ic by products f rom the f ire.
The f lammable area of the vapour cloud—that is, the area
DORF-RA-2016 HELPS
22
where a f lash f ire could occur at some t ime after the release.
The f lammable area is bounded by the Lower Explosive L imit
(LEL) and the Upper Explosive L imit (UEL). These l imits are
percentages that represent the concentrat ion of the fuel—that
is, the chemical—vapour in the air. I f the chemical vapour
comes into contact with an ignit ion source, it wi l l burn only if
i ts fuel-a ir concentrat ion is between the LEL and the UEL,
because that port ion of the cloud is al ready pre-mixed to the
r ight mixture of fuel and air for burning to occur. I f the fuel-a i r
concentrat ion is below the LEL, there is not enough fuel in the
air to susta in a f i re or an explosion—it is too lean. I f the fuel-
a ir concentrat ion is above the UEL, there is not enough oxygen
to susta in a f i re or an explosion because there is too much
fuel—it is too rich. (This is s imi lar to an engine that cannot start
because i t has been f looded with gasol ine.) I f a f lash f i re
occurs, the part of the cloud where the fuel-a i r concentrat ion
is above the UEL may cont inue to slowly burn as ai r mixes with
the cloud. You might expect that the LEL could be used as the
LOC to determine the areas in which a f i re might occur.
However, the concentrat ion levels est imated are t ime-
averaged concentrat ions. In an actual vapour cloud, there wi l l
be areas where the concentrat ion is h igher than the average
and areas where the concentrat ion is lower than the average.
This is cal led concentrat ion patchiness. Because of
concentrat ion patchiness, there wi l l be areas, cal led pockets,
where the chemical is in the f lammable range even though the
average concentrat ion has fa l len below the LEL. Some
experiments have shown that f lame pockets can occur in
places where the average concentrat ion is above 60% of the
LEL.
DORF-RA-2016 HELPS

3.5.8 Vapour cloud explosions
When a f lammable chemical is re leased into the atmosphere, it
forms a vapour cloud that wi l l disperse as i t t ravels downwind.
I f the cloud encounters an ignit ion source, the parts of the
cloud where the concentrat ion is with in the f lammable range
(between the LEL and UEL) wi l l burn. The speed at which the
f lame front moves through the cloud determines whether i t is a
def lagrat ion or a detonat ion. In some s ituat ions, the cloud wi l l
burn so fast that it creates an explosive force (blast wave). The
sever ity of a vapour cloud explosion depends on the
chemical, the cloud size at the t ime of ignit ion, the type of
ignit ion, and the congest ion level ins ide the cloud. The pr imary
hazards are overpressure and hazardous f ragments. Some
people may prefer to use the terms Lower F lammable L imit
(LFL) and Upper F lammable L imit (UFL), part icular ly i f they are
only concerned with f i res.
3.5.9 Overpressure
A major hazard associated with any explosion is overpressure.
Overpressure, a lso cal led a blast wave, refers to the sudden
onset of a pressure wave after an explosion. This pressure
wave is caused by the energy released in the in i t ia l
explosion—the bigger the ini t ia l explosion, the more damaging
the pressure wave. Pressure waves are near ly instantaneous,
travel l ing at the speed of sound. Although a pressure wave
may sound less dangerous than a f ire or hazardous f ragments,
it can be just as damaging and just as deadly. The pressure
wave radiates outward l ike a g iant burst of a ir , crashing into
anything in its path (generat ing hazardous fragments). I f the
pressure wave has enough power behind it , i t can l i f t people
off the ground and throw them up against nearby bui ldings or
trees. Addit ional ly , blast waves can damage bui ldings or even
knock them f lat—often injuring or k i l l ing the people ins ide
them. The sudden change in pressure can also affect pressure-

sensit ive organs l ike the ears and lungs. The damaging effects
of the overpressure wi l l be greatest near the source of the
explosion and lessen as you move farther from the source.
3.63.63.63.6 Thermal Radiation Levels Thermal Radiation Levels Thermal Radiation Levels Thermal Radiation Levels
A Thermal Radiat ion Level is a threshold level of thermal radiat ion,
usual ly the level above which a hazard may ex ist.
The thermal radiat ion effects that people experience depend upon the
length of t ime they are exposed to a specif ic thermal radiat ion level.
Longer exposure durat ions, even at a lower thermal radiat ion level, can
produce serious physiological effects.
Thermal damage
The ef fect of thermal radiat ion on people is main ly a function
of intensity of radiat ion and exposure t ime. The ef fect is
expressed in terms of the probabi l i ty of death and different
degrees of burn. The fol lowing tables g ive the effect of var ious
levels of heat f lux.

3.73.73.73.7 OVERPRESSURE Levels OVERPRESSURE Levels OVERPRESSURE Levels OVERPRESSURE Levels
The most basic def ini t ion of an explosion is a sudden, intense release
of energy that often produces a loud noise, h igh temperatures, and
f ly ing debris, and generates a pressure wave. There are many types of
explosions and the causes and effects wi l l vary. Intent ional explosions
wi l l general ly—but not always—result in greater hazard damage.
Consider three pr imary hazards when deal ing with an explosion:
thermal radiat ion, overpressure, and hazardous f ragments (f ly ing
debris). Al l three of these hazards are not present in every explosion
and the sever ity of the hazard wi l l depend on the explosion. These
hazards typical ly last only for a br ief per iod direct ly fol lowing the
explosion. However, it is important to consider the potent ia l for
secondary explosions and f i res to occur before deciding that these
hazards no longer ex ist .

Large objects ( l ike t rees and buildings) in the path of the pressure
wave can af fect its st rength and direct ion of travel. For example, i f
many bui ldings surround the explosion s ite, expect the actual
overpressure threat zone to be somewhat smal ler. But at the same
t ime, more hazardous f ragments could be generated as the blast
causes st ructural damage to those bui ldings. An Overpressure Level is
a threshold level of pressure f rom a blast wave, usual ly the pressure
above which a hazard may ex ist.

Indiv idual r isk is the r isk of a nominated adverse effect, usual ly
fata l i ty, i f an indiv idual remained f ixed at a locat ion for a set
t ime, usual ly a year, adjacent to an industr ia l hazard. Indiv idual
r isk contours are der ived by calculat ing at a specif ic locat ion,
the impacts result ing from each fa i lure mode identi f icat ion and
summing the r isk value associated with each fa i lure mode.
Indiv idual r isk cr iteria can be presented as a diagram, known as
the “Dagger Diagram”, to faci l i tate understanding. F igure 1
given next page shows the individual r isks of fata l i ty, and some
r isks experienced in day to day l i fe.

5.1.2 Societal Risk :
Societa l r isk cr i ter ia specify levels of societal r isk that must not
be exceeded by a part icular act iv ity. These cr iter ia ensure that
a hazardous act iv ity / faci l i ty does not impose a r isk on society
that is disproport ionate to other major hazards hav ing regard
to the benef i t the act iv ity or faci l i ty br ings. In part icular,
societal r isk cr iter ia are used to regulate the r isks of an
accident involv ing many fata l i t ies, which indiv idual r isk cr i ter ia
do not address.
Societa l r isk cr iter ia are usual ly expressed in the form of a
chart, with N, the number of fata l i t ies across the bottom and
the frequency of N or more fata l i t ies on the vert ical scale. The
cri ter ia are areas, or zones on the chart, del ineated by
downward s loping l ines.

The method of measur ing the f requency of accidents caused by Off-
Site Events should be f it for purpose. In other words i t should be
proport ionate to the level of r isk. Thus, i f a s ite is located far away
from any ai rport or f l ight path (mil i tary or civ i l ), then i t is acceptable
for the safety report to refer to the background crash rate for the UK.
On the other hand, i f the s ite is located close to a busy a i rport then
a much more detai led assessment of ai rcraft impact should be
carr ied out.

Knowledge and Safety measures are tested when any incident /
happening takes place which teaches us a lessons and we are
compelled to acquire the knowledge of the causes of the accidents
and of preventat ive measures to prevent its reoccurrences.
The management is mainta in ing records in respect of recorded

Annexure-11.
5.65.65.65.6 LIMITATIONS & UNCERTAINTYLIMITATIONS & UNCERTAINTYLIMITATIONS & UNCERTAINTYLIMITATIONS & UNCERTAINTY
The hazard ident if icat ion procedures are coupled with good
engineer ing judgement, regulat ions, and guidel ines together
const itute a better st rategy to ensur ing safety. The accuracy and
usefulness of r isk assessment are cr it ical ly dependent on the qual ity
of the model assumptions and that of the relevant database. In case
of accident f requency assessment, the sources of errors are a lso
varied. In many instances only very general data are avai lable on
equipment fa i lure, for which stat ist ical accuracy is often poor. In
other cases, these may be very l i t t le data avai lable at a l l . In India, the
databases on equipment fai lure and human error are not readily
avai lable. There is indeed a st rong need to bui ld up a nat ional
rel iabi l i ty database through co-operat ive ef fects between industry
and instrument / equipment manufactures.
