2.6 RELATIVE RANKING
2.6.1 DOW F&E INDEX
Identification of hazardous units and segments of plants and storage units based on
“relative ranking technique,” such as Fire and Explosion Index. F & EI, is a method
universally adopted for classifying/ categorizing/ indexing of chemicals based on their
reactivity and instability. The more widely used hazard index is the F & EI developed
by DOW Chemical Company. Dow Fire and Explosion Index (F&EI) serve as a guide
to the selection of fire protection methods. Methodology adopted is described in
Section No. 2.8.

2.6.2 MOND INDEX ASSESSMENT
The MOND Index is a rapid hazard assessment method for use on chemical plant
or in plant design. The use of this technique puts the hazard of a plant on a numerical
scale, where the comparative pictures of all subdivisions of the plant form emerge.
The assessment is carried out as per MOND INDEX Manual 1993.

and need off setting measures. It is reasonable to assume that a unit assessed at this
level can be operated in a satisfactory manner by providing adequate off setting
measures, giving full regard to the hazards indicated by the assessment provided
adequate depends heavily upon the maintenance of the hardware and of the
management procedures; neglect of either will lead to loss of protection and the rating
will rise.

Note :Condensation is the chemical reaction in which two or more molecules combine and expel water, an alcohol or another low-molecular
weight compound. Each of the reactants contributes a part of the separated compound. There is some overlap with addition reactions since the
initial step in condensation is addition.Specific waste water volumes are generally low, effluents mainly consist of reaction water if recycling
after phase separation is not possible. The effluent is composed of high-boiling components (condensation products/by-products) that often show
moderate or poor biodegradability, and low-boiling components (educts) with better biodegradability.

Alkylation is the introduction of an alkyl group into an organic compound by substitution or addition. There are six types of alkylation reaction;
Substitution for Hydrogen bound to Carbon. Substitution for Hydrogen attached to Nitrogen. Substitution for Hydrogen in a Hydroxyl group of an Alcohol or Phenol. Addition to a metal to form a Carbon-metal bond. Addition to a Tertiary Amine to form a quaternary Ammonium compound. Miscellaneous additions to Sulphur or Silicon.
Alkylation is commonly carried out in liquid phase at temperatures higher than 200 ºC at above atmospheric pressures. Sometimes vapour phase
alkylation is more effective. Alkylation agents are usually olefins, alcohols, alkyl sulphates or alkyl halides. Catalysts are HF, sulphuric acid or
phosphoric acid. Lewis acids, like aluminum trichloride or boron trifluoride, may also be used as catalysts.

SECTION 3 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS
3.1 INTRODUCTION
These accident scenarios as identified during HAZOP study are divided in twocategories considering the consequence seriousness and occurrence frequency.
MAXIMUM CREDIBLE LOSS SCENARIO (MCLS). WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO.
MAXIMUM CREDIBLE LOSS SCENARIO (MCLS)
Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS) is one of the methodologies evolved toaccess the events in realistic and practical way. An MCLS can be described as theworst “credible” accident or as an accident with a maximum damage distance, whichis still believed to be probable. The analysis, however, does not include aquantification of the probability of occurrence of an accident. The MCLS aims atidentifying undesirable and hazardous events causing the Maximum damage to humanbeings environment around the industry under the consideration.
Leak from hose/ piping failure are quite probable events. Such accidental release isconsidered as MCLS.
WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO
Worst Case Scenario/ MCA (Maximum Credible Accident) Accident Scenarioaccidental release of Hydrogen followed by fire/Explosion is considered as WorstCase Scenario/ MCA (Maximum Credible Accident).
HYDROGEN GAS INVENTORY & STORAGE
Hydrogen will be procured in a quad. A quad will have 20 cylinders eachhaving capacity of 29.6 cum hydrogegas ,160 ltrs w/c, with 200 kg /cm2filling pressure
There will be one stand by quad at hydrogenation plant
At a given time there will be 2 quad in the premises totalling to 1060 cum ofHydrogen gas (0.09MT).

SECTION 4 : IMPACT ASSESSMENT.
4.1 IMPACT ON LAYOUT
The Factory is established around 1960 . The present proposal will have direct positiveimpact on the site layout as it provides following oppertinuities
a) Optimization of inventory of hazardous chemicalsb) To rationalize the layout by relocating the solvent tank farm locations away from
HT power transmission lines .c) Ageing plant issues such as revamping damaged underground fire hydrant
network , revamping old electrical .d) Separation of bulk storages and segregation of laboratory chemicals considering
compatability and reactivity hazards .e) Separation of manufacturing facility by buffer green belt towards water body and
increased urbanzation pockets
4.2 OVER PRESSURE IMPACT
Hydrogen instantenous release from hydrogen cylinder quad followed by vapor cloudexplosion is considered as Worst case scenario
Table No. 4.1: Effect Of Blast Pressure Wave.OVER PRESSURE (bar) EFFECTS
0.01 Shattering of glass windows. Failure of panels.0.03 Shattering of asbestos siding.0.1 Collapse of steel framing panels.0.3 Shearing of brick walls (8-12 inches).
Vulnerable zone 1 up to 40 m radius from hydrogenation plant of 0.2068 bar over pressurevulnerable zone having the probability of 99 % fetality .Vulnerable zone 2 up to 52 m radius from hydrogenation plant of 0.1379 bar over pressurevulnerable zone having the probability of 10 % fetality .Vulnerable zone 3 up to 202 m radius from hydrogenation plant of 0.0206 bar overpressure vulnerable zone having the probability of 1 % fetality .

There will be direct negative impact on the persons working in the vulnerable zone . risk of
affected by pressure wave as a result of Hydrogen Vapor cloud explosion is likely At first
shift change over Number persons likely to be present in the Hydrogenation plant and
vulnerable zone 1 and 2 will be 3 nos and 84 nos respectively . It should be noted that the
high density of Availability of manpower between 1 and 2 vulnerable zone is not desirable .
Depending the prevailing atmospheric conditions at the time of the event the impact will
under go change However any reduction in the crouding in this zone need attention .
4.3 THERMAL RADIATION IMPACT
Flammable solvent release followed Pool fire at tank farm will result in thermalradiations likely to impact direct the personnel in vulnerable zone with burn injuries andeven fetality .

Below 2.5 Prolonged exposure can. be tolerated.
Continued exposure to heat flux of 4.0 KW/m2 is considered sufficient to cause
injury. Hence, injury risk was assessed based on exposure to this level of heat flux or
greater. It is estimated that heat flux of 10.0 KW/m2 is likely up to 9 m distance from
the centre of the fire. It is assumed that any person near fire can take shelter within 90
seconds.

4.5 TOXICITY IMPACT
Hydrogen chloride gas release at scrubber vent
HYDROGEN CHLORIDE
Hydrogen Chloride (HCl) is a colorless, corrosive, toxic gas with a pungent, irritating
odor. HCl is miscible in water. HCl is an irritant to eyes, skin, and mucous
membranes. HCl has a low threshold limit value (TLV) and is detectable by odor at
concentrations lower than those necessary to cause physical harm or impairment. The
most serious hazard presented by Hydrogen chloride is exposure to a large release
from which escape is impossible. Following Table describes various health effects of
Hydrogen Chloride exposure.
TABLE NO. 4.5: HEALTH EFFECTS OF HYDROGEN CHLORIDE EXPOSURE.
CONCENTRATION CONCENTRATION SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE< 1 ppm Odor Threshold.
10 - 50 ppm Irritation of the eyes and mucous membranes, which can betolerated or several hours.
50 - 100 ppm Immediate irritation of the throat, which may be tolerated foran hour.
1000 - 1300 ppm A dangerous health hazard, even for short periods of time.
NOTE: Exposure to concentrations in excess of 1300 ppm may cause laryngeal spasms,resulting in death.
Note 1 The potential consequences from the hazardous scenarios identified are determined and the impact zonesmodeled using ALOHA and PHAST software tools. The primary consequence types are pressure wave, thermalradiations and toxic gas release. The stable atmospheric stability conditions , ambient temperature of 30 oC,wind speed was 1.5 m/s. and humidity (50%) used for Consequence Analysis.
Note 2Apart from the maximum credible releases, the conservative approach appears in adoption of atmosphericconditions, used in the dispersion calculation. In general, the assumptions/ conditions will result in the largestdamage distances. Hence, it must be remembered that this analysis will be pessimistic & conservative inapproach & is only a planning tool. Its use should not be extended without understanding its limitations.

SECTION 5 FAILURE FREQUENCY ANALYSIS.
5.1 Flange gasket failure/ gland failure. An accident/ event for gasket leakage/ failure can
be termed as “quite probable”. The hole size in a gasket failure may be that due to
complete section between bolt holes or something much smaller. The hole size for a
complete section failure of a gasket is usually calculated.
5.2 Failure of transfer line. The possible route of hazardous material going out of
containment in open atmosphere is the rupture of a transfer line. The case of guillotine
type failure of tanker unloading hose / transfer line or bottom nozzle undergoing
guillotine type of failure also are rather low. Failure frequency as per published
literature for such lines is low and such events can be considered, “foreseeable”.
5.3 Accidental spill of flammable solvent and uncontrolled spreading pool followed by
fire is considered as Worst Possible Scenario. It is to be noted that loss caused due to
this event is very high but the probability is low; however, in case of neglect of
maintenance or natural calamities such as earthquake the possibility exists. Such
events are unlikely to happen and are not credible. Failure frequency of catastrophic
rupture of such pressure vessel is very low i.e. 3 per million per year.
5.4 EVENT TREE
Event trees begin with an initiating event and work toward a final result. This
approach is inductive. The method provides information on how a failure can occur
and the probability of occurrence. Frequency of the incident is estimated by Event
Tree.

5.5 Ignition probability
*0.5 if distance to 50 % LFL falls within plant (with control of company) and *0.1 if distanceto 50 % LFL falls inside electrically classified area.
5.6 Initiating event frequency
Initiating event frequency/yr range (all causes included ) is 1 x 10-2 to 1x 10-3
Typical frequency values assigned to initiating events
Regular failure 1x10 -1
Gas kept/ packing blow out 1x10-2 yr Piping leak (10% sections), 100m 1x10-3/yr
Piping residual failure ,100m ,full breach 1x10-5 /yr Safety value opens spuriously 1x10-2 /yr
Operator failure (to execute routines procedure, well trained, unstressed, not fatigued)range 1 x 10-1 to 1 x 10-3/ opportunity
Raf: Table 11.3, Chemical process safety fundametals with apptications ; Dainel A Crowl /Joseph L.Second edition,
76
5.7 Review stage of Initiating event frequency
In the review meeting on draft QRA report on 8th July 2017 at Innovassynth Technologies
(I ) Pvt. Ltd. Site The Initiating event frequency was revised from 1 x 10 -2 to 1 x 10 -3 in
consideration of past safe operating expertise and maintenance of the hydrogenation facility
a )I n case initiating event frequency range (all causes included ) is 1 x 10-2 the estimated
Fire/ Explosion frequency becomes 4.4 x 10 -3 and 1,52 x 10 -3 for the above mentioned
ignition probibilities respectively
b) I n case initiating event frequency range (all causes included ) is 1 x 10-3 the estimated
Fire/ Explosion frequency becomes 4.4 x 10 -4 and 1,52 x 10 -4 for the above mentioned
ignition probibilities respectively
.
It is reasonable to assume this change however it should be noted it depends heavily
upon the maintenance of the hardware and of the management procedures; neglect of
either will lead to loss of protection and the rating will rise to the original estimate (a )
indicated above .

SECTION 7 : RISK MITIGATION MEASURES.
1 PP proposed to relocate Flammable solvent Tank farm from Block location no 19
near HT transmission line to proposed new tank farm .
2 Ensure any organic contaminated water generated during fire fighting operations,
sprinkler operation, accidental spill / floor washing at plant and parking locations not
entering storm drain or percolating in soil or water bodies.
3 Prepare SOP for vehicles, earthmoving machinery, cranes movements during
Demolition and construction activity near flameproof solvent storage / handling areas
and near HT transmission line.
4 Maintain hydrogen inventory up to 0.09 Mt.

manufacturing activity in the vulnerable zone.
6 Provide leak detector at the vent of Scrubber Sets used for Cyanation, Bromination
processes; Thionyl Chloride and POCL3 handling at plant PP3, 4, and 5. Also
provide closed charging arrangement of hazardous chemicals to reactor and leak
detector on shop floor .
7 Separate chemicals storage in bulk considering the compatibility and reactivity
hazards at tank farms, stores and warehouses. Segregate the laboratory chemicals
while storage on storage racks considering functional groups compatibility and
reactivity hazards .
8 A cyanide antidote kit should be kept in immediate work area and must be available
rapidly available.
9 Extend the fire hydrant network to the proposed installations.
79
10 Products (25 nos. ) are eliminated hence corresponding specific Raw materials for
those products will also be eliminated . Ensure safe disposal of such the left over
raw materials.
11 Zinc , copper , Manganese oxides ,lithium , Zirconium in various compounds forms
likely in effluent stream from Organometal products need attention for proper disposal
12 Disaster management plan: To address the residual risk issues a practical working
document DMP for site as per the format specified under "The the MSIHC Rules,
1989" is to be updated detailing Emergency organization , roles and responsibilities
and dove tailing information for offsite disaster control plan.

ANNEXURE 5 : GLOSSARY
AcceptanceCriteria (Risk).
: Defines the level of risk to which an individual is exposed, as either tolerable(negligible risk), intolerable or within the ALARP region.
Consequence : This is the severity associated with an event in terms of toxic doses, fire or explosionetc., i.e. the potential effects of a hazardous event.
ERPG : The Emergency Response Planning Guidelines.ERPG 1: The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearlyall individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing other than mildtransient adverse health effects or perceiving a clearly defined, objectionable odor.ERPG 2: The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearlyall individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developingirreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms which could impair anindividual's ability to take protective action.ERPG 3: The maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearlyall individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developinglife-threatening health effects.
Frequency : This is the number of occurrences of an event expressed per unit time. It is usuallyexpressed as the likelihood of an event occurring within one year.
Hazard : A physical situation with the potential for human injury, damage to property, damageto the environment or some combination of these.
HazardousScenario
: The identified isolatable sections and/or those which have been broken down intoscenarios for specific items of equipment.
IDLH : Immediately Dangerous To Life And Health.The maximum concentration would not cause any escape imparting symptoms orirreversible health effects to a person exposed for 30 minutes.
Individual Risk : The frequency at which an individual may be expected to sustain a given level of harmfrom the realization of specified hazards.
Individual RiskContours.
: As IR (Individual Risk) is calculated at a point, calculating the IR at many pointsallows the plotting of IR contours, these being lines that indicate constant levels ofrisk. Most commonly used are the 1 chance per million-year contour and the 10chances per million-year contour.
Individual RiskOf Fatality.
: Individual risk with “harm” measured in terms of fatality. It is calculated at a particularpoint for a stationary, unprotected person for 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.Normally measured in chances of fatality per million years.
Individual RiskOf Injury.
: Similar to individual risk of fatality, however with “harm” measured in terms of injury.
106
Isolatable Section. : A system of pipes or vessels containing the hazardous materials that are bounded byspecific isolation points.
Isolation Point. : A point in the process, which can be used to isolate one part of the process from therest of the system.
LEL. : Lower Flammability Limit.Expressed as % by volume of flammable gas in air. This is the minimum concentrationof gas in air mixture which can ignite. Gas air mixtures below this concentration donot ignite.
Probability. : The expression for the likelihood of an occurrence of an event or an event sequence orthe likelihood of the success or failure of an event on test or demand. By definition,probability must be expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
QuantitativeRisk Assessment.
: A risk assessment undertaken by combining quantitative evaluations of eventfrequency and consequence.
Risk. : The combination of frequency and consequences, the chance of an event happeningthat can cause specific consequences.
Risk Reduction. : The process of risk assessment coupled to a systematic consideration of potentialcontrol measures and a judgment on whether they are reasonably practicable toimplement.
TEEL : Temporary Emergency Exposure Limits.TEEL-1: Maximum concentration in air below which it is believed nearly allindividuals could be exposed without experiencing other than mild transient healtheffects or perceiving a clearly defined objectionable odor.
TEEL-2: Maximum concentration in air below which it is believed nearly allindividuals could be exposed without experiencing or developing irreversible or otherserious health effects or symptoms that could impair their abilities to take protectiveaction.
TEEL-3: Maximum concentration in air below which it is believed nearly allindividuals could be exposed without experiencing or developing life-threateninghealth effects.
UFL : Upper Flammability Limit.Expressed as % by volume of flammable gas in air. This is the maximumconcentration of gas in air mixture which can ignite. Gas air mixtures above thisconcentration do not ignite.
Vapor CloudExplosion
: An accidental release of flammable liquid or gas, there is possibility that it may form acloud which can spread along the wind direction. Delayed ignition of the cloud awayfrom the source of release results in Vapor cloud explosion (flash back) and associatedblast/ over pressure effects.
