Consequences of chemical releases
To help district/local administration to act effectively and efficiently in response to emergency situations which has an impact on people's health and other services during industrial disasters, industry is characterised by the following components:
Storage vessels of chemicals, these chemicals may be toxic or inflammable in nature.
Piping systems for transportation of the chemicals, solvents, water, steams, etc. to the process area.
Process area where reaction takes places at various temperature, pressure in reaction vessels.
Topography and land use pattern along with the local community in the area.
There are always possibilities of the release of these chemicals either due to material failure of the pipes or vessels or due to high pressure and high temperature. Release is also due to human faults. The released chemical may be of toxic in nature like chlorine, ammonia, etc or inflammable like hydrogen, LPG, etc. creating losses to human life environment and property.
The behaviour of the released chemical is depicted in flow diagram as In summary the consequence of the released chemical will be either fire or explosion if it is flammable. The term like used in the flow diagram are discussed in other modules. The toxic chemical will spread in the form of toxic cloud and the behaviour of the cloud will depend on the climatic conditions and on the amount of the released chemical
