This case study will present findings from a project where BakerRisk developed risk mitigation options to protect the occupants of a control room building from the consequences posed by toxic hazards in a Chemical Processing facility. The primary hazards considered in the study were Ammonia and, hydrogen sulfide. For the purpose of determining the maximum concentrations that would occur inside the building, infiltration rate for the building was determined using a CO2 tracer gas test. Furthermore, infiltration rate for various weather conditions was predicted using analytical models.
As the biofuels industry continues to expand in support of global decarbonization mandates and objectives, facility owners and developers are being challenged to balance production efficiency, operational reliability, and personnel safety.
As high hazard facilities, biofuels sites should focus on developing a fire protections strategy informed by performance-based analysis so strategies implemented meet the unique challenges found at each facility.
