  12. Ammonia release from Horton Sphere bottom outlet line due to line failure at the downstream of Emergency Shut Down Valve. Off site Mock Drill Scenario :

  13. Physical Properties of Ammonia • Anhydrous Ammonia is present both in the gaseous and liquid form • Ammonia readily dissolves in water • Ammonia vapour is colourless and has pungent odour • Ammonia is lighter than air. However ammonia vapours produced from cold liquid may form ammonia-air mixture heavier than air • The threshold limit value of Ammonia is 25 PPM by volume. Detectable due to its own odour at 2-5 PPM.

  14. Physical Properties of Ammonia Contd... The main physical characteristics of Ammonia are given below:a) Normal Boiling Point : -330Cb) Critical Temperature : 132.4OCc) Critical Pressure : 114.25 bard) Freezing Point : -77OCe) Latent Heat of Vapourisation : 1370.76 J/kg at 1 atm and -330Cf) Explosive Limits : 16-25% v/vg) Auto-ignition Temperature : 651OC

  15. Toxic Effects of Ammonia • In general, Ammonia Gas under high concentration may cause irritation to eyes and respiratory tract. • Skin contact of liquid Ammonia as well as strong Ammonia may cause burns.

  16. Its concentration-wise general toxic effects are given below :

  17. Protective EquipmentApplicableRespiratory Protection:a) Ammonia Canister Mask - For small leak concentration less than 2% & for 10-20min. b) Self Contained Breathing - For any Ammonia Concentration Apparatus c) Air line mask with - For continuous work compressed air supplyd) Wet cotton pad - For temporary relief Personal Safety Protective Equipment The following safety appliances, if properly used, would considerably reduce the extent of injury when a person is exposed to Ammonia release.

  18. 2).Body protection:a) Rubber/PVC suit with Gum - For body protection boot against liquid ammoniab) Cotton Overall - For body protection against vapour Ammoniac) Safety shower - For body protection after exposure 3).Eye Protection:a) Face shield - For liquid Ammoniab) Panorama Goggles - For vapour Ammoniac) Eye wash fountain - For eye protection immediately after exposure

  19. Ammonia Canister Mask

  20. PVC suit with SCBA

  21. Horton Sphere • Type of Storage – Semi Refrigerated • Pressure – 3 kg/cm2 • Temperature – 0oC • Diameter – 17 Meters • Capacity – 1500 MT • Normal Inventory – 400 – 500 MT • Insulation – Poly Urethene Foam • Excess Flow Valves are installed at Liquid and vapour outlets. • Emergency Shut Down Valves are provided at both Liquid and vapour lines. • Decommissioning and inspection once in 5 years by third party as per SMPV Rules

  22. Date:30.05.2007, Time: 10:00 a.m. Assumed release rate : 3 Kgs/Sec. Exposure time : 15 minutes Total hold up volume in the pipeline between the two isovalves is around 500kgs. max. Plume Dispersion in meters for IDLH value (500ppm) of Ammonia : Down Wind : 1250 Meters. Cross Wind : 33 Meters. Wind direction : Plant NE. Off-site Mock Drill
