T1 - Pool and tank fires - Are we really prepared? N2 - The industrial fire accidents e.g. Buncefield (2005) and Jaipur (2009) have come up with several issues concerning safe storage and transportation of flammable liquids. The pre and post fire consequences are therefore important to be analyzed prior to the handling of flammable fuels. Pool or/and tank fire is the most often seen scenario after the leak/spill of liquid fuel. An overview of the typical scenarios from large hydrocarbon and organic peroxide pool fires and their respective safety distances for the people and the infrastructure are the important subjects of this paper.

But during the last years the applicability of the UN test H.4 has been questioned for solid substances. Therefore, three organic peroxidesand one self-reactive substance have been investigated in 5 kg and 20 kg packages as well as in the UN test H.4 in a 500 mL dewar vessel. The SADT values determined with the different methods match. The UN test H.4 seems to be well suited also for solid substances at least for 20 kg or 60 L.

T1 - Numerical prediction of safety distances from large pool fires of organic peroxides N2 - Organic peroxides are energetic substances liable to decompose due to exothermic reactions when exposed to uncontrolled temperature, contamination, confinement and quantity. Their safe storage and transportation are the prime concern and chemical industries and regulating authorities. Their accidental release may and most often lead to shape of a pool. In present study, safety distances from such large pool fires (diameter d = 3.4 m) of organic peroxides are numerically predicted by solving the reactive, 3-D time dependent Navier-Stokes equations with reliable assumptions. The present model is validated against the data on buoyant turbulent diffusion flames. The safety distances predicted by simulation assume three regions in a fully developed fire i.e. hot spot, luminous zone and a flame surface. The time averaged data of temperatures of these regions lead to better estimation of irradiances against the measured data. A developed sphere analogy method (for a special class of organic peroxides) for maximum surface emissive power prediction is also verified.

It will be shown that an additional screening test may be helpful but the information obtained from the UN tests are more important to characterise the specific properties of a substance under different conditions.

For the peroxides under investigation, we demonstrate good agreement with the experimental SADT.

T1 - Interpretations of temperature measurements in organic peroxide pool fires N2 - Most of the measurements of temperatures in large pool fires are indirect and present a number of complexities due to the interactions of convection, radiation and soot blockage. In the present work these influences for two organic peroxide [tert-butyl peroxybenzoate (TBPB) and tert-butyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate (TBPEH)] pool fires are analysed. Thermocouple measured temperature in the clear flame zone i.e. combustion zone are found to be 250-400 K lower than from the thermographic measurements. The convective and radiative heat flux contributions from the fire on temperature measurements are discussed. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulations have been performed for large pool fires and the predicted time averaged flame temperatures were found to be in qualitative agreement with measurements due to the stoichiometric combustion model used in the present simulations.

N2 - IGUS is the International Group of Experts on the Explosion Risks of Unstable Substances. IGUS was established in 1962 with the objective to harmonize test methods used by different countries to identify and quantify the explosive properties of unstable materials. Over the years, IGUS has continued to offer scientists, who are advisers to their governments, and others, a forum to exchange data and information. The Energetic and Oxidizing Substances (EOS) working group as a sub-group of IGUS is dealing with test methods, Classification and safety aspects relating to organic peroxides, self-reactive substances and other energetic substances, fertilizers, ammonium nitrate and oxidizers. The EOS working group holds an annual meeting alternating between Europe, the United States and Japan. The 2011 meeting took place from the 27th to the 29th of April 2011 at the Madison Hotel in Washington, D. C. The meeting was hosted by the Organic Peroxide Producers Safety Division (OPPSD) of the Society of Plastics Industry, Inc. (SPI). This was the fourth EOS meeting held in the USA since 1994. Of particular importance is the fact that 39 colleagues from authorities, universities, research institutes and industries attended the meeting. The delegates came from USA, Canada, China, France, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Italy, Japan, United Kingdom and Germany. This confirms the breadth and scope of this forum and the value the participants associate with being able to contact other colleagues from around the world enabling the effective exchange of scientific results and discussion on the wide-ranging Problems concerning energetic and oxidizing materials.

Instead the decomposition temperature largely controls the same. The dependence of mass burning rate on the decomposition temperatures namely self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) and extrapolated onset temperature measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) for organic peroxide pool fires are identified and correlations are developed.

A1 - Rotureau, P. A1 - Wehrstedt, Klaus-Dieter T1 - Predictive Methods for Determining the Thermal Decomposition Properties of Hazardous Substances N2 - Due to the fast development and availability of computers, predictive approaches are increasingly used in the evaluation process of hazardous substances complementary to experiments. Their use was recommended as alternative to experimental testing by the REACH regulation to complete the lack of knowledge on properties for existing substances that must be registered before 2018 (upon quantities). Among the proposed predictive approaches, Quantitative Structure Property Relationships (QSPR) are powerful methods to predict macroscopic properties from the only molecular structure of substances. In that context, the HAZPRED project (2015-2018, founded by the SAF€RA consortium) aims to develop theoretical models (e.g. QSPR) and small-scale tests to predict complex physico-chemical properties (e.g. thermal stability, explosivity) of hazardous substances to complete the lack of knowledge on these hazardous substances quickly or to understand their decomposition behaviour better. In particular, this contribution will present the work done in this project on the physical hazards of organic peroxides and self-reactive substances: gathering of existing experimental data, new experimental campaigns, review of existing models and proposition of new estimation methods.
