Rheinland refinery accident 2014: CFD prediction of atmospheric dispersion of smoke

  • Industrial fire and explosion hazards are most often also associated with the dispersion of toxic substances. These substances can be gases, liquids, solids or in form of aerosols. The critical toxic exposure limits to People and enviroment from such substances are regulated by the concerned authorities of the countries. In order to comply with the defined regulation estimation of such critical limits must be carried out by different semi-empirical and phenomenological models/methods for risk assessment. Many of such methods provide a qualitative estimation of time and space dependent extrimities of toxicity. The overwhelm development of computational capacity has made it possible to perform Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation by solving the three-dimensional transport equations for mass momentum and species in lower and upper atmosphere, respectively. CFD simulation not only provides a detailed 3D distribution of toxic particulates/gases in the neighbourhood of the plantIndustrial fire and explosion hazards are most often also associated with the dispersion of toxic substances.

CFD simulation not only provides a detailed 3D distribution of toxic particulates/gases in the neighbourhood of the plant but also helps to study the worst-case sceanrios. In the past several small- and large-scale accidents occured in oil and gas plants in different parts of the world including the recent one in Rheinland refinery near Cologne in Germany. This work deals with this accident and provides a methodology to predict the critical exposure limits of smoke emitted by a toluene tank fire by means of CFD simulation.zeige mehrzeige weniger
