Industry Cooperative Hydrogen Fluoride Mitigation Ambient Impact Assessment Program
The three-component Industry Cooperative HF Mitigation/Assessment Program (ICHMAP) was conducted to study and test techniques for mitigating accidental releases of hydrogen fluoride (HF) and alkylation unit acid (AUA) and to improve tools used to estimate ambient impacts from such releases. The three program components and their major objectives are: investigation of the effectiveness of water of augmented water application systems in mitigating accidental releases of both HF and AUA; assessment of vapor barriers in delaying and diluting accidental releases of heavier-than-air HF vapor clouds in an industrial setting and determine what impact such barriers might have on the consequences of an unconfined vapor cloud explosion; and development of validated ambient impact assessment computer models for calculating release rates and jet and plume dispersion of accidental releases of HF. 10 refs., 10 figs., 3 tabs.
