Off-site consequence analysis scenario development and model selection
- Tracer ES and T, San Marcos, CA (United States)
The Environmental Protection Agency has recently promulgated the Risk Management Program (RMP) Rule in compliance with the Clean Air Act Section 112(r). The RMP Rule requires that facilities satisfying the criteria perform a Hazard Assessment of an accidental release at their facility. This Hazard Assessment includes a Worst Case release as well as alternative releases that could occur at the facility. This paper describes a methodology developed to comply with California`s Risk Management and Prevention Program regulation to arrive at reasonable release scenarios for the alternative release cases. Release scenario development is initiated during the Process Hazards Analysis. After selection of scenarios a model must be utilized to determine the extent of the resulting cloud. Some examples of what effect a scenario can have on the resulting hazard region are also presented.
