An analysis was performed to predict the frequency of release associated with transportation scenarios for four refineries and a chemical plant in the South Coast Basin using hydrofluoric acid (HF) in the alkylation process/chemical process. The analysis considers two settings. The first is the set of ongoing HF transportation scenarios, and the second is a projected set of HF and sulfuric acid transportation scenarios if the HF alkylation units of the refineries are replaced by sulfuric acid alkylation units. 5 refs., 9 figs., 10 tabs.
