Abstract

It is to quantitatively analyze the influence range of hydrogen sulfide leakage under different scenarios and the response law of various parameters, and then provide quantitative data for hydrogen sulfide leakage protection. According to the unified diffusion model and the heavy gas diffusion theory, the diffusion characteristics, concentration distribution and downwind distance of hydrogen sulfide under different leakage conditions were studied by means of Process Hazard Analysis Software Tool (PHAST) of DET NORSKE VERITAS (DNV). The results showed that the immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH) concentration downwind distance from the 661 m to the 2404 m increased when the leakage persisted for 1 min. The downwind distance and maximum cloud width of IDLH and maximum allowable concentration (MAC) have increased by 3~4 times. Changes in durations of 5 and 30 min were similar. At the same leakage aperture, the IDLH downwind distance was shortened by 31.4%, 23.8%, and 24.7%, respectively, when the mesopore and large holes leaked and ruptured. Correspondingly, the maximum cloud width has increased by 1.4~1.7 times. At a wind speed of 4 m/s, the IDLH and MAC downwind distance of the atmospheric stability E were 2.8 and 3.8 times than that of B, respectively. The IDLH and MAC downwind distances for medium stability D and wind speed 8.5 m/s were 49.2% and 39.3%, respectively, in comparison with that at a wind speed of 1.5 m/s. The downwind distance and the maximum cloud group width showed a logarithmic relationship as the surface roughness increased. The main hazardz that can be caused by hydrogen sulfide leakage were poisoning, followed by jet fire, flash fire and explosion. Quantitative analysis results can be used in leakage protection, considering both individual protection and safety isolation. The influence area of leakage can be used as the boundary of hydrogen sulfide safety isolation.
