Abstract

The prevalence of LPG leakage is a threat to the safety of adjacent residents, the quality of the air, and occupational safety. It is necessary to analyze the toxicity of the releasing LPG for environmental safety and human health. The study is mainly concerned with the dangers posed by LPG emissions during bottling into cylinders. In this study, the areal location of hazardous atmosphere (ALOHA) models have been used to evaluate the risk of fire and explosion from various LPG compounds assuming variable amount of LPG released into the environment with constant wind velocity. The flammable area of the isobutene was less than the propane and butane. Consequences of hazards such as the release of hazardous substances into the environment are one of the most important tasks in increasing the degree of safety at the design stage or operation of industrial units. It's essential to assess fluid behavior after exposure to the environment, as well as the resulting emissions and potential injuries, as well as the safest radius for fire, explosion, and hazardous emissions. The results were utilized to derive appropriate evaluations of risk assessments, which can be made accessible to the industry in the hopes of reducing the possible effect of such accidents in the future.
