Analysis of Impact Range by Accident Type Following Propylene Oxide Leakage

Abstract

This study focuses on analyzing the impact range of toxicity, overpressure and radiant heat (pool fire and

boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion, BLEVE) resulting from a propylene oxide leakage accident and

proposes mitigation strategies to minimize damage. A risk assessment was conducted by designing accident

scenarios based on variables such as substance quantity and wind speed. The results indicated that toxicity

and BLEVE were the primary risk factors, and the risk level increased as the substance quantity increased and

wind speed decreased. For future mitigation strategies, it is suggested that a quantitative analysis of vapor

dispersion rates and dilution and effects under various environmental conditions be conducted, along with

preliminary research on optimizing absorbents and catalytic materials.
