1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Indian Oil Corporation Ltd (IOCL) is a premier public sector company in the Oil & Gas

sector and is engaged in the business of refining and retailing of petroleum products

including LPG in the country. It is the leading Indian corporate in the Fortune “Global

500’ listing ranked at the 119th position in the year 2015. IOCL is having about 129 POL

Depot/Terminals, 91 LPG Bottling Plants which serve every nook and corner of the

country. Indane (the trade name of LPG of IOCL) is supplied to the consumers through a

network of about 5,456 distributors (51.8% of the industry).The growth in demand of LPG

for domestic purpose is increasing at a rapid pace. To improve safety standards in

Petroleum Industry, Ministry constituted OISD which establishes standards/practices to be

followed in petroleum sector from time to time.

The latest version of OISD standard for LPG Plant is OISD 144. The OISD 144 has given

stipulation on safety distance to be maintained between different facilities in LPG Plant

and also it gives the minimum safety measures to be taken for LPG Plants. Also OISD 150

will be followed for mounded vessel. The OISD 144/150 is accepted by Industry and

safety council and Govt. of India has advised to implement the same in all LPG Plants

across the country.

The proposed project is expansion one and target time frame for construction and

commissioning of the proposed project is 24 months from the date of granting

Environmental Clearance (EC) and allied approvals.

PROPERTIES OF LPG

1. LPG has been identified as 'hazardous chemical' as per Manufacture, Storage

and Import of Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989/1994.

2. LPG marketed in India is governed by IS 4576 and test methods by is 1448. IS

4576 defines LPG as a mixture of light hydrocarbons derived from petroleum

which are gaseous at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure but

may be condensed to the liquid state at normal ambient temperature by the

application of moderate pressure.

3. LPG to be handled at the facility under study will be Propane - Butane mixture,

with small quantities of unsaturated hydrocarbons. LPG is highly flammable,

capable of producing fire and explosion hazards under certain conditions.

4. LPG at atmospheric pressure and temperature is a gas which is 1.5 to 2.0 times

heavier than air. It is easily liquefied under moderate pressure, Since LPG

vapour is heavier than air, it normally settles down at ground level/low lying

areas. This accumulation of LPG vapour gives rise to potential fire and

explosion.

16

5. LPG has an explosive limit range of 1.8% to 9.5% by volume of the gas in air.

This is considerably narrower than other common gaseous fuel. Combustion of

LPG increases the volume of products in addition to generation of heat. LPG

requires about 24 to 30 times its own volume of air for complete combustion

and yields 3-4 times its own volume of CO2. The heat of combustion is about

10,500 Kcal/kg.

6. LPG is colorless both in liquid and vapor phase. During leakage, vaporization

of LPG cools the atmosphere and condenses the water vapor contained in it

forming a white fog. This makes possible to see an escape of LPG.

7. LPG has a low viscosity (around 0.3 C.S. at 45°C) and can leak when other

petroleum products cannot. This property demands a high degree of integrity in

the pressurized systems handling LPG to avoid leakage.

8. LPG has a very faint smell and as such for detecting leakage of LPG, ethyl

mercaptan is generally added in the ratio approx 20 part mercaptan per million

liquid LPG (20 ppm).

9. Although it is not poisonous in vapor phase, it suffocates when present in large

concentrations due to displacement of oxygen. Immediately Dangerous to Life

& Health (IDLH) value of LPG is generally taken as 115000 ppm.

HAZARDS OF LPG

LPG is approximately twice as heavy as air when in gas form and will tend to sink

to the lowest possible level and may accumulate in cellars, pits, drains etc.

LPG in liquid form can cause severe cold burns to the skin owing to its rapid

vaporization.

Vaporization can cool equipment so that it may be cold enough to cause cold

burns.

LPG forms a flammable mixture with air in concentrations of between 2% and

10%.

It can, therefore, be a fire and explosion hazard if stored or used incorrectly.

Vapor/air mixtures arising from leakages may be ignited some distance from the

point of escape and the flame can travel back to the source of the leak.

17

At very high concentrations when mixed with air, vapor is an anesthetic and

subsequently an asphyxiant by diluting the available oxygen.

A vessel that has contained LPG is nominally empty but may still contain LPG

vapor and be potentially dangerous. Therefore treat all LPG vessels as if they were

full.

However, in case of non existence of any source of fire there will be no occurrence

of hazardous event and the cloud may get diluted to such a level that the mixture is

no longer explosive.

IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS (LPG)

Sr. No. Property Remark

1. Appearance and Odour Colorless and odorless gas when

pure. Normally marketed with

mercaptan odouring agent.

2. Composition Mixture of commercial propane,

butane and unsaturated

hydrocarbons.

3. Liquid Density 500 to 580 kg/m3 at 15 deg. C

depending on composition.

4. Vapor Density 1.5 To 2.0 times heavier than air.

5. Boiling Point - 50 to -0.5 deg. C.

6. Flammability Limits in Air LFL - 1.9% V/V.

UFL - 9.5% V/V.

7. Permissible Exposure Limit-

OSHA Standard

1000 ppm (1800 mg/m3 )

Different types of combustion reactions associated in case of release of LPG from

the containment are listed in the following sections.

18

Escaping jet of LPG from pressure vessels / piping, if ignited, causes a Jet flame.

The jet flame direction and tilt depend on prevailing leakage direction and

velocity. Damage, in case of such type of jet fires, is restricted within plant

boundary. However in case of mounded vessel there will be no question of such

occasion.

There are two more situations of LPG fire. One is Boiling Liquid Expanding

vapour explosion (BLEVE) and unconfined Vapor cloud explosion (UVCE).

BLEVE is not possible in mounded bullet. However, in second case, plants having

a layout as per OISD recommendation, maintaining of safe operating Practice and

other precautionary measures, the above event can be avoided.

SAFETY PHILOSOPHY

LPG is a common material used extensively in households as well as industry. If

its characteristics are understood well and proper precautions as stipulated in

various codes and standards are followed, it is an easy and safe material to handle.

Accordingly, in most of the developed / developing countries, where LPG is

consumed in million tons / year, specific codes and standards are available for

storing and handling of LPG.

LPG INSTALLATIONS - CODES & STANDARDS

Codes and standards which are generally followed for LPG installations are as

follows:

1. NFPA (National Fire Protection Association of USA) Standards

- NFPA-58: Standard for the Storage and Handling of Liquefied

Petroleum Gases

- NFPA-59: LP-Gases at Utility Gas Plants

2. API (American Petroleum Institute) Standards

- API-2510: Design & Construction of LPG installations

3. IP (Institute of Petroleum) Standards.

- IP-9: Liquefied Petroleum Gas - Large Bulk Storage of Pressurized

and Refrigerated LPG

19

4. The Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 1981 of India

(SMPV Rules)

5. OISD (Oil Industry Safety Directorate) Guidelines

- OISD RP-158: Recommended Practices on Storage and Handling of Bulk

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), 1997. (This is being followed by Public

Sector Refineries and Oil Industry in India. It is currently a guide and not a

mandatory code or standard).

LPG storage tanks like any other pressurized vessels may be designed as per any

of the following well known international or local codes / standards:

- ASME, Section VIII, Division I

- ASME, Section VIII, Division II
