Determination of Airborne Quantity and Consequence Analysis of 1,3-Butadiene Release from a Petrochemical Plant Pipeline

Article Preview

Abstract:

1,3-Butadiene is a chemical that is extremely flammable and toxic. Therefore, in this study, airborne quantity of 1, 3-butadiene was determined by the chemical exposure index (CEI) and local meteorological data were used for consequence analyzing. Furthermore, heavy gas model was used for the modeling of 1,3-butadiene vapor cloud dispersion using the Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres (ALOHA) software, and threat zone in different stability classes was determined.
