Abstract:
As Ethylene Oxide is a highly toxic, flammable, and hazardous material, the consequences of any malfunction in an Ethylene Oxide reactor may be irreparable. The aim of this thesis is to evaluate the probable consequences of an accident in Morvarid Petrochemical Co.’s Ethylene Oxide Reactor in order to find probable hazardous scenarios. In this project, probable accidents were modelled and evaluated by Phast software in different scenarios, and the outcomes were investigated. In addition, if necessary, a set of solutions were proposed to decrease casualties in hazardous scenarios. The results may be used to change layouts according to Consequence Modelling. Results illustrated that individuals must wear safety mask into the radius of 90 meters around the reactor and use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment within the 100 meter radius. Also other equipment in this range, should fire proof
