Assessment of Environmental Risks of the Gas Transportation Process by Main Pipelines

Abstract

The problem of ensuring technological reliability and environmental friendliness of the natural gas transportation process is considered along with the main approaches to risk assessment and management at industrial facilities. To increase the trouble-free operation of the gas transmission system, a comprehensive risk management system has been proposed. Investigations into the ecological condition of the ground layer of air are underway in Bogorodchany district. Maps representing the distribution of harmful matter concentrations, coefficients of concentrations, coefficients of ecological danger, and the map of total contaminating index are used in the investigations. General chart of ecological risk is represented here. In particular, the objects for transporting gas are analyzed. The method for calculating the area detonation and the explosive cloud distribution is considered during damage of the main gas pipeline. Area detonating and distance of mixture explosive cloud distribution are calculated at different wind speeds.
