Abstract

Gu-mi hydrogen fluoride leak accident in 2012 was amplified social anxiety for chemical accidents. To relieve these anxieties Off-site Risk Assessment was introduced in 2015. Off-site Risk Assessment is targeted at most chemicals, and most of the high-pressure-toxic gases which are mainly used in high-tech industries such as semi conductor, display, Photovoltaic panels industry are included in the substance of the Off-site Risk Assessment. Since Korean companies occupy a high market share in high-tech industries, high pressure-toxic domestic gas consumption is constantly increasing. Accordingly, it is expected to increase the possibility of accidents. In accordance with the circumstances, this study was to conducted Consequence Analysis(CA) about high pressure-toxic gases those are high demand in domestic. CA was used for ALOHA developed by US EPA & US NOAA and the CA result of Arsine was the largest at 4,700 m. CA results are expected to be utilized for determining the effective Safety distances when high pressure-toxic gas leak.

2012년 구미 불화수소 누출사고 이후 화학 물질 사고에 대한 사회적 불안감이 증폭되었고, 이러한 불안감 해소를 위해 2015년부터 장외영향평가제도가 도입되었다. 장외영향평가제도는 대부분의 화학물질을 대상으로 하며, 반도체, 디스플레이, 태양광 산업 등 첨단산업 분야에서 주로 사용되는 대부분의 고압 독성가스가 이에 포함된다. 우리나라 기업들이 첨단산업 분야에서 높은 경쟁력을 보유한 만큼, 국내에서 고압 독성가스 사용량은 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며 이에 따라 사고발생 가능성도 높아질 것으로 예상된다. 이러한 상황에 따라 본 연구에서는 국내에서 사용되는 고압 독성가스 중 제조량 및 사용량이 높은 물질을 대상으로 미국 환경보호청과 미국 해양대기국이 공동 개발한 ALOHA 프로그램을 활용하여 사고영향범위를 평가하였으며, 알진의 사고영향범위가 4,700 m로 가장 넓은 것으로 나타났다. 사고영향범위 결과는 고압 독성가스 누출 시 효과적인 안전거리 결정에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
