1. INTRODUCTION

Angola LNG is operating a LNG plant in Northern Angola, near Soyo to liquefy and export gas
produced from offshore Angola fields.

Gas is taken from LNG plant to supply the domestic users located in the new industrial area near
Soyo.

A Distribution Gas Pipeline (DGP) will be laid between LNG plant and the Gas Receiving Distribution
Unit (GRDU).

This gas will be filtered in the GRDU and distributed to load users in particular the new power plant.

The FALCÃO PROJECT EPC consists in the review and updating of the DGP and GRDU FEED
UPDATE prepared in 2013. Since the composition of the inlet gas has changed, new calculations
were made to verify the required safety distances.

2. SCOPE OF DOCUMENT

To be able to reduce the consequence of hazardous events, safety distances are calculated for the
following hazardous events:
- Jet fire,
- Dispersion of flammable gas leak,
- Explosion,
- Ignited cold vent.

This means that by applying a safety distance between areas (equipment) a hazardous event in one
area will not impact other areas to an extent where their integrity and/or the safety of people working /
living in these areas could be put at risk.

The following safety distances will be calculated for both the GRDU process area and for the
Domestic Gas Pipeline (DGP) inlet:
- Fire zone,
- Restricted area,
- Impacted area,
- Location of ESDV.

For new gas composition the distances will be computed using TNO effects software (version 10.1.1).

Inside the impacted area (but outside the restricted area): People might be subject to irreversible
effects caused by a major failure of the installation. However, during normal plant operations,
permanent prejudice to human beings is not expected

Inside the restricted area: The consequences of an incident or from normal operation can be severe
enough to cause permanent prejudice to human beings and therefore the restricted area shall be off-
limits to public.

Fire zones are the areas within the installation where equipment are grouped by nature and/or
homogeneous level of risk attached to them.
The partition of an installation into fire zones results in a significant reduction of the level of risk.

An example of the area zoning is presented in appendix B.

5. CALCULATION METHODS

5.1. EFFECTS (TNO)

EFFECTS software (version 6.6) is used for modelling the new composition.

5.2. GENERALITIES ABOUT PHAST

DNV Technica PHAST software (version 6.6) is used for the modelling of gas cloud dispersion.

The hazard associated to the cloud depends on its size, location and concentration-profile. These
parameters all change with time, and the program must calculate and record these changes in order
to correctly describe the cloud and its hazards. The calculations have been performed using the
Unified Dispersion Model (or UDM), which produces a table giving the essential cloud data at various
time steps from the start of the release.

The UDM is an advanced similarity model capable of describing a wide range of types of accidental
releases. The main characteristic of similarity models is that profiles for concentration, velocity, and
temperature are assumed. The UDM uses a particularly flexible form for the concentration profile,
allowing for sharp-edged profiles which become more diffuse downwind. The vertical cross section is
in general an ellipse while elevated, and a truncated ellipse while touching the ground.

(2) Leak hole diameter


- For the fire zone and ESDV safety distance calculation a maximum leak hole size of 20 mm
is considered. It is generally recognized as corresponding to the full bore rupture of a 1” line /
tapping.
- For the restricted and impacted safety distance calculation the minimum leak hole size of 50
mm is considered. It is generally recognized as the minimum leak size to be considered for
“major failure” events, when the more stringent value of 20% of the largest pipe diameter is
deemed too conservative. As the GRDU process is very simple, with non-corrosive gas, mild
piping stress conditions and very low risk of damage to the pipes from handling or from vibrating
equipment, and as the lines will be buried as much as feasible, this “low end” value of 50mm is
considered acceptable.
(3) Cold vent radiations have been calculated in Ref [3].
(4) Cold vent dispersion (emergency operation) has been calculated in Ref [4].

This implies that consequences of a fire, flammable gas leak or an explosion corresponding to the
credible event likely to occur in the concerned fire zone, shall not impact other fire zones to an extent
where their integrity could be put at risk.

5.4. GAS COMPOSITION

The gas composition is provided in % mol in Table 1 - Gas composition, as per the “Heat & Material
Balance Report”, Ref. [5] or Design Basis, Ref. [6].

In order to understand the need to change the safety distance calculations, the composition from the
“FEED phase” and the new composition considered in detail engineering are presented in Table 1.

PHAST Software directly calculates the LFL of the gas mixture. LFL are given in ppm in following
Table 2 - Gas chemical characteristics. For the new composition, the LFL is calculated with EFFECTS
software. The value is also presented in the same table.

The impacted area safety distance from process fire zone boundary, due to explosion, is 118 m.

If the impacted area is not within the GRDU fence, and thus not under the control of COMPANY, it
shall be agreed with the local authorities that the limit of impacted area shall
be the limit for construction of buildings, in particular permanent settlement, or operation and
transportation means open to public.

See Figure 6 and Figure 7 in appendix A for graphical representation of the calculated results.

8. SAFETY DISTANCE INSIDE GRDU PROCESS AREA

According to API RP 14 J, Ref. [8], ignition sources shall be segregated from fuel sources by
separation of equipment. The incinerator package (fired process) is considered to be an ignition
source. The other unfired process equipment (gas pig receiver, scrubber and fiscal metering package)
are considered to be fuel sources.

Therefore the incinerator package shall be located at a sufficient safety distance from any other
unfired process equipment. According to good engineering practices, it shall be located at 30 m from
any unfired process equipment.

The impacted area safety distance from the cold vent tip, due to radiation, is 105 m.

These data determine the overall footprint of the GRDU plant. The fence shall be located at the limit
of the restricted area. As the impacted area is not within the GRDU fence, and thus not under the
control of COMPANY, it shall be agreed with the local authorities that the limit of impacted area shall
be the limit for construction of buildings, in particular permanent settlement, or operation and
transportation means open to public.

10. DOMESTIC GAS PIPELINE (DGP) INLET

As the gas composition, process conditions and the maximum hole sizes are assumed to be the same
as for the GRDU facility, the safety distances calculated for the GRDU process area can be applied
for the DGP inlet.

11. CONCLUSIONS

The following minimum safety distances have been calculated for the GRDU process area:

- fire zone safety distance


- restricted area safety distance
- impacted area safety distance
- safety distance for ESDV location
- safety distance cold vent

The safety distances for the cold vent (restricted area and impacted area) are extracted from the Ref.
[3] and the Ref. [4].

The fire zone safety distance is 32 m from the process fire boundary (equipment located outside this
area cannot be impacted).

The safety distance for ESDV location is 31 m from the process fire zone boundary. If the inlet / outlet
ESDV cannot be located at this distance, the ESDV shall be fitted with PFP or be buried.

The incinerator package shall be located, within the process fire zone, at 30 m from any other unfired
process equipment.

The restricted area safety distance is 81 m from the process fire zone boundary (location of the fence;
buildings outside this area do not have to be additionally protected i.e no gas detection, fire proofing).

The impacted area safety distance is 118 m from the process fire zone boundary. As the impacted
area is not within the GRDU fence, and thus not under the control of COMPANY, it shall be agreed
with the local authorities that the limit of impacted area shall be the limit for construction of buildings,

The different safety distances need to be interpreted as shown in Appendix B.

The restricted area safety distance from the cold vent tip is 35 m.

The impacted area safety distance from the cold vent tip is 105 m.

The safety distances calculated for the GRDU process area shall also be applied for the DGP inlet. In
this case, the DGP fence is not possible to comply with this distances. Nevertheless, as this fence is
inside an industrial area, the safety distances are complied by this other fence.
