13. Off site Mock Drill Scenario :
Ammonia release from Horton Sphere bottom outlet line due to line failure at the downstream of Emergency Shut Down Valve.

14. Physical Properties of Ammonia
Anhydrous Ammonia is present both in the gaseous and liquid form
Ammonia readily dissolves in water
Ammonia vapour is colourless and has pungent odour
Ammonia is lighter than air. However ammonia vapours produced from cold liquid may form ammonia-air mixture heavier than air
The threshold limit value of Ammonia is 25 PPM by volume. Detectable due to its own odour at 2-5 PPM.

15. Physical Properties of Ammonia Contd...
The main physical characteristics of Ammonia are given below: a) Normal Boiling Point : C b) Critical Temperature : OC c) Critical Pressure : bar d) Freezing Point : OC e) Latent Heat of Vapourisation : J/kg at atm and -330C f) Explosive Limits : % v/v g) Auto-ignition Temperature : 651OC

16. Toxic Effects of Ammonia
In general, Ammonia Gas under high concentration may cause irritation to eyes and respiratory tract.
Skin contact of liquid Ammonia as well as strong Ammonia may cause burns.

17. Its concentration-wise general toxic effects are given below :

18. Personal Safety Protective Equipment
The following safety appliances, if properly used, would considerably reduce the extent of injury when a person is exposed to Ammonia release.
Protective Equipment Applicable Respiratory Protection: a) Ammonia Canister Mask For small leak concentration less than 2% & for min b) Self Contained Breathing For any Ammonia Concentration Apparatus c) Air line mask with For continuous work compressed air supply d) Wet cotton pad For temporary relief

19. 2). Body protection: a) Rubber/PVC suit with Gum - For body protection
2).Body protection: a) Rubber/PVC suit with Gum For body protection boot against liquid ammonia b) Cotton Overall For body protection against vapour Ammonia c) Safety shower For body protection after exposure
3).Eye Protection: a) Face shield For liquid Ammonia b) Panorama Goggles For vapour Ammonia c) Eye wash fountain For eye protection immediately after exposure
