Assessment of the Impact of Diesel Oil Spill Using ALOHA Software in the Summer: A case study of a fertilizer factory in an industrial estate

Abstract

          This study aims to assess the impact of diesel oil spills during the summer. The research utilizes the ALOHA software and Google Earth, A case study of a fertilizer factory in an industrial estate. The study employs simulation methods to model the leaking tank, chemical is burning and forms a pool fire, evaluating the extent of thermal radiation dispersion. The simulation results indicate that a diesel oil spill can lead to an immediate fire, causing intense thermal radiation. The red zone 36 meters may result in fatalities and structural damage. The orange zone 52 meters could cause second-degree burns, while the yellow zone 82 meters may lead to blistering injuries. The findings highlight the necessity for developing preventive measures and emergency management strategies in industrial plants to mitigate risks and potential impacts.
