Risk assessment on a large ammonia refrigeration system in central Copenhagen.
Author(s) : LINDBORG A.
Summary
The paper describes a risk assessment conducted on a large industrial refrigeration system, which contains a charge of 70 tonnes of ammonia and was originally built more than 125 years ago. It is located in central Copenhagen. The environmental authorities asked for a quantitative analysis of the effects of a sudden release of six tonnes of ammonia. The effects of the release on the system and building are analyzed as realistically as possible. The concentrations of ammonia gas and effects on humans at a distance of 200 meters from the main building are presented, and also other environmental effects explained.
