Killer Gases-H2S & SO2 ( Hydrogen Sulphide & Sulphur Dioxide )

3535



Introduction to H2S

Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) is an extremely dangerous chemical compound, causing serious incidents in the hydrocarbon industry every year. It is a colorless, highly toxic and flammable gas, heavier than air tends to settle in low areas, smell like rotten eggs ( सड़े अं�डे) in low concentration, its deadens the sense of smell in high concentration that has been identified as Major Accident Hazard (MAH) in GASCO operations. In the past there have been a number of H2S related Incidents in GASCO and other ADNOC Group companies, such as:• BuHasa Fatal Incident (2002).• Ruwais H2S Exposure Incident (2006).• Habshan LTI due to H2S Exposure Incident (2008).• Fatal Incidents in ADGAS and ADCO (2008 and 2009).

GASCO H2S Zone Classifications

In accordance with ADNOC COP V4 – 10 & 11 , GASCO H2S Standard HSE –ST - 016.

H2S Zone classified in to 3 zones

• Red Zone• Yellow Zone• Green Zone

4343




RED Zone:- A red Zone is considered to exist if there is a possibility of Hydrozen Sulphide release which could be rapidly lethal (more than 1000 ppm). The following stations are red zones under Pipelines Division.

RED Zone:- All 6 Stations of OAG Pipeline, MP – 21 NGL Station.

For RED Zone following access controls are required.• Only H2S Competent people shall enter.• H2S detector shall be worn.• Positive pressure full face escape mask shall be carried • Record to be maintained at MCR.

4444




As seen from above figure the red zone at BVS1 is spread throughout the facility as well as extending outside the fence area. The red zone is extending to a distance of 42 meters from ROV 9033 in South-South West (SSW) direction and 62 meters in South East direction.

4545



GASCO H2S Zone ClassificationsYellow Zone:- A yellow Zone is considered to exist if there is a possibility of Hydrozen Sulphide release which could be rapidly injurious ( 50 - 1000 ppm). The following stations are the yellow zones under Pipelines Division.

YELLOW Zone:- SV1, SV2 & SV3 of 20” Buhasa to Bab Manifold Pipeline.

For YELLOW Zone following access controls are required• Only H2S Competent people shall enter.• H2S detector shall be worn.• Positive pressure full face escape mask shall be carried.

4646



The yellow zone is localized and not spread throughout the facility. However for access restrictions, it is recommended to classify the entire station as yellow zone considering the small size of the facility.


4747




Green Zone:- A green zone is the area where the personnel would be able to safely evacuate in the event of an accidental release (less than 50 ppm) without the need for emergency escape set but where exposer above the TLV (5 ppm ) is possible. The following stations are the green zones under Pipelines Division.SV2, SV3 & 902 Receiver of 30” Bab – Ruwais NGL Pipeline.SV2, SV3 & 901 Receiver of 24” MP21 – Ruwais NGL Pipeline.BVS1, BVS2 & BVS3 of 36” Buhasa – Habshan Pipeline.BVS1, BVS2, BVS3 & BVS 4 of 36” Thamama C – Asab Pipeline.Madinat Zayed CRS (CRS 602)Bab Gas Manifold & Thamama C Gas Manifold

6060



NOISE

• “Noise” is unwanted or health damaging sound

6161



NOISE

The primary source of noise at the pipelines is flow noise. A high-frequency, random noise often occurs when gas and

liquid, travelling at high velocity through a valve, undergoes a rapid and severe drop in pressure. Short high excursions

(>85 dB) in noise levels may also result from specific operations such as venting, or from specific maintenance

operations. (Reference: Pipelines Division’s QHRA Report)

6262



Controls

Hearing protection (ear muffs and ear plugs) provided to all employees who may be exposed to high noise.

All employees receive in-house initial and annual training with respect to selection, use and care of PPE.

Supervisors conduct regular “tool box talks” with field personnel.

Medical surveillance program for Noise-Induced Hearing Loss in line with ADNOC COP V3-10.

Implementing OHRA and QHRA Report Recommendations like area barricading, dual hearing protection etc.

6363



6464



HEAT

Heat Related Illnesses

When body is unable to cool itself through sweating, heat related illness may occur. These can range from heat rash, heat cramps and heat

syncope (fainting) to life threatening heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

The most severe heat related illnesses are heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If left untreated, they could be fatal.

6565



Symptoms of Heat Exhaustion

Headaches, dizziness (चक्कर) or light-headedness

Weakness (नि�र्ब लता�)

Nausea & vomiting

Sweating with pale, clammy skin

Rapid breathing

Cramps in arms, legs or abdominal wall

Decreased or dark coloured urine

6666



Symptoms of Heat Stroke

Headaches, dizziness or light-headedness

Red, hot, dry skin with no sweating

Rapid deterioration in the level of response

Seizures or fits

Unconsciousness (र्ब�हो�श)

6767



In case of Heat Exhaustion or Heat Stroke

Call for medical help immediately

Move the victim to a cool, shaded area. If the symptoms include dizziness or light-headedness, lay the victim on his back. If the symptoms include nausea or vomiting, or the victim is unconscious, lay the victim on his side.

Loosen and remove any heavy clothing

Have the person drink cool water (a cup every 15 minutes), if able to do so.

In the case of heat stroke, cool the body by fanning and sponge with cold water. Place ice packs under the armpits and groin area.

6868



Prevention Strictly implement ‘mid break rule’ in summer by Abu Dhabi Government. Be aware of the symptoms of heat related illnesses and immediately inform Supervisor if they persist. Learn how to respond to heat related illnesses. Build up tolerance slowly to work in hot weather. Use the buddy system, with people working in pairs Perform the heaviest work during the coolest part of the day. Drink plenty of cool water before starting work. Continue to take cool water (a cup every 15 – 20 minutes) whilst working in hot environment Wear light, loose fitting, breathable clothing such as cotton. Take extra care when wearing personal protective clothing or equipment, such as respirator. Work in the shade, if possible. Take frequent short breaks in cool, shaded areas to allow the body to cool down. Maintain a balanced diet. Avoid tea, coffee and soft drinks. These beverages contain caffeine that increase the risk of heat related illnesses. Take extreme care if you have a history of high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney problems or fever. Implement and follow OHRA & QHRA Report recommendations related to Heat stress.
