Dear Citizens of Leuna, Merseburg and Spergau

This is the seventh, updated edition of the brochure for the information of the public by companies of the chemical com-plex Leuna in accordance with the regulation on hazardous incidents. The regulation on hazardous incidents commits the operators of incident areas to inform all persons and all facilities with public access, which could be affected by an incident, about the safety measures and the right behaviour in case of an incident. The information has to be checked regularly.

On behalf of the clarity and the comprehensibility the operators of incident areas at the chemical complex Leuna and the InfraLeuna GmbH as the responsible on-site infrastructure service provider have decided to fulfil the aforementioned dutyto inform with a common information brochure.Accordingly the objective of the brochure is to inform the citizens as well as the facilities of cities and communitieslocated within the immediate neighbourhood of the chemical complex Leuna about measures for the preventive avoidance of danger and about danger averting measures in an improbable however possible case.

As you can see in the brochure the measures to prevent hazardous incidents and the averting measures in case of anincident have the highest priority in the mission statement. This ensures that the facilities in hazardous areas are operated on a very high safety standard and hazardous incidents are improbable. For the case of an incident which howevercannot be ruled out completely (however-incident) the affected companies have made all technical, organizational andother arrangements to fight and embank immediately such a however-incident at any time.With the handover of this brochure the publisher would like to ask you to have the information concerning behaviour onhazardous incidents at the Leuna chemical complex handy available at any time. Please transmit all notes, suggestions and comments to the contact persons named in this brochure.

InfraLeuna GmbH provides infrastructure services for companies based on the closed Leuna chemical complex and therefore operates appropriate equipment, facilities and networks. With the exception of a storage and trans-shipment cen-ter for hazardous goods, containers for petroleum products and for substances with toxic, very toxic, oxidizing, inflamma-tory, flammable, highly flammable and / or environmental hazardous characteristics, the equipment, facilities and networks are not subject to the Hazardous Incident Ordinance.

The approval compliant operation of the storage and trans-shipment center for hazardous containers is ensured by the strict compliance with applicable safety and fire protection regulations as well as regular inspections by qualified operating personnel. The stored goods will be delivered in sealed, approved and for transporting suitable containers, stored and retrieved. Here no emissions are caused during normal operation.An internal alarm and hazard prevention plan and a safety report have been created for this operating unit, which are regu-larly updated and revised. Should it come to the release of substances in spite of all precautionary measures in connection with the operation of the storage, technical systems will secure the retention of the dangerous goods and the immediate alerting of the sites fire brigade to fight the effects of the incident. A safety analysis and a concept for the prevention of hazardous incidents have demonstrated that the consequences of a release of substances have no adverse effects on the public.

On the basis of appropriate agreements and regulatory approvals InfraLeuna GmbH also provides a variety of services for the operators of plants on the Leuna chemical complex which are subject to the Hazardous Incident Ordinance for the prevention, fighting and containment of incidents. The department safety / quality / environmental protection supports companies with plants subject to the application of the Hazardous Incident Ordinance especially in matters of prevention and security coordination. This concerns, for example, the elaboration of the internal alarm and danger prevention plans that need to be created by each company with critical areas and have to be submitted to the responsible authorities for confirmation. For increased clarity, these legally binding internal alarm and danger prevention plans are summarized into an informal, legally non-binding alarm and danger prevention plan for the Leuna chemical complex in coordination with the companies concerned. Finally, the department safety / quality / environmental protection coordinates the publishing of this brochure.

The department site security / works fire brigade also provides services in the field of prevention, particularly for fire pre-vention. It has all necessary human and technical resources to fight any incidents and to limit the spread of pollutants. The control center of this department provides therefore the necessary information and ensures the coordination with all affected parties, including the control center of the district administration of the Saalekreis.

The operational capability of the squad and the technology of the works fire brigade, which also includes a rescue service, is guaranteed „around the clock“ at a high level. The site-based information- and incident management of InfraLeuna GmbH for example includes:

- a siren warning system (with voice modules),- a digital alarm and conference server (information system with the help of selected telephone connections at the Leuna chemical complex),- a direct telephone connection to the control center of the district administration Saalekreis and - an opportunity for the computer-aided calculation of the spread of pollutants in the atmosphere.

Among the services of the works fire brigade which have to be provided by InfraLeuna GmbH in case of an incident, the following tasks are also included:

- the blocking of roads and gates,- the containment and the closing off of dangerous areas and- the direct information in endangered areas using megaphones.

In case of an incident InfraLeuna GmbH is the primary contact for authorities, for the public and for media representatives. Additional information can be obtained at any time through our Info-Telephone: +49 (0) 3461 / 43-96920.

ARKEMA GmbH operates inside the area of the chemical site Leuna a unit for the manufacturing of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions. Hydrogen peroxide is a very environmentally attractive substance that releases oxygen when de-composing, and only water remains when reacting with oxidizable substances. Main applications are its use as bleaching agent in pulp and paper industries, as oxidizer in chemical industries as well as a disinfectant in food and pharmaceutical industries.

For manufacturing of hydrogen peroxide a so-called working-solution is used as a media for the reaction of hydrogen with atmospheric oxygen to form hydrogen peroxide. The working solution is composed of different solvents and converted in successive process steps with hydrogen and atmospheric oxygen. An aqueous solution of Hydrogen peroxide is formed by a scrubbing process for further cleaning and separation of the working solution. Eventually rail tank cars or road tankers allow dispatching the final product to our customers.

Another on-site company supplies the raw material hydrogen.

The ARKEMA site has to comply with the German Hazardous Incidents Ordinance.

ARKEMA operates its facility at Leuna in accordance to a certified management system for safety, environmental pro-tection, energy management and quality. Our philosophy is to avoid any incident by consequent application of safe work procedures in all areas of our activities. Therefore, we have implemented and documented all sustainable safety measures and duly submitted to the competent authorities. Our internal alarm and emergency danger plans have been agreed with the competent authorities and the safety responsible of the Leuna platform. Stipulated by contract the professional fire brigade of InfraLeuna GmbH is taking care of preventive fire protection and operative danger defence.

CRI Catalyst Leuna GmbH manufactures inorganic products at the chemical site Leuna which are mainly used as catalysts in chemical processes. These catalysts consist mainly of chemically nearly inactive materials (e.g. alumina, silicates) and certain heavy metal or noble metal parts. They are used very versatilely e.g. for the refining of petrochemical and oleo-chemical intermediates as well as in the sector of environmental protection.

The production facilities used for the manufacturing of catalysts are in the south-eastern part of the chemical site. All raw and auxiliary materials as well as the intermediates and finished products are stored there. In the sense of the Federal Immission Control Act (Bundesimmissionsschutzgesetz/ BlmSchG) these facilities are an operating area for which, basi-cally because of the handling of respirable nickel dusts, apply extended safety obligations according to the regulation on hazardous incidents which are completely fulfilled by our company. This has been confirmed by independent experts as a result of conducted safety analysis.

A safety report, a concept for the prevention of hazardous incidents and an internal alarm and danger fighting plan have been submitted to the charged authority which has accepted them. Furthermore a reliable safety organisation within our company in cooperation with the articled works fire brigade, with other on-site facilities acting to prevent danger and with the state surveillance authority guarantees that the facilities within the operating area of CRI Catalyst Leuna GmbH are only operated under strict compliance with the safety regulations.

In case that despite all preventative safety measurements substances which are subject to the regulation on hazardous incidents are uncontrollably released, it is ensured that we immediately and comprehensively fulfil our information duty as well as our obligation to fight the hazardous incident and so limit or eliminate any damaging effects on the neighbourhood.

Substances that may be accidentally released into the neighbouring vicinity are:

The operational area is subject to the Accident Regulations.The plants produce a range of basic chemicals. Methylamines are made from methanol and ammonia and are catalytically synthesised using increased pressure and temperature before being purified in a number of distillation columns. Methyl-amines are raw materials used for solvents, vulcanisation accelerator, pesticides, ion exchangers, disinfectants, animal feed additives, corn growth stabilisers, colourings and pharmaceuticals.Dimethylformamide is synthesised in a further plant, from carbon monoxide and dimethylamine, using a methanol solution, derived from sodium methylate synthesised under high pressure and increased temperature and purified by a distillation unit. Dimethylformamide is a solvent used in many applications. It is for example used in the production of acrylic fibres and polyurethanes.In the derivatives plant we manufacture triazine, made of monomethylamine and formaldehyde solution, dimethylammoni-umchloride solution made of dimethylamine, hydrogen chloride and water and trimethylammoniumchloride solution made of trimethylamine, hydrogen chloride and water. Triazine is an absorption agent for acidic gases, the so-called chloride solutions serve as the basis for animal feed additives and pharmaceuticals. Chlorocholine chloride is used in agriculture as a growth control agent for stabilising stalks of cereals, and is made of the raw materials trimethylamine and dichlorethane. Most raw materials are acquired from other companies on site via pipelines, these are: methanol, ammonia, carbon mon-oxide, hydrogen chloride.

We handle the following hazardous substances in accordance with appendix 1 of the Accident Regulations:


Gases / Vapours: Methylamine highly flammable liquefied gases, strong odourAmmonia flammable, toxicCarbon monoxide highly flammable, toxic, odourlessHydrogen highly flammableNatural Gas highly flammableFumes in an accident health hazard with toxic substances Liquids: Methylamine solutions highly flammable, strong odourMethanol/Methylate solutions easily flammable, toxicDistillery residue easily flammable, toxic, strong odourDimethylformamide flammableDichloroethane easily flammable, toxic

In order to limit any effect of an accident the following equipment has been provided:In case of leakages parts of the plant can be released and emptied via a blow-down-system with a flare.Flash gasses produced by the chlorocholine chloride plant are routed to a thermal after-burner.Stationary and remote controlled sprinkler systems to cool containers and control of water-soluble gases (ammonia, me-thylamine).Fire extinguishing and water retention facilities.

TOTAL Raffinerie Mitteldeutschland GmbH is the owner of the new refinery and the methanol plant. The plants are desi-gned in accordance with the latest technology and are operated by experienced and qualified staff. The main raw material crude oil is delivered via pipelines.

We produce gasoline, diesel fuels, fluid gases and raw materials (petrochemical naphtha, methanol, sulphur, propylene, heavy metal concentrates) and bitumen. The substances needed for the operation of the plant and any intermediate and finished products are stored in the plant area. The delivery of finished products is done via rail tank wagons and tank lorries as well as product pipelines.

Parts of the production plant operate under increased pressure and temperature and are therefore mainly governed by the Accident Regulations. Any required technical and operational measures have been put into place accordingly. The necessary safety report has been written and submitted to independent safety experts who have examined it. An approval test was carried out with the participation of various expert authorities, and the operation of the plant was approved. The production and storage facilities are subject to a regular technical examination by independent experts.

The refinery has its own fire brigade, which would in case of product release and fire, immediately be activated and attempt to limit the possible consequences of such an incident.

Substances that may cause an incident and could be released into the neighbourhood are:


Gases / Vapours: Hydrogen sulphide very toxic, highly flammable, dangerous to the environmentSulphur dioxide toxic, causticCarbon monoxide highly flammable, toxicAmmonia toxic, irritant, caustic, dangerous to the environmentHydrogen highly flammable, explosiveGaseous Hydrocarbon highly flammable, explosive Liquid Mineral Oil Products highly flammable, easily flammable, dangerous to the environmentMethanol easily flammable, toxicFumes (smoke) health hazard
