1.0 INTRODU
UCTION

Emergenccy Responsse and Dissaster Man nagement Plan is esssential for oil & gass
installation
ns to ensuree that any eventual
e disaster is effe
ectively mannaged to minimise losss
of propertyy and life. M/s.
M Bhara at Petroleum Corpora ation Ltd. ((BPCL) is developing
d g
CNG & City
C Gas Distribution
D Infrastructure in the
e Geographical Area
as (GAs) of
o
Rupnagarr (Punjab) based on PNGRB au uthorization.

Bharat Petroleum
P Corporation Limited envissaged se et up forr creating g
prising of Steel Pip
infrastructture comp peline Nettwork (Priimary Nettwork), PEE
Pipeline Network (SSecondary Network) and GI Piping alongg with Coppper tubing
g
(Tertiary Network)
N in
n Rupnagar Geographical Areass (GAs) to o reach consumers of o
various se egments na amely Auto omobile, Ho ouseholds, Commercia al and Industrial. Thee
infrastructu NG stations of various types
ure shall alsso have CN t like M
Mother Statio
ons, On-line
e
Stations annd Daughte er Booster Stations
S to provide
p Com
mpressed N Natural gas (CNG).

This is alsso a pre-requirement for

f operatio
on of the in
nstallations to meet sttatutory and
d
regulatory requireme ents of the
e Governm
ment of Pu unjab and Government of India a
Ministries’ legislative.

In the even o the distribution systtem or on CNG

nt of a gas emergencyy occurring on C station
n,
a planned and practiical response must be e automaticcally activatted by the established
d
ERDMP procedure off the compa any so that personal sa
afety is pre
eserved and d damage too
private and
d system prroperty is minimised.
m

The proceedure outlinnes actionss to be tak ken by thee designate

ed key perssonnel in a
manner tha
at suits a diisaster situa
ation depen
nding upon its
i degree a
and gravity.

SCOPE of CGD Netw

work :
Each city gas distributtion networkk is primarily
y distributed e following major
d among the
categories:
 ate Station (CGS)
City Ga (
 Distribu

stic Metering System
 CNG Sttations.

City Gate Station

S (CG
GS):

BPCL shall receive Natural by ta apping from GAIL’s pipeline(Bawan na Nangal Pipeline) to
o
make the ciity grid netw
work for Rup
pnagar and adjacent
a are
ea in its GA..

CNG Statio
ons:

There are three

t catego
ories of CNG station:

a. Online CNG Statiions: On lin

ne stations are conneccted to the p
pipeline and

5.0 CLASSIF
FICATION OF
O EMERG
GENCIES

Emergencies based on which Response

R Plans
P have
e to be adop pted are cla
assified into
o
following 3 levels depending on
o the serio
ousness off the incide
ents and their possible e
impacts.

Level 1

This leve
el of emerge ency arisess out of an incident, wh hich can be e safely and
d effectivelyy
contained
d by using field
f resourcces.
The incid
dent is restrricted within
n the installation and iss not likely to pose da
anger to life
e,
property and
a environ nment.

Level 2

Level 2 emergencie
e es may not be possiblle to contaiin using fie
eld resource
es and mayy
require exxternal help
p.

There is possibility of
o danger to
o life, prope
erty and envvironment b
both within and outside
e
the installation.

Level 3

Level 3 emergencie es escalate

e to a level where they
t adverssely affect public life
e,
companyy operation and
a reputattion.

The incid
dent will ha
ave implicattion on tech ects of the installation, public life
hnical aspe e,
personneel and mediaa

The incident may ha

ave one or combination
c n of the follo
owing situattions:

i) Losss of life or grave

g injuryy to employe ees and pubblic.
ii) Riskk of environnmental dam mage due to o extensive pollution.
iii) Dammage to company

1 Flash Fiire:
1.

A flash fire
e occurs when
w a clou
ud of flammmable gas and air is ignited. Th he speed of
o
burning is function off the concentration of the flammaable compo onent in the
e cloud and
d
also the wind speed. Within
W a few
w second of ignition the flame sprreads both upwind and
d
downwind of the ignittion source es typical flame propaagation spe
eeds are the orders of
o
4m/sec. Thhe flame velocity and dispersion in
ncreases with wind speeed.

2 Jet Fire:
2.

A jet fire occurs

o wheen a flamm mable liquidd or gas iss ignited affter its release from a
pressurizedd, punctured vessel orr pipe. The pressure of release ge enerated a long flame e,
which is sttable underr most cond dition. A fla
ash flame may
m take the form of jet flame on n
reaching thhe spill poin
nt. The dura
ation of the jet
j fire is de
etermined b by the relea
ase rate and
d
the capacity of the souurce. Flamee length incrreased direcctly with flow
w rate.

3. Pool Firre:
3
A pool fire occurs on ignition of an
a accumulation of liqu uid as a pool on the ground or on n
water or otther liquid. A steadily burning fire is rapidlyy achieved as the flam
me vapor to o
sustain thee fire is prrovided by evaporatio on of liquidd by heat from the flames.
f The e
maximum burning
b rate
e is function
n of the net heat of com
mbustion and heat reqquired for itss
vaporization.

Fire damage occurs more freq quently than n losses byb explosion but the damage iss
generally le es are less dangerous to human life that flas
ess extensivve. Pool fire shes fire bu
ut
their longer duration’ss results in greater strructural dam
mages. The e jet fires mainly
m affecct
the mechanical prope erties of thee structuress. Material of construcction loses mechanica al
strengths when
w exposed to high temperature
t es.

Explosion

An explosio on is the prrocess invo

olving the prroduction of a pressurre discontinuity or blasst
wave resulting from a rapid relea ase of energgy. A pressure disturbaance is gen nerated in too
the surrounnding mediu um. Air becomes heate ed due to itss compresssibility and this
t leads to
o
an increase e in the ve
elocity of so
ound, causing the fron nt of disturb
bance to stteepen as it i
travels thro
ough air.

The explossion mainly occurs duee to the rapid combusstion of a fflammable material
m but
can be bro ought abouut the chem
mical reactions other than comb bustion, pro
ovided theyy
release large amount of energy. Examples of these reactions arre polymerizations, the e
decomposition of unstable substa
ances and exothermic
e interactionss of many kiinds.

Vapor Clou
ud Explosion:

An accidenntal escapee of flamma able materiaal leads to subsequen nt rapid com

mbustion on n
encounterin
ng a source e of ignition and may reesult in to fireball on im
mmediate ignition. But if

Explosion if e present. A VCE is a an extremelyy damaging g
outcome from the rele ease of flammmable material. A larrge amountt of flammable materia al
can accummulate in thee cloud form m and subssequently re elease its energy on encountering g
some local ignition sou
urce in the form

reasons:

human being. Its TLV is 3 Mg/M M . Howwever, at high
h concentrations, hydrocarbon
h n
gases displace

 Testing and mock drills for onsite emergency plan shall be carried once in three
months and for offsite emergency plan twelve months.
 For other installations, the mock drill shall be carried out once a year. However, for
locations having more than one industry members, the annual mock drill can be
carried out by one industry members in turn, thus ensuring one mock drill in every
year at the location.
 These mock drills will enable the unit/location to assess the capability of the
individual and performance as a group. The frequent discussions and drills will help
in eliminating the confusion and shortcomings if any.
 Each mock drill should be recorded with observations and deficiencies to be rectified
within 24 hrs.
 
11.2 REVIEW OF EMERGENCY PLAN
 
Emergency Plan is reviewed after every mock emergency exercises and actual
emergency. The plan should be updated on the following issues, which may come up
during review:
 
 Any problem or hindrance observed during an emergency situation.
 
 Problem due to changes in organisation structure.
 
 Problem due to introduction of new emergency equipment.
 
 Problem due to changes/modifications in operating facilities.
 
 Communication problem due to equipment deficiency, human factor or
shortcoming in organisation structure.
 
11.3 EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
 
Entities operating CGD Networks shall undertake a comprehensive public awareness
program for consumers and general public. The educational material shall be
prepared in local language, Hindi and English language.
 
Public nearby the installations is to be made aware about the gas pipeline. Concerted
efforts should be made by BPCL to educate the citizens about the gas pipeline, its
benefits, hazards, accident preventive measures, whom and how to communicate in an
emergency. Incentives and awards may be instituted for prompt communication of an
emergency to the authorities. For awareness of the public letters and pamphlets will
be distributed by BPCL in addition to public education programe in regular interval.
The program material should include, but not be limited to:
 
 Information about gas properties
 Recognition of gas odors
 What to do and not do when there is a strong gas odor
 Notification of the BPCL prior to making excavation related activities.
 Telephone numbers for persons in the BPCL to report gas leaks or odors or other
information during both business and non-business hours.
 
This information may be conveyed by BPCL through a number of means :
 
 Radio and television

 Newspaper
 Meetings
 Bill stuffers
 Mailings
 Hand-outs
 Posted on bulletin boards
 Employee newsletters
 Campus websites
 Apartment Handbooks
 New-employee orientation
 
BPCL will maintain records of the public information programme and related
activities.
 
FOR GENERAL PUBLIC SIMPLE DO’S AND DON’T FOR HOME AND BUSINESS
USES OF NATURAL GAS ARE LISTED AS AN ILLUSTRATION.
 
DO’S
 
 Have all gas appliances, furnaces, vents, flues, chimneys and gas lines in your
home and/or business inspected every year or two by qualified industry
professionals.
 

 Keep the areas around all gas appliances and equipment clean and unblocked to
permit proper airflow.
     

 Follow manufacturer instructions for the care and use of gas appliances and
equipment.
 

 Look for the blue flame. If pilot lights and burners have a steady, blue flame, they
are operating correctly. (Decorative gas fire logs are the only exception; their
flame is usually yellow.)      
       
 Make sure there is at least one multipurpose fire extinguisher in your home.
Business owners should follow local fire code regulations.
 
 Review natural gas safety regularly with ALL family members and/or employees.
 
 Include your natural gas company's emergency contact information on your list of
important phone numbers (e.g. fire, police, physicians, etc.) and/or in your
company manual.
 
 
DON'TS
 
 Ever let children play with or near natural gas appliances or pipes, even the
knobs on the oven or stovetop.
 
 Use your stove or oven for anything other than cooking (for instance, to heat your
home), under any circumstances.
   

 Move or install a gas appliance or change the connector in any way without
professional assistance.
 

 Use a space heater UNTIL you are sure it has been vented properly. If using a
vent-free heater, make sure the automatic cut-off switch is operational.

 Install a gas appliance yourself, unless you are a qualified contractor. Instead,
you should always seek professional assistance.
 

 Ever store household chemicals or combustible materials near gas appliances.

 
 
11.4 CALL BEFORE YOU DIG
 
Unauthorized digging is one the leading causes of natural gas leaks. You must call
the BPCL, at least two working days before digging for any landscape or construction
project on your property. Keep in mind that lines have been hit digging fence post
 
holes, anchoring supports for decks and swing sets, planting trees, removing tree
roots and driving landscaping stakes into the ground. By not calling, you are risking
injury to yourself, your family and your fellow community members.
 
If you ever suspect unauthorized digging, contact BPCL.
 
11.5 MIND YOUR METER
 
Before natural gas enters your home or business, it passes through a gas meter
(located just outside your home or business).
 
To assure uninterrupted service, check the meter on a regular basis.
 
11.6 WHEN YOU'RE OUT AND ABOUT...BE AWARE
 
Even when you're strolling around town, it's helpful to remember the following signs
of a natural gas leak:
 
SMELL — To help you SMELL a leak from a gas line or appliance, a familiar odour
like rotten eggs is often added to natural gas.
 
SEE — Near a gas leak, you might SEE blowing dirt, bubbling water or an unusual
area of dead vegetation.
 
HEAR — A leaking pipeline might make a hissing sound you can HEAR.
 
If you recognize even one of the above signs, walk away, right away. Don't try to stop
or repair the leak yourself or use anything that might create a spark, such as a cell
phone. When you're clear of the area, call your BPCL for emergency response.
 
13.0 RESPONSE PROCEDURE AND MEASURES
 
13.1 FOR CNG STATIONS
 
The Emergency Response Plan for the following CNG Stations are described in the
following chapters. The Incident Controller shall be responsible for evaluating the
Emergency Response Plan through mock emergency drill, which shall be carried out
at a predetermined interval, at least once in a year. Any deficiency in the plan for it’s
effectiveness shall be noted and the plan should be updated.
 
Possible emergencies that may create at the CNG stations are elaborated below:

3.8 HOW TO
T DEAL WITH
W FIRE SITUATION
S N

AT CNG STATIO
ON: -

The equipm ment/vessel on fire sh

hould be co ooled using water Spra ay. Storage
e of
sufficient quantity
q of water
w shoulld be availa
able for dispersion, alo
ong with Sa
and
bucket, at site.
s

Necessary Fire Fightting equipm ments along with other protectiv ve to prevvent
radiation off heat for the concern staffs
s should be availab
ble at the site.

Do not make any atte

empt to extinguish the fire till isola k. Instead, the
ation of leak
equipment & the zonne on fire should
s be kept
k cool to prevent explosion
e a
and
spreading of
o fire.

The fires can be exxtinguished by water, DCP, CO O2 and Hallon. Howevver,

potential co
onversation of gas fire into a combustion exp
plosion if gaas continuess to
escape afteer extinguisshment shouuld be taken care of so
o that it willl not presen
nt a
hazard of reigniting.

 Avvoid Paniccky/people gathering nearby.

 In
nform & guide fire ten
nders.
