Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention rapidly dilutes and diffuses a hazardous gas generated when a liquid leaks from a tank storing various flammable or toxic liquids. Dangerous gas diffusion promotion method for 2. Description of the Related Art In a facility equipped with a storage tank for a flammable liquid such as liquefied natural gas (LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquid hydrogen or liquid oxygen, or a toxic liquid such as methanol, a liquid is used. In the event of leakage, it is necessary to dilute and diffuse the evaporative gas from the leaked liquid as soon as possible to prevent danger. For example, LN
At the G base, LN is used to reduce the concentration of diffusion into the atmosphere.
A method of increasing the height of the diffusion source by setting up a dike around the G tank and making the height of the dike several times the height of the liquid surface at the time of the leak assumption. Hi-E on top
x (trade name: High-Expansion-Foam), a method of spraying a high-foaming agent, etc. to raise the temperature of the evaporative gas to promote diffusion. A water curtain with a height of about 10 m vertically above the ground outside the dike And increasing the height of the diffusion source and simultaneously raising the temperature of the evaporative gas. [0003] When a flammable liquid such as LNG, LPG, liquid hydrogen or liquid oxygen or a toxic liquid such as methanol flows out, it receives heat from the ground or the atmosphere and evaporates. Spreads in. Many of these evaporative gases have a high molecular weight even when the evaporative gas is at a low temperature or at room temperature, and have a greater specific gravity than air. The diffusion of a gas having a large specific gravity usually diffuses in a form called gravitational diffusion, the diffusion speed is extremely low, a flammable liquid or a toxic gas mass is formed on the ground, and its volume increases as evaporation proceeds. This is because wind on the ground is usually
This is mainly due to the velocity of the component in the direction parallel to the ground, which is due to the difficulty of wind flowing into the mass of gas having a high specific gravity. Normal,
For liquids other than LNG, measures are taken to promote diffusion and dilute liquids by the methods described above. However, these methods not only increase the equipment cost but also have the following problems. . That is, in the method of increasing the height of the dike, the gas that has passed through the dike is gravitationally diffused outside the dike again. Further, in the method of providing a water curtain, the sustaining effect of the temperature raising effect of the blowing agent is short, and a large amount of water is required, so that the cost is high,
Can not be installed on the windward side (If water is splashed on the liquid, the evaporation rate will increase and a large amount of evaporative gas will be generated instantaneously, a large amount of explosive gas will be formed, which is dangerous), the amount of gas passing through the water curtain There are many. [0004] Further, a method of raising the temperature of the gas with a high foaming agent is as follows. For example, LNG
When LNG flows out of the tank, a disaster prevention system is often used in which a high foaming agent is sprayed on the LNG level at the same time as the LNG flows out. The action of this high foaming agent is LNG from the atmosphere.
To reduce the LNG evaporation rate by suppressing the heat flux to the cryogenic gas (about-
By increasing the temperature (180 ° C.) to -100 to 0 ° C., the diffusion into the atmosphere is promoted by reducing the specific gravity of the air to about the same or less. However, the gas evaporated from the LNG exits the layer of high foaming agent through the channels formed in the layer of high foaming agent, and the number of channels is about 2 to 4 per m 2. This was confirmed by experiments. Further, as the time elapses, the wall surface of the gas flow path freezes, and the gas heating effect of the high foaming agent is not large. In other words, the heat exchange between the gas and the high foaming agent and the position contributing to the temperature rise of the gas are determined by the contact area when the gas passes through the high foaming agent, that is, the number of holes formed in the high foaming agent. Conventionally, attempts to forcibly increase the number of holes have not been successful, and the amount of high foaming agent, that is, the height is set to 3 m.
Measures to build up the above were taken, and a large amount of high foaming agent was required. The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, and provides a method for promoting the diffusion of a dangerous gas, which can quickly evaporate and volatilize a leaked hazardous liquid and does not require the formation of a high liquid barrier or a water curtain. Is what you do. [0005] The present invention SUMMARY OF] is a diffusion enhancing method for diluting gas evaporated from danger liquid leaked from savings storage tank, the liquid level of the liquid collected in the liquid-proof Tsutsumiuchi by spraying a high blowing agent above to form a highly foamed layer, said high foaming
Temporarily or intermittently stoned layers or high foaming
By providing a wire mesh at the bottom of the layer,
A dangerous gas diffusion promoting method characterized by generating 10 or more vent holes per m 2 penetrating from the liquid surface to the upper surface of the highly foamed layer. A low-temperature gas or a gas having a specific gravity higher than that of air forms a layer from the ground to the sky, that is, a gas mass having a concentration close to 100% formed on the surface of the leaked liquid near the ground expands. Spread in the atmosphere in the form. The diffusion and dilution of the gas mass occur only by the inflow (entrainment) of ambient air into the gas mass. On the other hand, a gas having a low specific gravity is diffused while moving upward by buoyancy, so that the gas is quickly diluted. Since the diffusion due to the inflow of the air into the gas mass occurs only at the interface between the gas mass and the air, 1 to 3 m / s
In the case of moderate ground wind, the gas generation speed often exceeds the diffusion speed, and the volume of the gas mass is increasing.
Therefore, in the reference example of the present invention , by blowing air having an upward velocity component inside the gas mass,
The air is forced to flow into the gas mass to promote upward diffusion and to dilute the gas. When a high foaming agent is sprayed on the surface of the leaked liquid to form a high foaming layer , the gas rises through the air holes formed in the high foaming layer and diffuses from the upper surface of the high foaming layer. . The effect of increasing the temperature of the gas when the cryogenic gas vaporized from the liquid leaking from the air holes formed in the high foam layer passes is mainly (a) the length of the air holes, that is, the stacking height of the high foam layer, ( B) It depends on the difference between the temperature of the wall surface of the vent and the temperature of the gas and (iii) the number of vents per unit area. Normally, (b) and (c) cannot be controlled, and conventionally, measures have been taken mainly from the viewpoint of (a), that is, in the direction of increasing the height of the highly foamed layer. The temperature difference of (b) decreases almost exponentially with time after the formation of the air holes. That is, only the wall surface of the ventilation hole is frozen by the passage of the gas, and the temperature difference between the gas and the wall surface decreases. In the present invention, the number of air holes is forcibly increased by means of providing a trebuchet and temporarily or intermittently stoning the high foam layer, or providing a wire mesh under the high foam layer. I have to. Since the effect of increasing the temperature of the gas increases in proportion to the number of ventilation holes, a large amount of the effect of increasing the temperature can be obtained with a small amount of the high foaming agent. [0008] The high foaming agent used here is used for foam digesters mainly composed of water and a surfactant. These high foaming agents are stored as liquids in the tank, and when released outside the tank, expand to a volume of 6 to 1000 times, preferably 400 to 600 times, and become foamy. Therefore, spraying on LNG, LPG or the like has an effect of shutting off surrounding air to prevent explosion or raising the temperature of low-temperature LNG or the like to promote diffusion and dilution of dangerous gas. The height of the high foam layer is about 1 to 3 m. In the case of LNG, the evaporated LNG gas (about -180 ° C.) rises in the high-foaming layer and receives heat from the high-foaming layer before it goes out into the air.
Heat to ° C. In this case, the evaporated gas exits into the atmosphere through the air holes formed in the high foaming layer, and the number of air holes formed in a natural state is about 2 to 4 per m 2 , In the present invention, this number is increased to 10 or more per m 2 . The present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the following examples. In the following example, LNG mass storage
Due to the failure of the NG storage tank 1, L
It is assumed that NG2 flows out. (Reference Example) FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing a reference example of the present invention. Leaked L
An air pipe 4 having an inner diameter of about 3 to 10 cm is provided about 10 to 100 cm above the maximum height of the liquid level of the NG 2 (which can be estimated from the amount of stored LNG and the area of the dike 3) at a pitch of 3 to 10 m inside the dike 3. Let it go around. 1 to air pipe 4
For example, a venturi nozzle 5 is installed at a pitch of 5 m, and air is sent to an air pipe 4 by an air blower 6 so that the liquid barrier 3
An updraft can be generated in the interior. This allows
The upward diffusion of the gas on the liquid level of the leaked LNG2 can be accelerated. The air volume is set so as to increase the gas specific gravity immediately after the evaporation of LNG to the same level as that of air. This can be calculated by estimating the evaporation amount of LNG from the material of the ground and the like. Further, the blowing direction from the venturi nozzle 5 is
It is preferable to set 45 to 90 degrees with respect to the horizontal direction, and set a direction in which there is no private house or the like in advance. According to this embodiment, the height of the dike required to be 2 to 3 m in the case where there is no air pipe is only 1 m, and no additional equipment for spraying the high foaming agent is required. (Embodiment 1) FIG. 2 is an explanatory view showing one embodiment of the present invention. In this example, a high foaming agent (Fukada Hi-
Ex: commercially available from Fukada Kogyo Co., Ltd.) to form the high foam layer 7. As a means for increasing the number of air holes 8 formed in the high foaming layer 7, a trebuchet 9 is provided. The high foaming agent solidifies in a sherbet shape when the temperature is lowered to some extent, and a hole having a diameter of about 5 to 10 cm can be easily formed by stoning, and the ventilation hole 8 is formed. When time passes and the wall surface of the ventilation hole 8 freezes and the effect of raising the temperature becomes small, it is effective to throw the stone again to form a new ventilation hole 8. FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the passage of time and the temperature of the gas emerging from the upper surface of the highly foamed layer. In the absence of stoning, the wall surface of the vent freezes and the gas temperature drops sharply as shown by the dotted line in the figure, but the gas temperature rises due to the formation of new vents by intermittent stoning. It turns out that the effect can be continued. [0011] (Embodiment 2) FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the second real embodiments with the present invention. In this example, the leaked LNG2 was used instead of the catapult of Example 1.
The number of the vent holes 8 is increased by installing a wire mesh 10 of 5 to 10 cm square above the high foamed layer above. The installation position of the wire mesh 10 is 20 times higher than the assumed maximum height of the liquid.
Preferably, the spray nozzle for the high foaming agent is provided between the liquid level of the leaked LNG 2 and the wire mesh 10. FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the lapse of time in this case and the temperature of the gas emerging from the upper surface of the highly foamed layer. The wire mesh dramatically increases the number of air holes formed in the highly foamed layer. Since the total amount of evaporating gas is constant, the amount of gas passing through one vent decreases in inverse proportion to the number of vents, so that the temperature of the wall surface of the vent decreases slowly (dotted line in the figure), The time required for the pore wall surface to freeze and reach the same temperature as the gas temperature immediately after evaporation can be extended (solid line in the figure). In the case where the high foaming agent is not used, if air is not supplied as in the prior art, first, a gas mass is formed over the entire area of the liquid barrier, and after a lapse of time, the gas mass becomes liquid-proof. It spreads over the ground over the dike. In that case, the function of the dike is only to increase the height of the gas diffusion source. On the other hand, when an upward air current is generated from the inside of the gas mass as in the reference example , gas diffusion and dilution occur very easily, and equipment such as a water curtain usually installed outside the dike becomes unnecessary. . Also, the height of the dike was required several times higher than the liquid level expected in the conventional equipment, but 1.1 to 1.2.
Only about twice. In the method of the present invention , a high foaming agent is used ,
Since the number of air holes formed in the high-foaming layer is forcibly increased, the effect of raising the temperature of the dangerous gas is large, and the temperature can be raised quickly to reduce the specific gravity and diffuse the gas. Furthermore, when the number of air holes is increased by means such as a stoning machine, if the operation such as stoning is performed again when the temperature of the air hole wall surface decreases, the gas temperature increasing effect is continued. be able to. Since the effect of increasing the temperature of the gas is large, the amount of the high foaming agent can be reduced.
