1 INTRODUCTION

With rapid industrialisation and the birth of large-scale plants using complex technologies, it

has become vital for industries to develop "Emergency Response & Disaster Management

Plans" to enable them to meet any undesired eventuality. Disaster management has assumed

added significance after the catastrophic happenings at Flixborough, Bhopal, Mexico, and

Chernobyl etc. Indeed some of the disasters in the recent past have brought out glaring

inadequacies in the management systems to respond to a disaster situation to effectively

control and minimise the loss of lives and property.

In view of the hazards associated with hydrocarbon processing industries, it is obligatory,

under the Factories Act, 1948(amended in 1987) and Manufacture, Storage and Import of

Hazardous Chemical (MSIHC) Rules, 1989 to develop our own ERDMP as per PNGRB

norms. Such a plan will ensure establishment of a system, which would make optimum use

of our available resources for speedy containment of the disaster protecting the health and

safety of people, nearby residences and workers as well as minimising damage to property

and environment. There are many agencies involved in the activities associated with disaster

situation e.g. Civil Administration, Fire services, Medical, Police, Army, Voluntary

organisations etc., which call for an organised multi-disciplinary approach to the problem.

DNV has been requested by GAIL to prepare and Emergency Response and Disaster

Management Plan (ERDMP) to satisfy both local regulatory and their internal HSE

requirements.

5 GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PIPELINE

5.1 Description & Location

Natural Gas pipeline network in Cauvery Basin has been designed to provide uninterrupted

service to both producers and consumers. The system has sufficient built-in redundancy to

meet breakdowns and planned withdrawal of units for routine maintenance. Normally,

pipeline is operated optimally to meet supply and demand forecast. The pipeline route has

been selected to avoid populated areas and has built in design factor commensurate with

degree of risk related to population index of that area.

To prevent damage due to corrosion, three layer PE coated pipes have been used for most of

the lines. Besides, a permanent CP system has been installed for additional protection, the

health of which is routinely monitored.

GAIL, Cauvery Basin consists of a network of around 267 Kms of pipeline of various sizes

and lengths supplying NATURAL GAS to 52 consumers in the region distributed

geographically in different districts. There are 9 gas collecting stations of ONGCL

(Narimanam, Kamalapuram, Nannilam, Tiruvarur EPS, Adiyakkamangalam, Bhuvanagiri,

Kovilkalappal, Ramnad, Kuthalam) divided into Five zones being utilized for supplying gas

to the consumers.

The Five zones are:

Narimanam zone catering to 38 consumers.

Kovilkalappal (Thirumakkotai) zone catering to 2 consumers.

Bhuvanagiri zone catering to 1 consumer.

Kuthalam Zone catering to 6 consumers

Ramnad Zone catering to 5 consumers

DET NORSKE VERITAS

MANAGING RISK



PP027998/GAIL//2012-04-13

5.2 MAINTENANCE BASES

The pipeline network has been divided into the following five Zones of operation with the

Base stations as given below

i) PPCL (Narimanam Zone)

ii) Tirumakottai TNEB (Kovilkalappal Zone)

iii) Kuthalam TNEB (Kuthalam & Bhuvanagiri Zones)

iv) Ramnad TNEB (Ramnad Zone)

Each of the above base station is headed by a Base-In-charge who is responsible for safe

operation and maintenance as well as management of any emergency involving the pipeline

arising in the area.

5.3 PIPELINE DESCRIPTION

The following facilities have been provided (as well as proposed) along the Pipeline network:

1. Despatch Terminal

2. Receiving Terminals

3. Sectionalizing valve stations

4. Tap-ins / tap-offs

Natural gas in the pipeline network of Cauvery Basin is supplied through the production

installations of ONGC. The Natural gas from the pipeline grid is supplied to the downstream

consumers.

5.4 DESPATCH TERMINAL

The pipeline network has six Dispatch terminals in total covering all the Zones. The gas is

received from ONGCL and is transported to the downstream consumers through the Pipeline

network at an average operating pressure of 10-15 Kg / cm2.

5.5 SECTIONALIZING VALVE STATIONS

The SV stations are installed on the main trunk line, for the purpose of isolating the sections

of pipeline system in case of any maintenance or emergency or accident.

DET NORSKE VERITAS

MANAGING RISK



PP027998/GAIL//2012-04-13

These stations apart from main line isolation valve do have the provision for safe venting off

the gas from the pipeline to the atmosphere. Most of the SVs along the entire pipeline

network are guarded round the clock by security guards, who work in shifts. The security

guards have been provided with Emergency Telephone numbers and have been directed to

provide information as and when necessary.

Each SV station is located inside chain-link fencing and its gate is kept locked.

6 TYPE OF EMERGENCIES:

The emergencies are mainly classified into three levels

Level 1 : This is an emergency or an incident which

can be effectively and safely managed, and contained within the site, location or

installation by the available resources

has no impact outside the site, location or installation

is unlikely to be danger to life, the environment or to company assets or reputation

All the lelvel1 emergencies will be handled by the GAIL Personnel


cannot be effectively and safely managed or contained at the site, location or

installation by available resource and additional support is required

is having, or has the potential to have an effect beyond the site, location or installation

and where external support of mutual aid partner may be involved

is likely to be danger to life, to the environment, to company assets or reputation

level 2 emergencies will be handled by the GAIL personnel and members under

Mutual Aid Scheme


is catastrophic and is likely to affect the population, property and environment inside

and outside the installation, and management & control is done by District

Administration. Although the level 3 emergency falls under the purview of District

Authority but till this will be taken care till the District administration comes into

force.

Level 1 & Level 2 shall normally be grouped as onsite emergency and Level 3 as off-site

emergency.

9 MAJOR CONTROLS AND INTER LOCKS

In view of the hazards (fire / leakage) associated with the highly flammable natural gas and

the fact that the cross country pipe lines passing through a number of populated areas, GAIL

has recognized the paramount importance in ensuring safety during transportation through

the pipe line. A number of SV stations have been provided at different locations along the

pipe line to make it safe.

9.1 CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL FOR SV STATIONS

SV stations are provided along the pipe line at every 20 to 25 Kms approximately. These SV

stations consist of main isolating ball valves QOEC System for evacuating gas. In case of

emergency in any particular section the up / down stream of SV stations can be isolated and

the gas can be vent out in order to facilitate repair jobs in that particular section.

All SV stations are guarded round the clock by security guards. Communication facility is

available for communicating with the RGMC, Pondicherry.

9.2 CONFIGURATION AND CONTROL FOR RECEIVING

TERMINALS

The Receiving terminals are provided with filtration system which consists of slug catcher,

scrubber and filter separators, pressure reduction system and metering system. The pressure

reduction system consists of pressure controllers and shutdown valves. Normally all the

major receiving terminals have two loops of pressure reduction system and one loop will be

online and the second loop will be in hot standby. If the online loop fails immediately the

stand by loop will come into line and by this way it is ensured that required pressure is

always maintained to the consumer. The receiving terminals also have safety valves in order

to take care of any excessive pressure to ensure safety of the terminal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

High concentrations in air cause Oxygen deficiency leading to unconsciousness.

Under atmospheric pressure and at low concentrations, hydrocarbon gases are not toxic for

humans. The presence of hydrocarbons (at a total concentration not exceeding 3 mg / m3)

has no long-term harmful effects on man. However, at high concentrations hydrocarbon

gases displace oxygen thus causing asphyxia.

The degree of fire and explosion hazards of Natural gas is high, mainly for the following

reasons:

a. Poor visibility of the ignitable mixture and high burning velocity that can injure

instantly anyone coming into contact with it, on account of high calorific value of

Natural Gas (~ 9500 K.Cal /m3).

b. Ability to ignite and burn.
