Abstract:Accidental release of biohydrogen (bioH2) gas in biogas plant has a high risk to cause fire and explosion incidents. Thus, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to study the dispersion of 158 kg of bioH2 gas through pipe leaks at a pure bioH2 spherical storage tank. The TNT-equivalent explosion model found that the threat zone which can destroy buildings due to overpressure exceeding 55 kPa was located at a radius of 9.31 m from the centre of the explosion at the fermenter. Further evaluation using the D… Show more
