Emergency response plan for methane and chlorine with dispersion modelling using CAMEO

There is a significant need in the current industrial scenario for methods to be formulated to treat dangerous chemicals most safely. Accidental release of toxic chemicals will result in emergencies. Hence, an emergency response plan (ERP) is inevitable. The most toxic chemicals in the water and wastewater sector are chlorine and hydrogen sulphide, whereas methane is a flammable gas. CAMEO software is used in this research to predict the region that toxic gas release impacts. This research deals with a sewage treatment plant ERP and control measures for methane and chlorine gases. The affected area of hazard will depend upon the weather conditions and the time of the accident. Comparing two different seasons, the impacted distance is more significant in summer than in winter. It is observed that the night and early morning is more dangerous than the afternoon and evening as it shows the larger impacted distance.
