conference paper
The European Process Safety Centre is an industry-funded organization which exists to provide an independent technical focus for process safety in Europe. The centre has four main objectives: information; research and development; legislation and regulations; education and training. In pursuit of the R&D objective EPSC has contracted the Department of Industrial Safety of the TNO Institute of Environmental Sciences, Energy Research and Process Innovation, based in the Netherlands, to investigate the use of fluid sprays for the mitigation of gas dispersion. The prime objectives of this investigation being: To produce a comprehensive overview of the current practices with respect to the use of water and steam curtains in Europe; To give an overview of the design guidelines for water and steam curtains; To contact competent authorities to find out how the regulations vary from state to state.
