Abstract

Heat transfer oils are used in applications such as chemical plant heating systems, refinery heat exchange systems, certain gas processes, injection molding systems, and pulp and paper processing. These oils are extremely stable and resistant to thermal and oxidative degradation. In the event of a spill or accidental release of heat transfer oils, it can be ignited easily when there is an ignition source. This study discusses the status of safety management through the actual status of the heat transfer oils to prevent fire and explosion accidents in industries for process safety management. The actual status of the heat transfer oils in process system of industries surveyed by a questionnaire developed. The results of this study can be used to help establishment of safety management to prevent fire and explosion accidents, such as the management of heat transfer oils, safe operation and maintenance in heat transfer oil processes.

열매체유는 화학플랜트의 가열시스템, 열교환시스템, 특정한 가스공정, 사출성형 시스템 및 펄프 제지공정에 사용되고 있다. 열매체유는 열적 산화 분해에 잘 견디며 안전성이 뛰어나며, 열매체유가 누출이나 분출의 경우에는 점화원이 있을때 쉽게 점화된다. 본 연구에서는 공정안전관리 사업장의 화재 폭발 사고를 예방하기 위해서 열매체유의 사용 실태조사를 통해 안전관리 상태를 고찰하였다. 사업장의 공정시스템에서 사용된 열매체유의 사용실태는 개발된 설문지에 의해서 조사되었다. 본 연구 결과는 열매체유의 관리나, 열매체유 공정의 안전한 운전과 유지와 관련된 화재 폭발 사고 예방을 위한 안전관리 대책 수립에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
