Executive summary Stolthaven operates an existing fuel storage facility (Terminal) located on LOT 2 of the Port of Newcastle Bulk Liquids Precinct in Mayfield, Newcastle, New South Wales (NSW) Australia. The Terminal currently stores diesel, a combustible liquid.
Stolthaven are planning an expansion of the Terminal, known as Stage 3. The Stage 3 works will include the following:
Product receipt via a new wharfline from berth M7 to the existing Terminal and the new Stage 3 Terminal;
New flammable and combustible storage tanks;
Secondary containment for the new storage tank;
Tank inlet and discharge piping and pumping systems;
Product transfer to road tankers via a new six bay loading gantry;
Drainage systems;
A new site office, switchroom and expansion of the existing control room; and
New and expanded electrical and control systems, including SIL rated systems where appropriate; and
A new fire protection system.
When completed the site will operate on a 24/7 basis as a Major Hazard Facility. The site will be manned continuously by trained operators.
The objective of the Fire Safety Study (FSS) is to identify fire and explosion risk reduction measures that should be implemented as part of the Stage 3 Terminal, and to determine the minimum performance criteria for the design of the recommended fire fighting systems.
The FSS is based on the application of the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) Hazardous Industry Planning Advisory Paper (HIPAP) No. 2: Fire Safety Study Guidelines.
The performance criteria for the design of the fire fighting systems to be implemented is based on compliance with relevant Standards and Codes of Practice. Australian Standard, AS 1940 is the principle Standard that prescribes the minimum fire fighting infrastructure for terminals and is referenced throughout this document. In addition, other documents, such as the Energy Institute Model Code of Safe Practice Part 19: Fire precautions at petroleum refineries and bulk storage installations (EI IP-MCSP-P19) recommend a performance based approach to ensure that the fire fighting systems provided take into account local site conditions. An example of this is the use of heat radiation modelling using site meteorological conditions, tank geometry and products stored as the main variables to determine the requirements for the cooling of adjacent tanks. These results are then compared the results from the prescriptive AS 1940 Appendix J calculations.
A Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) has been completed by others and is included in Appendix B.
A summary of the recommended fire and explosion risk reduction measures are summarised below:
Fire alarm and indication system based on the relevant sections of AS 1940 and AS 1670 (series);
A new connection to the Town water mains connection for automatic top up of the fire water tanks;
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 2
Two new fire water storage tanks to be installed on LOT 36. Each tank will be sized for an effective capacity of 1.2 ML. The tanks will be connected and hydraulically balanced via a DN250 cross connection pipeline;
In order to balance the water demand with installed cost all Stage 3 tanks will be provided with fixed cooling rings, and fixed, self-oscillating monitors will be provided for the diesel storage tanks on LOT 2 that are at risk from the Stage 3 terminal;
Three new fire water pumps, nominally sized for 11,500 LPM at 10.5 bar g. Two pumps will operate in parallel with a third on stand by. The pumps will be diesel driven and housed in a pump house;
Cooling water will be applied to tanks at risk via fixed cooling rings for all Stage 3 tanks. Four tanks currently installed at the existing diesel terminal have been identified at risk of radiant heat exposure. Cooling water to these tanks will be applied via fixed, self-oscillating water cannons (monitors);
Foam to Stage 3 bulk storage tanks will be provided by Type II fixed foam pourers installed on the tanks. The flowrate and discharge time will be as per NFPA 11;
A new 7,200 L foam concentrate tank with alcohol resistant foam concentrate;
Two water coupled water motor proportioning systems (Turbinator MIDI-PLUS) for foam proportioning. One unit will be required for the bulk storage tank foam systems and both will operate for protection of the loading gantry;
The cooling and foam systems will be operated manually via a new control panel that will be located near the Stage 3 pump house. Feedback will be provided on the bulk tank foam systems to provide confirmation that the deluge valve has opened and that the line to the tank is pressurised. Feedback on the tank cooling systems operation will be visual. The control of the deluge valves will be electro-hydraulic utilising pressurised hydrant water to open and close the deluge valve. This is an inherently more reliable system than an air actuated system as there is one less process stream that could fail.
A hydrant ring main that encircles the three Stage 3 compounds and interconnecting branches between compounds. The hydrant ring main will be provided with isolation valves, dual outlet hydrant valves andDN150 Storz couplings (subject to agreement with the local fire brigade)
Road loading gantry fire protection system via fixed foam-water sprinkler system. The flowrate and discharge time will be as per NFPA 16.
The loading gantry fire protection systems will be automatically operated via flame detectors
Foam capable monitor for the protection of a VRU fire scenario;
Foam capable monitor for the protection of the additive / SLOPS compound tanks;
Bund foam pourers for the additive / SLOPS compound, Gantry Spill Pit and all flammable liquid storage tank intermediate bunds;
Signage and labelling, including a fire system block plan;
Maintenance, inspection and testing regime;
First aid and portable fire extinguishers; and
Pre-incident fire plans for specific fire scenarios.

1 Introduction Stolthaven Australia Pty Ltd (Stolthaven) operates an existing Terminal located on LOT 2 of the Port of Newcastle Bulk Liquids Precinct in Mayfield, Newcastle, NSW Australia. The Terminal currently stores diesel, a combustible liquid.
Stolthaven are planning an expansion of the Terminal, known as Stage 3. The Stage 3 works will include the following:
Product receipt via a new wharfline from berth M7 to the existing Terminal and the new Stage 3 Terminal;
New flammable and combustible storage tanks;
Secondary containment for the new storage tanks;
Tank inlet and discharge piping and pumping systems;
Product transfer to road tankers via a new six bay loading gantry;
Drainage systems;
A new site office, switchroom and expansion of the existing control room; and
New and expanded electrical and control systems, including SIL rated systems where appropriate; and
A new fire protection system.
When completed the site will operate on a 24/7 basis as a Major Hazard Facility. The site will be manned continuously by trained operators.
Stolthaven have engaged Aurecon to prepare a Fire Safety Study (FSS) for the Stage 3 terminal.
1.1 Scope of work The Scope of Work for the FSS comprises:
Hazard identification;
Consequence effects analysis, in particular the effects of pool fires and vapour cloud dispersion (explosions);
Fire and explosion prevention strategies overview;
Fire and explosion protection systems overview; and
Environmental protection systems overview.
Due to the nature of the surrounding land uses being heavy industrial and taking into account the nearest sensitive land users are located more than 500m away, a qualitative analysis was undertaken.
1.2 Methodology The approach and methodology is based on the principles and objectives described in the NSW DPE HIPAP No. 2: Fire Safety Study Guidelines. A key aspect of this guideline is that the fire safety 'system' should be based on specific analysis of hazards and consequences, and that the elements of the proposed or existing system should be tested against that analysis.
Australian Standard, AS 1940, is the principle Australian Standard that prescribes the minimum design requirements for the storage and handling of flammable and combustible liquids. As such, the fire system requirements were assessed against the requirements of AS 1940, with guidance taken
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 4
from other relevant Australian Standards, National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards and Codes as well as other industry and International Standards and Codes of Practice.
The approach and methodology is presented in Figure 1.

1.3 Limitations The following is excluded from the FSS:
An assessment or analysis of operations outside of the Stage 3 terminal boundary and / or as described above;
A quantitative / probabilistic life or environmental risk analysis. The quantitative probabilities or frequencies of events were not considered;
Assessment of the fire safety requirements for buildings such as the switchroom.

3 Facility Description
3.1 Location The Stage 3 terminal will be located within LOT 36 and LOT 37 of the Port of Newcastle Bulk Liquids Precinct, Mayfield, NSW, Australia. The existing Stolthaven diesel storage facility is located directly to the north on LOT 2. The One Steel processing plant is to the west and empty industrial land to the east.
3.2 Product receipt Product receipt into the new facility will predominantly be via ship cargo with a small amount of blend products and additive coming in via tanker truck, IBC or ISOtainers.
The Stage 3 terminal will be supplied via five new wharf pipelines as follows:
Product Line size Material Nominal flowrate (m3/hr)
Nominal pump delivery pressure
(bar g) Design pressure
(bar g)
Diesel DN400 Carbon Steel 2,500 7-10 20
Petrol DN400 Carbon Steel 2,500 7-10 20
Petrol DN400 Carbon Steel 2,500 7-10 20
Jet DN200 Stainless Steel 400 7-10 20
Ethanol DN200 Stainless Steel 400 7-10 20
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 7
Fuel will be received into the terminal in parcel sizes of up to 70,000 tonnes via ship discharge.
All wharf supply lines will be pigged following each discharge and will rest in an empty condition.
The wharfline will terminate at two inlet manifolds, one flammables manifold on LOT 36 and one combustibles manifold on LOT 37. Each inlet manifold will also contain a pig receiver station for the relevant pipeline.
Product received into the terminal via tanker truck will be off loaded within a new six bay gantry. Products off loaded from the gantry are expected to be Biodiesel, Ethanol and fuel additives. These would be off loaded in parcel sizes of 10,000 L – 40,000 L at a rate of 60 m3/hour via dedicated DN100 unloading pipework.
3.3 Product transfer The following product transfer operations will occur as part of the Stage 3 terminal:
Road tanker filling (bottom loading);
Tank to tank transfers; and
Tank recirculation.
The most common product transfer activity will be road tanker filling within the new six bay tanker loading gantry. Each bay will have five loadings arms capable of filling at 2,400 LPM through each arm. It is expected that the maximum simultaneous loading flow at any given time, within the new gantry would not exceed 34,560 LPM.
Tank to tank transfer and tank recirculation activities will be completed from time to time as required by site operations. These processes are expected to occur at lower flowrates of approximately 7,200 LPM.
The Stage 3 terminal will be provided with a total of 24 product transfer pumps to accommodate the various products and client delivery requirements.
3.3.1 Road tanker loading operations Road tanker loading operations are carried out on a 24 hours per day, 7 days per week basis.
The tanker loading gantry has been designed in accordance with AS 1940 and is controlled via a computerised loading system (Accuload systems).
Road tanker loading operations are fully automated and are monitored from the existing control room, located on LOT 2. In addition, all gantry bays will be monitored from the site control room by closed circuit television.
Road tankers are loaded by drivers who access the site using secure swipe access cards.
The loading systems are fitted with an automatic overfill and earth protection system (scully) that requires the drivers to connect the safety and auto shut-off systems before loading operations can commence.
Each loading bay incorporates a “dead-man” switch that requires regular acknowledgment by the driver.
Each of the tanker unloading bays has an emergency shut-down switch (ESD) which shut will down all tanker unloading operations if triggered.

3.4 Storage tanks All bulk storage tanks are provided with a Tank Gauging System (TGS) that include a high level alarm. The TGS provides continuous level measurement, to indicate the full operating volume of the tank, which is transmitted to the control room, located on LOT 2.
In addition, an Independent High High Level Alarm (IHHLA) is provided on each tank. On activation of an IHHLA an alarm siren is sounded and the inlet automated tank valve is closed to isolate supply to the affected tank.
A list of bulk storage tanks, stored product and classification with respect to the ADG and AS 1940 is provided below:

3.5 Secondary containment and drainage Secondary containment by means of bunding and compound subdivision is considered to be a critical preventative and mitigation control for:
Containing product spills from tanks and equipment;
Reducing the frequency of large consequences (widespread spill) of a spill; and
Containing contaminated fire water used during application of foam and cooling water for tanks.
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 9
The effectiveness of the secondary containment system depends on the size and the construction of the bunds, and the efficiency of the drainage system.
Table 2 Bund capacity summary
Compound Largest Tank Gross Capacity (m3) Capacity of bund (m3) Ratio of capacity to
largest tank volume
1 – Flammable Liquids 12,064 14,267 118%
2 – Flammable Liquids 18,335 21,349 116%
3 – Flammable Liquids 12,064 14,300 118%
4 – Combustible Liquids 22,778 26,360 116%
5- Flammable Liquids 167 195 117% The bunds have been designed to contain spills and temporarily contain storm water prior to discharge into an oily water separator unit. There is one large oily water treatment unit to cater for the Stage 3 terminal.
In accordance with AS 1940 the net capacity of the compound is required to be at least the capacity of the largest tank plus the output of any fire water over a 20 minute period.
AS 1940 recommends that the bund volumes are sized and designed to minimise the area of fuel burning in the event of a bund fire scenario. This has been achieved by the provision of intermediate bund walls.
All compound drainage is by pumpout (over the bund wall) rather than by gravity drainage. This is a passive design feature which will prevent inadvertent release due to failure to close bund valves.
3.6 Slops Slops will be generated onsite from the following sources:
Bulk tank dewatering operations
Tanker truck drain-down
Each bulk tank, that requires regular dewatering, will have an associated tundish used for dewatering. Product is drawn from the heel of the tank and allowed to settle in the tundish. Any water in the tundish will be pumped to the slops tanks, including any water/product interface and the remaining product will be pumped back to the bulk tank.
Prior to tanker loading, any remaining product in the tanker is drained and pumped into the slops tanks. Each drain down is approximately 10 L per tanker compartment. This product could be flammable or combustible.
The Stolthaven site will not treat or reuse any slops generated. Once the slops tank is approaching full it will be loaded into a waste oil vessel and transported off site for processing by a third party.
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 1
3.7 Emergency Shut Down The new site will incorporate a site wide ESD system. ESD push buttons will be strategically placed around the site and will, as a minimum, be located in the following locations:
In each road tanker gantry bay
At pump rafts
At inlet manifolds
At the Vapour Recovery Unit
At the Switchrooms
On activation of an ESD the following functions will be performed:
All product pumps shut down
All automated tank valves close
Air supply to all drainage, slops and dewatering pumps isolated.
ESD siren
SMS automatically sent to site manager’s phone
3.8 Fire Alarms The Stage 3 terminal will be provided with a fire alarm system. Manual fire alarm call points (MCP) will be positioned at strategic locations. If activated, these send a signal back to the fire indication panel (FIP) in the main terminal control room, located on LOT 2.
The FIP is equipped to contact the Fire and Rescue New South Wales (FRNSW) alerting an alarm condition. The FIP and/or MCPs do not activate the fire water pumps.
Evacuation of all non-essential personnel and all vehicles will occur on sounding of the fire alarm.
All fire alarms initiate the following actions:
Sound the site fire alarm siren and transmit a signal to FRNSW;
Open the main site access gates; and
Activates the emergency shut-down system.
The fire alarm system will be designed and installed in accordance with the relevant sections of AS 1940 and AS 1670.

4 Hazard Identification The following potentially hazardous scenarios were identified:
Major mechanical failure of a tank resulting in a major loss of containment;
Tank roof failure for fixed cone roof tanks;
Pipe failure (piping within the Terminal) resulting in a loss of containment scenario;
Spills of flammable or combustible liquids into the bunds (i.e. tank overfill, incorrect maintenance, etc.);
Leaks during filling of road tanker or road tanker drive-away incident (i.e. driver does not disconnect the hose and drives away from the loading bay);
Leak at product pumps;
Natural phenomenon: Strong winds, bush fires, earthquakes, lightning strikes; and
Breach of security / sabotage.
A HAZOP was conducted by others, and is included in Appendix B.

4.2 Bulk storage tanks 4.2.1 Tank rupture A major mechanical failure of a bulk storage tank will result in a major loss of containment scenario. Such scenarios can rapidly escalate if an ignition source is found. Scenarios considered include:
Unignited product release (environmental consequences, not included in this FSS);
Immediate (direct) ignition of pool fire resulting in a pool fire within the compound; and / or
Delayed ignition resulting in a flash fire and / or an explosion.
4.2.2 Tank top pool fire Flammable liquid pool fires have a higher likelihood of occurrence than combustible liquid pool fires and the causes of such fires are well documented in the LASTFIRE project (Large Atmospheric Storage Tanks), Lees' Loss Prevention in the Process Industries: Hazard Identification, Assessment and Control, and work undertaken by others1.
Tank top pool fires include full surface fires and (rim) seal area fires. The design scenario depends on the tank construction: whether it is a fixed, cone roof tank or an external open top floating roof tank, and also considers the provision or otherwise of an internal floating blanket: whether these are aluminium pontoon type or full metal contact as per API 650 and NFPA 11 requirements.
Design Scenarios involving tank top pool fires are identified in Section 5.1.
4.2.3 Flash fire or explosion Flash fires or explosion scenarios may occur as a result of a major loss of containment scenario: tank ruptures, overfilling or pipework failures are the common causes of loss of containment.
A Vapour Cloud Explosion (VCE) is associated with the release of chemical and physical energy. The following parameters significantly influence the likelihood of, and the overpressures generated by a VCE:
Flammability and quantity of fuel;
Degree of confinement/congestion;
Source and strength of ignition; and
Weather conditions.
A VCE typically results in extensive equipment damage and injury/fatality across a large area, depending on the level of confinement and size of the vapour cloud.
A flash fire scenario is likely to result in fatality within the flash fire envelope with limited damage to plant. Typically, the burning zone is estimated by first performing a dispersion model and defining the burning zone from the LFL back to the release point..

4.2.4 Vent fire Flammable vapour being vented may be ignited resulting in a vent fire. Tank vent fires are more likely to occur than full surface tank fires, however the effects are usually minimal. When addressed, vent fires can usually be extinguished with minimal damage and low risk to personnel using first aid measures such as fire extinguishers or hose streams.
In addition, the likelihood of escalation of a vent fire is low as the vapour space is typically either too rich (PV vented tanks) or too lean (tanks open to atmosphere) to support combustion.
4.2.5 Bund fire A bund fire may occur as a result of a major loss of containment scenario: tank ruptures, overfilling or pipework failures are the common causes of loss of containment. The size of the fire depends on the amount of product spilt and ranges from an intermediate bunded area pool fire to a full bunded area pool fire. Reviewing the provision and integrity of intermediate bunds is one means of minimising the size of a pool fire.
4.3 Road tanker loading operations 4.3.1 Gantry pool fire A gantry pool fire may occur where flammable or combustible liquids are handled.
The loading gantry will handle flammable liquids, a pool fire in a single bay has been considered to be a Design Scenario. Note that the impact from a pool fire in a single bay may impact on equipment and / or personnel in adjacent bays. A drainage system provides gravity drainage away from the gantry to a remote impounding basin (which has foam application). Flash fire or explosion
As displaced vapours from loading operations are processed in a Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU), flash fires and or explosion scenarios are not considered.
A major loss of containment scenario followed by delayed ignition may result in an explosion or a flash fire scenario. As the loading gantries are provided with a drainage system that acts to remove spilt product away from the loading area thereby minimising the amount of product that can disperse, it is considered that a dispersing cloud is not likely to hold sufficient flammable mater to cause significant overpressure in the event of an explosion. The worst case event may be a limited extent flash fire.
4.4 Pipework and pipelines 4.4.1 Leak A jet fire occurs when a high velocity discharge (release from a pipeline or pipework) ignites. The flame produces varying amounts of smoke depending on the material released and the degree of air entrainment during the discharge.
By their nature, jet fires are very hot and erosive and have the potential to rapidly weaken exposed plant and equipment, even in instances where passive fire protection is provided. They also pose a serious thermal risk to personnel. The potential heat flux in the flame of a jet fire can be in the order of 350 kW/m2.
Escalation from a jet fire scenario would normally involve direct flame impingement or prolonged exposure to high heat radiation exposure.
4.4.2 Rupture A rupture of a pipeline or pipework will result in a loss of containment of product, which if ignited will result in a pool fire. Depending on the nature of the topography (typically pipelines) and potential containment options the pool fire will either be unconfined (or broadly confined to the general topography) or confined in the bunded area.

5 Scenarios 5.1 Design scenarios Design Scenarios have been identified based on the fire system requirements of AS 1940 and / or having a relatively high probability of occurrence. Such scenarios are documented in Table 4. Table 4 Design Scenarios
Design scenario Scenario description
Tank top, full surface fires on fixed, cone roof tanks
Full surface fire on flammable liquid storage tanks with a fixed cone roof (with or without an approved internal floating blanket), as required by AS 1940 and NFPA 11. In addition, tanks storing combustible liquids that share the same compound as tanks storing flammable liquids are also assumed to be potential tank on fire scenarios for the purposes of tank cooling calculations as per AS 1940. Potential exposure of personnel (typically limited to on-site) and equipment/plant to high levels of radiant heat. The pool fire products of combustion may be toxic to both people and the environment. In the event of a pool fire, effluent may be released into the environment, with the potential for damage to the environment.
Intermediate bund area spill scenario
A major loss of containment scenario resulting in flammable liquid being contained by the secondary containment system (bund). As per API RP 2021 the application of a foam blanket on hydrocarbon spills, which have not ignited is the design criteria for such a scenario.
Pool fire in a single bay of the loading Gantry
A single bay pool fire may occur where flammable or combustible liquids are handled. A Gantry pool fire is likely to result in the exposure of people, equipment and the Gantry structure to radiant heat. In addition to radiant heat exposure, the pool fire products of combustion may be toxic to both people and the environment. In the event of a release of a flammable or combustible liquid and/or a pool fire, effluent, including any fire fighting foam, may be released into the environment, with the potential for damage to the environment.
Pipeline pool fire contained within a bunded area
A pool of flammable liquid may accumulate in the pump bank or manifold area where product has leaked from a hose, pipe or loose flange. Ignition may cause a pool and/or flash fire in the pump bank bunded area. A pool fire would result in exposure of equipment, neighbouring tanks and the pump shelter structure to radiant heat from a pool fire. The pool fire products of combustion may be toxic to both people and the environment. In the event of a release of a flammable or combustible liquid and/or a pool fire, effluent may be released into the environment, with the potential for damage to the environment.
Gantry spill pit fire Any spills from the truck loading operations within the gantry will pass to the gantry spill pit. Ignition may result in a pool fire that is contained by the spill pit that could result in the exposure of equipment, neighbouring tanks and the gantry structure from the radiant heat produced by the fire.
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 6
Design scenario Scenario description
Vapour recovery unit fire The VRU will process displaced vapour from the road tanker loading gantry and condenses this vapour back into liquid form using the carbon adsorption-absorption process. The vapour displaced will be piped from the loading gantry to the VRU via an overhead vapour header. An internal explosion or loss of containment from the VRU is considered to be a design scenario. Ignition of any spilt product may result in a pool fire that is contained by the VRU slab that could result in the exposure of equipment, neighbouring tanks and the workshop building from the radiant heat produced by the fire.
Pool fire in the additives / SLOPS compound
The tanks in the additive slops compound shall be designed to AS 1692 or API 650 but will have explosion hatches in the roof to protect against a tank bottom failure. Therefore tank top pool fires are considered as the potential fire scenario.
5.2 Non-Design Scenarios Non-Design Scenarios have been identified being those outside the scope of AS 1940 and / or having a relatively low probability of occurrence. Such scenarios tend to result in high consequences and are listed in Table 5. Table 5 Non-Design Scenarios
Non-design scenario Scenario description
Secondary knock on effects There is potential for a design fire scenario to escalate to involve adjacent tanks or other terminal infrastructure. Such escalation is likely to extend the fire duration and result in further damage. This is especially a concern for a full-surface bund fire in a compound containing multiple tanks, or a large loss of containment of flammable material resulting in a vapour cloud explosion which could involve other tanks, infrastructure or equipment. Such scenarios are outside the guidance in relevant Standards and Codes of Practice and are considered to be non-design scenarios.
Multiple tanks on fire A full surface fire involving multiple tanks was considered to be a Non-Design Scenarios. The frequency of occurrence of such an event is low. The likelihood for escalation should be reduced sufficiently through the provision of appropriate fire protection systems.
Full surface bund fire Full surface bund fires were considered to be Non-Design Scenarios. The frequency of occurrence of such an event is low.
Flash fires Flash fires were considered to be non- Non-Design Scenarios. Flash fires usually occur following a release of flammable liquid into a bund or from piping, pipelines, pipe fittings etc. The impact of flash fires on equipment is limited, however personnel inside a flash fire envelope are typically assumed to suffer fatality.
Vapour cloud explosions Vapour cloud explosions were considered to be Non-Design Scenarios. The frequency of a vapour cloud explosion following a release is lower than that of a flash fire. Furthermore, fire fighting measures are considered ineffective and not appropriate for explosion scenarios, when considering the exclusion of secondary knock on effect scenarios.
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 7
Non-design scenario Scenario description
Pipeline jet fire Jet fires could occur during the pumping of flammable liquids within the Terminal. In accordance with CPR 18E, a leak is defined as the outflow with an effective diameter of 10% of the nominal diameter, up to a maximum of 50 mm. In the event of a loss of containment scenario from a pipeline or pipework within the terminal, as a result of a leak, and ignition the jet fire may result in exposure to people, equipment and other structures. Although the frequency of a jet fire from pressurised pipelines or piping is relatively high following a highly pressurised release of flammable liquid, the likelihood of a highly pressurised release is relatively low.
Non-Design scenarios (larger, very low likelihood scenarios) are not usually required to be provided with fixed fire systems and are typically managed through effective emergency response planning and mutual aid arrangements. Exceptions may be made to this on a risk basis where the potential consequences associated with the scenario are unacceptable (for example, for operations that are close to residential areas or other sensitive developments such as hospitals or schools).
Risk reduction is a core component of both design and non-design scenarios and is typically achieved as follows:
Identification of layers of protection or preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of occurrence;
Implementation of fire safety management systems such as the development of pre-fire plans and emergency response plans;
Development of “mutual aid” strategies;
Reliance on the emergency services – particularly the Local Fire Brigade; and
Providing effective means of access and egress from affected areas.

6.2 Dispersion modelling Release of liquid petrol to the bunded areas results in evaporation and the generation of a vapour cloud. Depending on the atmospheric conditions – wind speed and temperature affecting evaporation, and atmospheric stability and wind speed affecting dispersion – a flammable vapour cloud can form. Under unstable atmospheric stability conditions, a flammable vapour cloud is not predicted to occur, Under low wind speed conditions at night with stable or very stable atmospheric wind conditions (Pasquill classes E and F) a dense flammable vapour cloud can form and disperse long distances downwind.
EFFECTS® consequence modelling software was used to determine the flammable vapour cloud concentration as a function of distance. Concentrations between the Lower Explosion Limit (LEL) and Upper Explosion Limit (UEL) of flammable material / air mixture were determined to estimate the explosive mass in the vapour cloud.
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 9
The results from the dispersion modelling are presented in Table 7, in terms of the flammable cloud area at ground level and explosive mass.

6.2.1 Explosion analysis Release of liquid petrol to the bunded areas results in evaporation and the generation of a vapour cloud. Depending on the atmospheric conditions -wind speed and temperature affecting evaporation, and atmospheric stability and wind speed affecting dispersion – a flammable vapour cloud can form.
Particularly under low wind speed, very stable atmospheric stability conditions, a flammable vapour clouds can form and travel a considerable distance from the point of release. The area for evaporation is an important parameter in determining the evaporation rate and hence the size of the resulting flammable cloud.
The Terminal QRA considered a number of initiating events that could result in loss of liquid containment. These include tank top overflow and tank failures leading to either gradual or catastrophic loss of tank contents. For the QRA, each of these events was calculated for each tank and for all combinations of wind speed, direction and atmospheric stability class.
Presented below are the results of modelling both a full bund spill (catastrophic failure) and tank overflow scenarios, with a wind speed of 1.9 m/s and Pasquill atmospheric stability class F (very stable) using EFFECTS® consequence modelling software. It should be noted that all modelling uses a multicomponent representation for petrol, and the results are similar to using n-pentane as a “representative” chemical.
The extent of the flammable vapour cloud assumes that ignition will occur 3 minutes after the liquid pool forms. At this point, the vapour cloud is well beyond the terminal site and ignition sources are uncontrolled.
The results from the explosion analysis are presented in Table 8 for wind speed/stability pair of F1.9.

6.2.2 Bund flash fire scenarios The modelling described above defines the extent of the flammable vapour cloud for the specified conditions. If a flash fire occurs, any person in the open within the extent of the blue contour in would receive fatal burns.
Aurecon note that a catastrophic tank rupture is a very low likelihood event. As such no fixed infrastructure is required to mitigate such a scenario and preventative control measures are more appropriate.

7 Risk reduction measures This Section summarise the proposed risk reduction measures associated with the Stage 3 works in line with “best practice” terminal operation. The provision of risk reduction measures are critical to the safe operation of the Terminal and reduce the likelihood of high consequence events (major accident hazards) occurring. The following risk reduction measures have been identified:
7.1 General 7.1.1 Entry controls Full site perimeter fencing with automatic gates prevents unauthorised access to the site.
7.1.2 Control of ignition sources Sources of ignition will be controlled in areas where the potential exists for the presence of flammable vapour-air mixtures. Typical ignition sources include, but are not limited to: lightning, static electricity, stray currents, hot work, internal combustion engines, smoking, and improperly classified or unprotected electrical equipment. AS 60079 (series) specifies the general requirements for construction, testing and marking of electrical equipment and Ex Components intended for use in explosive atmospheres.
Management of work in hazardous areas is achieved through the use of hot work permits.
7.1.3 Tank separation distances Tank to tank and tank to Terminal infrastructure is considered to be a layer of protection in that the likelihood of escalation or fire damage to equipment, and important buildings is reduced as the separation distance increases. Tank separation distances have been set to meet the minimum requirements of AS 1940.
7.1.4 Emergency shut down and isolation Provision for emergency shutdown and isolation of equipment minimises the likelihood or consequences of a loss of containment scenario. Emergency shut down systems are provided at the road loading gantries, pump bays and inlet manifold areas
7.1.5 Emergency planning and Training A written emergency action plan that is consistent with available equipment and personnel will be established to respond to fires and related emergencies. This plan will include the following information (as a minimum):
Procedures to be followed in case of fire or release of liquids or vapours, such as sounding the alarm, notifying the fire department, evacuating personnel, and controlling and extinguishing the fire;
Procedures and schedules for conducting drills of these procedures;
Appointment and training of personnel to carry out assigned duties, including review at the time of initial assignment, as responsibilities or response actions change, and whenever anticipated duties change;
Procedures for maintenance and operation of:
− Fire protection equipment and systems;
− Drainage and containment systems; and
− Dispersion and ventilation equipment and systems.
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 13
Procedures for shutting down or isolating equipment to reduce, mitigate, or stop the release of liquid or vapours, including assigning personnel responsible for maintaining critical plant functions or shutdown of plant processes and safe start-up following isolation or shutdown; and
Alternate measures for the safety of occupants.
Personnel responsible for the use and operation of fire protection equipment will be trained in the use of that equipment. Refresher training will be conducted at least annually.
7.1.6 Maintenance and Inspection Maintaining the integrity of the bulk storage tanks, piping and other related infrastructure required for the safe operation of the terminal is essential in reducing the risk associated with product spills, fires and explosions. A comprehensive maintenance and inspection plan will be developed to document the maintenance and inspection activities at a (minimum) frequency set by relevant Standards and Codes of Practice.
7.2 Bulk storage tanks 7.2.1 Overfill protection Tank overfill scenarios may result in a loss of containment that should be contained by the secondary containment system. In order to minimise loss of containment occurring due to overfilling a bulk storage tank, the storage tanks will be provided with an independent high high level alarm system. When a pre-determined level in the tank is reached, the independent high high level alarm will act to close the actuated tank inlet valve and sound an alarm on site and at the wharf. This system will act as an additional layer of protection in conjunction with the current tank gauging and monitoring system.
7.2.2 Tank construction Tank construction as a risk reduction measure depends on the physical and chemical properties of the particular product stored, and taking into consideration the operational preferences and meteorological conditions that the terminal is exposed to.
All bulk storage tanks will be designed to meet the requirements of API 650. The design and safety measures that will be provided as summarised below:

7.4 Secondary containment Loss of containment and fire prevention measures for the tank compounds are:
The volume of the tank compounds are designed to contain at least 100% of the gross volume of the largest tank contained within that compound plus an allowance for fire water and/or stormwater. Any loss of containment should be fully contained, hence a pool fire is expected to be confined to the bund, preventing escalation of a spill or fire scenario;
No offsite release of hydrocarbon or fire water is expected;
The following transfer/filling procedures reduce the potential for a release of product into the compounds:
− Tank levels are monitored during tank filling by means of level indication
− Tank levels are monitored at all times to identify potential rapid tank level loss indicating leaks
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 15
− Tanks are provided with high level alarms for alerting operators against overfilling a tank and automatically closing tank inlet
Regular testing and inspection of tanks reduces the potential for leaks into the compounds by identifying corrosion and other tank defects.
7.5 Product Inlet manifolds Risk reduction measures for the product inlet manifold are as follows:
The manifold is located within a dedicated containment area, hence retaining spilled hydrocarbon and reducing the potential for spreading and escalation of a potential pool fire;
7.6 Pump bank and product transfer pumps Risk reduction measures for the pump bank areas are as follows:
Piping between tanks and pumps is generally located in the main tank compound so that any loss of containment should be retained within the main bunded area;
The product pumps are located within a dedicated containment area with the release of product expected to be retained within these areas. The extent of any pool fire should be limited to the containment area, preventing a spreading pool fire or escalation of a pool fire;
The number of flanges on the pipework that is not located in a spill containment area is minimised to reduce the potential for loss of containment;
7.7 Gantry operations Risk reduction measures for Gantry operations are as follows:
The gantry operations require the all road tankers comply with the Safe Load Program (SLP) for the safe loading at terminals and depots. Non-compliance to SLP Pass-2-Load may prevent the vehicle from loading.
The loading bay area is bunded to minimise the spread of any spills and drains are provided that pass directly to a remote impounding basin;
Tanker unloading operations are monitored by drivers during transfers so the source and extent of a release should be rapidly identified. The loading gantry is under CCTV surveillance at all times – monitored at the site office.
Tanker loading operations are monitored by the driver and have an automated “traffic light” system in each gantry bay, so the likelihood of a drive-away incident is low;
Dry break couplings are provided on loading arms, this minimises the quantity of product that could be released during a drive-away incident.
A driver “deadman” system is operated in each loading bay. This requires regular acknowledgment by the driver during filling. If this is not acknowledged then the loading in that bay will automatically shut down.
Each loading gantry is connected to a VRU via fully enclosed piping to process displaced vapours from tanker trucks;
Transfer systems are computer controlled. This reduces the potential for a release.
Gantry areas are open so natural ventilation occurs, displacing vapours from tanker truck venting during loading/unloading;
Bollard and ‘Armco’ protection is provided On entry to the gantry to minimise collision with other tankers and equipment that could result in a possible loss of containment

8 Fire Protection Systems The fire protection systems at the Terminal are expected to comprise:
Water supply from Town water mains and storage in fixed water storage tanks;
Water distribution system comprising of a hydrant ring main;
Bulk storage tank foam systems:
Gantry fixed foam systems;
Other (miscellaneous) fire protection systems; and
Protection for Non-Design Scenarios.
Drawings of the proposed fire protection systems at the Terminal are included in Appendix A.
8.1 Water supply and storage The basis for the water supply and storage is AS 1940, which requires that sufficient fire water be available from static fire water storage tanks or mains or a combination of both to supply the sum of the requirements for at least 90 minutes of cooling water, the largest foam demand for a period no less than design and supplementary (hydrant) water for at least 240 minutes.
8.1.1 Fire water storage tanks Water for fire fighting purposes will be stored in four 1.2 ML fire water storage tanks. Two are currently located as part of the existing terminal on LOT 2 and another two will be installed on LOT 36 as part of the Stage 3 works. The tanks will be connected and hydraulically balanced via a DN250 cross connection pipeline.
The fire water tanks will be connected to Town water mains to ensure that they are automatically filled and topped up following routing testing and maintenance activities.
8.1.2 Town water main system The fire water tanks are currently filled from the Town water mains.
The FSS notes that the on site storage capacity is sufficient to provide the maximum water for fire fighting purposes without the need for make up water from the Town water mains. Any additional water from the Town water mains will provide additional duration (time) for fire fighting purposes.
8.2 Bulk storage tanks 8.2.1 Cooling water system The tank cooling water requirements were calculated in accordance with AS 1940 Appendix J for Design Scenarios identified in Section 5.1. In addition, consequence effects modelling was conducted to determine the cooling water required for each Design Scenario (refer Section 6).
The AS 1940 Appendix J calculations assume that the exposed area of the tank is a 120° sector facing the potential tank on fire. Where neighbouring tanks are within 1.5 times the diameter of a potential tank on fire, it is considered that the tank shell will require cooling water application. Where neighbouring tanks are within 1.0 times the diameter of a potential tank on fire, it is considered that the tank roof will require cooling water application. The cooling water application rates are based on the tank separation distance and the diameter of the tank on fire and is represented in Figure J1.
In accordance with the EI MCSP Part 19, where adjacent tank exposure levels are likely to be greater than 8 kW/m2, as determined by consequence effects analysis, cooling water should be applied. For
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 17
the tank shell, a 120° sector is assumed for the neighbouring tank that faces a potential tank on fire, similar to the AS 1940 calculation. For the tank roof, the area of the roof is estimated from the consequence effects analysis and either a 120°, 180° or 360° roof sector is used as the area requiring cooling water application.
The tank cooling flowrates are presented in Table 9.

Notes:
1. Cooling water flowrates do not include a wastage factor that may be necessitated by the application method.
The following methods are commonly used for cooling water application:
Fixed cooling rings;
Fixed, self-oscillating monitors (water cannons); and / or
Mobile equipment.
Fixed cooling rings installed on tanks is the preferred option for the application of cooling water due to a low wastage fraction (typically between 10% and 20%) and that the system can be operated from a safe location away from the fire hazard, however fixed cooling rings incur the highest cost to install. Fixed water monitors can also be operated from a safe location, however they are less efficient with a typical wastage fraction of 50%, resulting in higher water demands and are the lowest in terms of cost to install. Mobile equipment are the least preferred option due to the time requirement to set up, the coordination involved and that they will be required to be operated from a position that may place personnel at risk in the event that the wind / weather changes and the equipment needs to be relocated. In addition, mobile equipment is typically more costly to provide than fixed water monitors.
In order to balance the water demand with install cost all Stage 3 tanks will be provided with fixed cooling rings, and fixed, self-oscillating monitors will be provided for the diesel storage tanks on LOT 2 that are at risk from the Stage 3 terminal.
8.2.2 Foam system Foam application rates have been determined for all bulk tank Design Scenarios. The tank top foam application will be by means of Type II top of tank foam pourers for fixed roof tanks containing flammable product. In accordance with AS 1940, every vertical tank over 6 m diameter that contains flammable liquid shall be provided with a fixed foam system in accordance with NFPA 11 irrespective

of whether an internal or external roof is provided for the tank, unless the use of foam is inappropriate. Foam shall be applied as directly as possible to the liquid surface.
Application rates were calculated using the NFPA 11 application density of 4.1 LPM/m2 for fixed cone roof tanks and a foam concentrate ratio of 3%. The foam system requirements are presented in Table 10.

The FSS proposes that this system be dedicated to the diesel storage facility loading gantry and that a new foam concentrate storage system and proportioning system be provided for the Stage 3 works.
In accordance with NFPA 11, Clause 11.6.4 the foam concentration (in solution) is required to meet the following properties:
Not less than the rated concentration; and
No more than 30% above the rated concentrate, or 1 percentage point above the rated concentration (whichever is less).
As the foam concentrate storage presented in Table 10 are for 3% proportioned foam concentrate, the volumes should be considered as the minimum storage volumes. In practice, the actual achieved proportioning rate is likely to be around 3.3%, which will result in an increases the maximum storage requirement of 6,509 L to 7,160 L.
As the Stage 3 terminal will store ethanol, an alcohol resistant foam concentrate will be required.
Foam proportioning Foam proportioning involves the continuous introduction of foam concentrate at the design ratio into the water stream to form foam solution.
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 21
The diesel terminal currently proportions foam via a bladder tank with a variable (range) proportioner (Angus BPP200 without improver). As the capacity of the bladder tank is significantly less than the required capacity, the FSS proposes that a new, centralised foam proportioning system be provided as part of the Stage 3 works.
The following methods are commonly used for foam proportioning:
Balanced pressure pump type proportioner;
Bladder tank with balanced pressure proportioner;
Inline eductor (inductor); and
Coupled water motor pump.
Balanced pressure pump type proportioner Pumped balanced pressure proportioning systems use foam concentrate pumps to pump foam concentrate, which is mixed into the water stream using a balanced pressure proportioner.
Pumped systems are typically used for foam application on multiple assets with differing demands. They have the highest initial and ongoing costs of the four commonly used options, but are considered to be the most versatile.
Bladder tank with balanced pressure proportioner Bladder tank systems utilise incoming water to pressurise a bladder containing foam concentrate. This pressurised foam concentrate is then mixed with water via a balanced pressure proportioner.
Sampling and testing the foam concentrate is difficult as these systems are inherently complex due to the number of control valves required. Bladder tank systems are typically installed for loading gantry fire protection.
Inline eductor (inductor) An inline eductor (inductor) is a fixed flow device which uses a venturi to create a pressure drop in order to draw in foam concentrate. It has a metering orifice in the foam concentrate line which ensures the correct mixing ratio.
Inductors operate based on a fixed flow creating a known pressure drop, therefore they are generally used for protection of a single fixed asset and can only operate under one design configuration.
Inductors typically require high inlet pressures (up to 10 bar) to operate correctly and have a typical pressure drop of 30-40% of the inlet pressure.
The main disadvantage of an inductor system is that they are susceptible to back pressure changes (deviations from design or as commissioned) and may not operate as intended should nozzles be blocked, or if a drain valve (or similar) downstream of the inductor is left open.
Coupled water motor pump The Knowsley SK Turbinator is a coupled water motor pump system which has recently been introduced to Terminals in Australia. It uses water flow to drive a positive displacement foam concentrate pump which pumps a corresponding amount of foam concentrate directly into the water stream to produce foam solution.
The Turbinator system operates similarly to balanced pressure type systems in that it has a low pressure loss and can proportion over a wide range of foam flowrates. Advantages over a balanced pressure proportioning system (bladder tank or pumped type) are significantly reduced cost, smaller footprint and lower complexity.
An alternative to the Turbinator system is the FireDos proportioning system. The advantages of the FireDos over the Turbinator are that it can be used for different foam concentrate proportioning rates:
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 22
the Turbinator is set up for a single proportioning rate, it can also be used for 1% foam concentrate proportioning, whereas the Turbinator can only be used for 3% or 6% foam concentrate proportioning

Based on the analysis above, foam proportioning will be achieved using a coupled water motor pump, specifically the Knowsley SK Turbinator.
Based on the foam solution flowrates, which range from 725 LPM to 3,945 LPM the MIDI-PLUS model would be required. As the minimum flowrate for this model is 1,000 LPM, the two smaller tanks (ND 25: Ethanol and ND 26: Jet) will be supplied with a higher flowrate than the design requirement. In accordance with NFPA 11, the over application of foam solution to tanks is permitted and a reduction in application time can be factored in. As these two smaller tanks do not impact on the sizing of the foam concentrate storage, it is proposed that no reduction in the nominal application time is applied to avoid any confusion during the foam attack.
8.2.3 Maximum fire water demand – Design scenarios The maximum fire water demand is based on providing a single cooling ring on all tanks to provide cooling to all areas of the tank identified as being at risk of radiant heat exposure.
The following exceptions apply:
Segmented cooling rings: the following tanks, which will be provided with two segmented cooling rings in order to reduce the worst case fire water demand:
− Tank ND 11;
− Tank ND 13;
− Tank ND 14; and
− Tank ND 18.
Monitor application: the following tanks will be provided with monitors for cooling water application:
− Tank NN 1;
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 23
− Tank NN 2;
− Tank NN 3; and
− Tank NN 5.
Aurecon assessed the worst case (maximum demand) fire water demand based on the Stage 3 terminal configuration.
The maximum fire water demand is summarised in Table 12 for the top three fire water demand scenarios. A full breakdown of the maximum fire water requirements is outlined in Appendix D.

8.2.4 Static fire water storage The worst case (maximum demand) fire water storage requirements for the Stage 3 works are outlined in Table 13.

Foam 3,826 55 210,448
Hydrants 900 240 216,000
Total 45,795 4,122,613
In order to provide the required storage capacity, two new fire water storage tanks, each with an effective capacity of 1.2 ML will be installed on LOT 36 as part of the Stage 3 works, bringing the total storage capacity to 4.8 ML.
The four fire water storage tanks will be hydraulically balanced via a DN250 cross connection line.
8.2.5 Activation As the site will be manned on a 24/7 basis by trained operators, the activation of the tank cooling and foam systems will be manual, with the position of the activation panel remote from the fire hazard. .
The level of risk reduction provided by a fully automated fire detection and initiation systems is not significant to warrant their installation. This is supported by the heat radiation modelling work, with the 8.0 kW/m2 heat radiation contour not reached at ground level and the 4.7 kW/m2 heat radiation contour: which is considered the threshold for safe operation of fire fighting equipment without protection, extending in most cases 15 m from the tank shell.
The Stage 3 terminal activation methodology will be as follows:
Tank cooling
− Deluge valves that branch off the hydrant ring main. Hydrant ring main pressure will hold the deluge valve in the closed position under normal terminal operations;
− Each deluge valve will be provided with a normally closed, magnetic latching (fail in last position) electric solenoid that will be operated from the fire system control panel;
− Upon activation of the solenoid, the control tubing that holds pressure on the deluge valve diaphragm will relieve to grade allowing the deluge valve to open and the cooling systems to operate.
Tank foam
− A foam solution ring main will run parallel to the hydrant ring main. The foam solution ring main will normally rest on foam solution. In order to assure the reliability of the held foam solution, annual foam sampling from three positions will be required;
− Foam deluge valves that branch off the foam solution ring main.
− A branch from the pressurised hydrant ring main will hold the foam deluge valve in the closed position under normal terminal operations;
− Each deluge valve will be provided with a normally closed, magnetic latching (fail in last position) electric solenoid that will be operated from the fire system control panel;
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 25
− Upon activation of the solenoid, the control tubing that holds pressure on the deluge valve diaphragm will relieve to grade allowing the deluge valve to open and the cooling systems to operate;
− A pressure switch will be installed downstream of the foam deluge valve to provide positive feedback to the fire control panel.
Medium expansion foam pourers
− Where medium expansion foam pourers are required, they will operate as per the bulk tank foam systems.
Foam capable monitors
− All foam capable monitors will branch off the hydrant ring main and their operation will be as per the tank cooling systems
8.3 Water distribution system 8.3.1 Fire water pumps
8.3.2 Hydrant ring main In accordance with AS 1940 and AS 2419.1, dual outlet hydrant valves are required to be positioned along the hydrant main with a maximum spacing of 60 m. In addition, AS 1940 requires that hydrants are placed such that cooling water can be applied to all surfaces of every tank requiring cooling using a hose with length not exceeding 60 m.
AS 2419.1 also requires that sufficient isolation valves be installed on the hydrant main to ensure that in the event of pipework failure that at least 75% of the system be operable.
The hydrant piping will be sized to meet the following requirements:
Maximum velocity, assuming split flow, of 4 m/s
When the worst case (demand) fire scenario tank cooling, foam and hydrants are operating, the minimum residual pressure in the hydrant ring main will be greater than 700 kPa
Subject to agreement with the local fire brigade, and due to the fire water demands, it is proposed that a number of large bore Storz couplings (DN150) are installed on the hydrant ring main to provide additional flexibility in fire fighting.
8.4 Road loading gantry In accordance with NFPA 16, foam-water sprinkler systems are required to be designed for a discharge density of 6.5 LPM/m2 and a discharge duration of 10 minutes over the entire system area.
A summary of the fire protection requirements for the Stage 3 loading gantry is provided in Table 14.
Table 14 Foam requirements for the Gantries in accordance with NFPA 16

Foam density (LPM/m2)

Stage 3 loading gantry – entire gantry area 1,300 6.5 8,450 2,535
Stage 3 loading gantry – single bay 215 6.5 1,398 419
In order to provide the required flowrate of 8,450 LPM, and taking into consideration the bulk tank foam system requirements, it is proposed that a second Turbinator MIDI-PLUS be provided. The two units will operate in parallel to provide the required flowrate of foam solution to the loading gantry.
Project 236974 File Rs236974 - Stolthaven NCT Stage 3 Fire Safety Study.docx 27 June 2016 Revision B Page 26
8.4.1 Activation It is proposed to provide an automatic foam deluge system in the Gantry that will cover the entire gantry structure (area). This will be automatically operated by UVIR flame detectors in each unloading bay of the Gantry, these will operate on a voting system. The system will be able to be manually activated via push buttons that will be located at the exit of each gantry bay, at the terminal control room on LOT 2 and from the Stage 3 terminal pump house.
8.5 Vapour Recovery Unit The VRU has been identified as a potential fire scenario and due to it’s location to tank ND 12, it is proposed that a water cannon (monitor) is provided for cooling purposes. However as all monitors will be provided with a self-educting foam nozzle to allow flexibility, foam can also be applied to the VRU containment area if required.
The monitor will be provided with a nominal flowrate of 3,000 LPM.
8.6 Gantry spill pit Any spills within the loading gantry will pass to the gantry spill pit that is located to the south of the gantry operational area. The gantry spill pit has been identified as a potential fire scenario and as such, a medium expansion foam pourer will be provided to extinguish a pool fire in this area.
The design criteria for the gantry spill pit fire suppression system is as follows:
Application of foam to cover the pit area within 10 minutes;
A foam blanket thickness of 100 mm; and
Using medium expansion foam pourer with a minimum expansion ratio of 40:1.
Table 15 Foam requirements for gantry spill pit area
Bunded area Area (m2) Foam required (LPM)
Number of foam pourers
Gantry spill pit 99.8 25 1
The foam pourer will be remotely activated from the same control panel as the bulk storage tank cooling and foam systems.
8.7 Bunded area foam system Loss of containment scenarios were highlighted as a potential risk as part of the PHA. The loss of containment from a tank overfill is one of the scenarios identified as well as a catastrophic tank failure. In order to minimise the likelihood of a VCE, the suppression of vapour evolution can be achieved by the application of a foam blanket to the spilt product. For a tank overfill scenario, it is assumed that the spilt product is contained by the intermediate bunding provided around each bulk storage tank. For a catastrophic tank failure, it is assumed that the spilt product is contained by the main compound walls. Based on this, the design criteria is as follows:
Application of foam to cover the bunded area within 10 minutes;
A foam blanket thickness of 100 mm; and
Using medium expansion foam pourer with a minimum expansion ratio of 40:1.
The results are summarised in Table 16.

8.8 Minor storage / SLOPS area fire protection Monitor for protection against a bulk storage tank fire. The monitor will be remotely activated from the same control panel as the bulk storage tank cooling and foam systems.
Medium expansion foam pourer in the event of a pool fire within the bunded area. The foam pourer will be remotely activated from the same control panel as the bulk storage tank cooling and foam systems.
8.9 Other The following miscellaneous fire protection elements are included at the Terminal as part of the fire protection systems:
A fire alarm system will be installed at the terminal to meet the relevant requirements of the BCA, AS 1940 and AS 1670 (series);
Labelling and identification of all fire fighting equipment will be provided to ensure the correct activation of equipment in an emergency situation;
A block plan of the fire protection system showing the locations of tanks, valves, pipelines and hydrants will be provided at the fire control point in accordance with AS 1940 requirements;
A maintenance schedule will be implemented for the fire protection systems on site;
Portable fire extinguishers will be provided in accordance with AS 1940;
Pre-incident plans for specific fire scenarios will be developed to aid fire fighting personnel.

Executive Summary
Stolthaven Australia Pty Ltd (Stolthaven) has entered into leases with The Port of Newcastle (PON). The terminal is already operating with diesel and biodiesel products on Lot 2.
Stolthaven is in the construction phase of a purpose‐built bulk liquids berth (Mayfield M7) and in the approval stage for the Stage 3 Development of the shore leases (lots 36 & 37). Stolthaven will own and operate the berth and terminal in accordance with its lease obligations.
The current HAZOP and Risk Assessment covers Stage 3 of the terminal development and is based on the present understanding of committed and forward‐looking customer requirements. The product slate is included as Table 5 Marine & Loading Bay Movements. The HAZOP is based on a conceptual layout for Stage 3 though the final details and staging of construction will depend on firm customer commitments.
Currently, the terminal receives parcels from marine tankers, stores and loads to road tankers both diesel and biodiesel products using Mayfield Berth 4A for marine discharge. The expansion will increase current diesel storage capacity and provide additional storage for unleaded petrol, ethanol and jet fuel. All products will be discharged from the new Mayfield 7 Berth. As the storage quantities likely to be present after the expansion exceed the threshold quantity of Schedule 15 of the Work Health & Safety Regulations 2011 (WHSR 2011), the terminal will be licensed as a Major Hazard Facility.
A HAZOP conducted on 3/4/5 March 2015 was the first phase of a detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) process for the terminal. Previous preliminary process hazard analysis has included both berth and terminal operations (to Stage 2) based on preliminary design. Outcomes of these preliminary studies have been incorporated progressively in the design. The Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) which formed part of the Development Application (DA) was based on Probability Bow‐Ties1 (PBTs) developed using the results of this HAZOP.
A second Stage 3 HAZOP was conducted on 2/3/4 May 2016 covering additional Biodiesel, Additives and Slops tanks, and the further development of the Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) and Drainage System
The primary purpose was to identify those events that may lead to the exposure of a person to a serious risk to health or safety. The HAZOP Guidewords include initiating events that may lead to loss of containment, explosion and fire. As an integral part of the workshop, a previous HAZID Study (Report 11039) for the preliminary design of the berth and a previous HAZID Study (Report 11043) for the preliminary design of the terminal for Stage 3 were reviewed. The current HAZOP Report therefore represents a consolidation of all previous process hazard analysis studies, and as input to the QRA..
The design is not finalised and there are a number of technical decisions yet to be made. As the design develops, additional Process Hazard Analysis (PHA) processes (such as final HAZOP and SFARP studies) will be conducted, and these will feed into the terminal safety management system, the QRA and Safety Case.
The report is structured as follows:
Section 1 of this report provides background information.
Section 2 provides the basis for the HAZOP and risk assessment and states the assumptions made.
Section 3 covers the risk criteria applied for risk assessment.
Section Error! Reference source not found. covers methodology and records workshop team members
Sections 5 to 6 contain the HAZOP Workshop Notes.
Section 7 provides the HAZOP Action List.
Section 8 identifies significant model parameters used in pool fire modelling
Section 9 summarises consequence analysis for the hazardous scenarios identified in the HAZID.
Section 10 provides the basis of probability of the initiation of hazardous events.
Section 11 presents the risk assessment for the identified hazardous events and their adverse outcomes. This section includes Probability Bow Ties which link the initiating events preventative and mitigative safeguards through to the potentially adverse outcomes and final risk assessment. Conformance with HIPAP 4 is covered in this Section.

1 Introduction
Stolthaven Australia Pty Ltd (Stolthaven) has entered into leases with The Port of Newcastle (PON). The terminal is already operating with diesel and biodiesel products on Lot 2.
Stolthaven is in the construction phase of a purpose‐built bulk liquids berth (Mayfield M7) and in the approval stage for the Stage 3 Development of the shore leases (lots 36 & 37). Stolthaven will own and operate the berth and terminal in accordance with its lease obligations.
The current HAZOP and Risk Assessment covers Stage 3 of the terminal development and is based on the present understanding of committed and forward‐looking customer requirements. The product slate is included as Table 5 Marine & Loading Bay Movements. The HAZOP is based on a conceptual layout for Stage 3 though the final details and staging of construction will depend on firm customer commitments.
Currently, the terminal receives parcels from marine tankers, stores and loads to road tankers both diesel and biodiesel products using Mayfield Berth 4A for marine discharge. The expansion will increase current diesel storage capacity and provide additional storage for unleaded petrol, ethanol and jet fuel. All products will be discharged from the new Mayfield 7 Berth. As the storage quantities likely to be present after the expansion exceed the threshold quantity of Schedule 15 of the Work Health & Safety Regulations 2011 (WHSR 2011), the terminal will be licensed as a Major Hazard Facility.
A HAZOP conducted on 3/4/5 March 2015 was the first phase of a detailed Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) process for the terminal. Previous preliminary process hazard analysis has included both berth and terminal operations (to Stage 2) based on preliminary design. Outcomes of these preliminary studies have been incorporated progressively in the design. The Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) which formed part of the Development Application (DA) was based on Probability Bow‐Ties2 (PBTs) developed using the results of this HAZOP.
A second Stage 3 HAZOP was conducted on 2/3/4 May 2016 covering additional Biodiesel, Additives and Slops tanks, and the further development of the Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) and Drainage System.
A HAZOP is a structured workshop where possible deviations from the intent of the design and proposed operations are postulated, potential causes are identified and current safeguards are recorded. For this HAZOP, Stolthaven assembled an experienced team of bulk liquids terminal designers, project and operations personnel who have had many years of experience in the planning, design, construction and operation of bulk liquids terminals and associated facilities. The workshop was facilitated by the author.
As an integral part of the workshop, a previous HAZID Study (Report 11039) for the preliminary design of the berth and a previous HAZID Study (Report 11043) for the preliminary design of the terminal for Stage 3 were reviewed. The current HAZOP Report therefore represents a consolidation of all previous process hazard analysis studies, and a starting point for the QRA.
The potential consequence(s) of each adverse event was discussed and recorded as well as experienced estimates made for the probability of failure‐on‐demand (PFD) of the safeguards. Requirements for further analysis of consequences and risk were identified.
A semi‐quantitative risk assessment (SQRA) is made using input metrics from the HAZOP participants and authoritative failure rate data. Use of historical failure data alone has the disadvantage that it estimates risk for average facilities under average management – the results of such analysis are of little value for use in driving design and operational parameters. Most accidents involved in ship unloading or export operations are the result of systemic or operational failures. By focussing the HAZOP on potential adverse events caused by failures of safeguards, risk improvements can be made at the conceptual stage and incorporated into inherently safer design and operation.
Following the HAZOP workshop, consequence analysis was prepared for the identified adverse scenarios and risk assessments were prepared. Use was made of PBTs representing the complex interaction of initiating events, preventative and mitigative safeguards as credible chains‐of‐events.
The scope of the HAZOP and Risk Assessment Report covers the design and operation of the wharf topsides and terminal but excludes construction activities.

2 Basis of HAZID and Risk Assessment
2.1 Site location and layout
The Stolthaven Mayfield leases comprise the Mayfield 7 Berth marine lease and on‐shore Lots 1, 2, 36, 37 and 38.
The layout of the Stage 3 Stolthaven Newcastle Terminal development is provided as a preliminary site plan in Appendix A. The layout depicted on the site map below shows the developed site in relation to surrounding land uses.
The site neighbours Koppers site to the north‐west and OneSteel to the west and a Koppers lease and undeveloped port land to the east. The land immediately to the south is undeveloped port land. The closest residential development is approximately 500m from the closest tanks at the south of the developed site. It is intended that the six southern tanks be allocated to combustible products.
Figure 1 Stolthaven Newcastle Terminal – Location Plan
2.2 Products

2.5 Marine Discharge, Export & Load out Movements and Quantities
This HAZOP is based on the berth and terminal operating at throughputs based on client and Stolthaven projections, based on current knowledge. The projections are included as Table 5 Marine & Loading Bay Movements at the end of this Section.
2.6 Operations at the Berth
Marine discharges are directed to the receival tank by manual line up. The storage tank level is monitored during filling from the control room. In addition to continuous attendance at the wharf, terminal personnel walk the wharf line to the receival tank during marine discharge.
2.7 Properties & Hazardous Data of Cargos
Significant properties of the proposed cargoes are provided in Table 6 at the end of this Section. These properties were used in the consequence analysis.
2.8 Meteorological data
In order to establish a representative set of meteorological data for use in this risk assessment, data available from the three weather stations in the vicinity of Mayfield were reviewed to determine the most suitable set for consequence analysis (Nobby’s Point, Newcastle and Williamtown). The Williamtown data had the most complete set of information, including cloud cover, which is necessary to calculate atmospheric stability classes.
Cockshott Consulting Engineers 9 Report No: 11045 Rev 1A for comment: 17 May 2016
Five years data for Williamtown were obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology weather station records. This data set had approximately 90,000 half‐hourly records from January 2005 to December 2009.
These data were analysed to obtain a useful long‐term average data set for consequence analysis and QRA. In particular, cloud data, wind speed, time of day and solar position were used for each record to establish the Pasquill‐Gifford Stability Classes. The data was then aggregated to obtain the average wind speed and temperature for each Stability Class and each of eight points of the compass. The frequency of each Stability Class/Wind Direction pair was also determined. The summary data are provided as Table 3.
As a check on the 2005‐2009 data, the most recent available 5‐yerar data set (2009‐2013) was also analysed and is summarised as Table 4. It was concluded that the 2005‐2009 data set is representative of the long‐term average meteorological data and has been used for the consequence analysis and QRA.
For the purposes of staging for firefighting, FRNSW requires the 90th Percentile wind speeds be used for each wind direction when modelling tank‐top fire scenarios. The 5‐year meteorological data set for Williamtown was analysed to produce the 90th Percentile wind rose provided as Figure 2.
Figure 2 Williamtown Wind Rose (2005‐2009)
FRNSW asked that a further analysis be made to confirm that the 2005‐2009 observations were representative of long‐term average wind velocity 90th percentiles. The last five years Williamtown weather station observations were analysed and the resultant wind rose is presented as Figure 3.

Cockshott Consulting Engineers 10 Report No: 11045 Rev 1A for comment: 17 May 2016
Figure 3 Williamtown Wind Rose (2009‐2013)
The 2009‐2013 wind rose closely resembles the 209‐2013 rose. Whilst there are minor differences in the NW and SW quadrants (7.8 m/s compared with 8.3 m/s in both cases) the roses are essentially the same. It should be noted that wind speeds recorded by the Bureau of Meteorology are not a continuous sequence of integer numbers. As an example, discrete inter speeds of 26, 28 and 30 km/h are recorded (7.2, 7.8 and 8.3 m/s), so that relatively minor variations between two sets of five‐yearly data can change the 90th percentile from one discrete value to the next. It is concluded that the 2005‐2009 data set are representative of the long‐term average 90th percentile wind speeds and these have been used to generate heat radiation contours. The generated contours are not highly dependent on small changes to wind speed. The slightly higher wind speeds in the 2005‐2009 data set for the NE and SE quadrants represent the more conservative choice of data sets.

3 Consequence Impact Criteria
3.1 HIPAP No 4
The NSW Department of Planning has formulated and implemented risk assessment and safety planning processes for potentially hazardous industries. A number of Hazardous Industry Advisory Papers (HIPAPs) have been issued which provide guidelines for potentially hazardous developments and HIPAP No 4 “Risk Criteria for Land Use Safety Planning” (referred to as HIPAP 4 in this document) provides guidelines in terms of risk criteria against which judgements can be made in respect of surrounding land uses.
Stolthaven has its own Safety Management System which will be applied to the Mayfield M7 Wharf and the Stage 3 Development. The SMS includes hazard identification processes and establishes risk criteria primarily for the safety of employees, contractors and third parties involved in its operations. Where the chain of events leading to adverse consequences is not simple, Probability Bow‐Ties are used to assess the likelihood of such scenarios and the risks, which are compared with the established criteria (see Section 3.5).
For the purpose of this risk assessment, the potential impact on people and property outside the Stolthaven lease area is incorporated in the PBTs. These risks are compared with the HIPAP 4 guidelines in Section 11. These have been assessed using both average industry event probabilities and realistic probabilities from the PBTs. The first set of PBTs was prepared for the DPI&E to represent an average design and management and uses historical failure rates. The second (realistic) set takes into account the advanced risk minimisation features incorporated in the actual design and Stolthaven operational procedures.
3.2 HIPAP 4 Risk Criteria – Fatality and Injury Criteria
The Individual Fatality Risk is defined as the risk of fatality to a person at a particular location if continuously present at that point for a whole year.
For the risk assessments in this HAZID, Stolthaven’s normal semi‐quantitative risk assessment is used to determine total risks for each adverse scenario. The risk criteria used for the Stolthaven risk matrix is for the risk of fatality for any individual to be less than one in 100,000,000 working hours, i.e. a Fatal Accident Rate (FAR) of less than one. The basis for the Rapid Risk Matrix is provided in subsection 3.5. Probability Bow‐Ties (PBTs) are used to determine the potential impact on personnel within the facility and those outside the facility.
In order to determine compliance with HIPAP 4, the frequencies calculated in the BPT are applied to the HIPAP 4 criterion at the most exposed location outside of the lease boundary. For Stolthaven internal risk compliance, each scenario is completely represented by the appropriate PBT.
For compliance with HIPAP 4, the frequencies must be added for all PBTs at a particular location.
Table 7 provides a summary of the suggested NSW DP&E individual fatality risk criteria, taken from HIPAP 4.

Cockshott Consulting Engineers 17 Report No: 11045 Rev 1A for comment: 17 May 2016
Individual injury risk criteria are also suggested in HIPAP 4 and are summarised in Table 8. The frequency criteria apply to limit values set to ensure that injury is minimal. Subsections 3.7 & 3.8 present the physical effects on people and property from blast and heat radiation at various exposure levels.

3.3 Acute Exposure Guideline Levels
The United States EPA manages a collaborative effort of the public and private sectors worldwide in the development of Acute Exposure Guidelines (AEGLs) which describe the risk to humans resulting from a once‐per lifetime, or rare exposure to airborne chemicals. This authoritative resource is particularly useful in determining the impact of airborne chemicals in terms of the HIPAP 4 injury and fatality guidelines (Table 7 and Table 8 reproduced above).
AEGLs represent threshold exposure limits for the general public and are applicable to emergency exposure periods ranging from 10 minutes to 8 hours. AEGL‐2 and AEGL‐3, and AEGL‐1 values as appropriate, will be developed for each of five exposure periods (10 and 30 minutes, 1 hour, 4 hours, and 8 hours) and will be distinguished by varying degrees of severity of toxic effects. It is believed that the recommended exposure levels are applicable to the general population including infants and children, and other individuals who may be susceptible.
The three AEGLs have been defined as follows and are compared with the HIPAP 4 definitions:
AEGL‐1 is the airborne concentration, expressed as parts per million or milligrams per cubic meter (ppm or mg/m3) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic nonsensory effects. However, the effects are not disabling and are transient and reversible upon cessation of exposure.
AEGL1 is compared with the HIPAP 4 definition of toxic discomfort effects:
Toxic concentrations in residential and sensitive use areas which would cause irritation to the eyes or throat, coughing or other acute physiological responses in sensitive members of the community.
AEGL‐2 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m3) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience irreversible or other serious, long‐lasting adverse health effects or an impaired ability to escape.
AEGL2 is compared with the HIPAP 4 definition of seriously injurious toxic effects:
Toxic concentrations in residential and sensitive use areas which would be seriously injurious to sensitive members of the community following a relatively short period of exposure.
Cockshott Consulting Engineers 18 Report No: 11045 Rev 1A for comment: 17 May 2016
AEGL‐3 is the airborne concentration (expressed as ppm or mg/m3) of a substance above which it is predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals, could experience life‐threatening health effects or death.
AEGL3 is taken as the exposure level at which a fatality may occur. Airborne concentrations below the AEGL‐1 represent exposure levels that can produce mild and progressively increasing but transient and non‐disabling odour, taste, and sensory irritation or certain asymptomatic, non‐sensory effects. With increasing airborne concentrations above each AEGL, there is a progressive increase in the likelihood of occurrence and the severity of effects described for each corresponding AEGL. Although the AEGL values represent threshold levels for the general public, including susceptible subpopulations, such as infants, children, the elderly, persons with asthma, and those with other illnesses, it is recognized that individuals, subject to unique or idiosyncratic responses, could experience the effects described at concentrations below the corresponding AEGL.
3.4 HIPAP 4 Environmental Impacts
For environmental impacts, HIPAP 4 defines levels of impact as a level descriptor and associated definition, as shown in Table 9.
The descriptors have been incorporated into Stolthaven’s RRR equivalent consequence levels, as defined in the table.
Table 9 Equivalence Table of Environmental Consequences (HIPAP/Stolthaven)
Consequence Type HIPAP
Stolthaven Equivalent Category
Description
Catastrophic Extreme Catastrophe
Irreversible alteration to one or more eco‐systems or several component levels. Effects can be transmitted, can accumulate. Loss of sustainability of most resources. Life cycle of species impaired. No recovery. Area affected 100 km2.
Very serious Catastrophic Alteration to one or more eco‐systems or component levels, but not irreversible. Effects can be transmitted, can accumulate. Loss of sustainability of selected resources. Recovery in 50 years. Area affected 50 km2
Serious Major Alteration/disturbance of a component of an ecosystem. Effects not transmitted, not accumulating or impairment. Loss of resources but sustainability unaffected. Recovery in 10 years.
Moderate Moderate Temporary alteration or disturbance beyond natural variability. Effects confined to <5000 m2, not accumulating or impairment. Loss of resources but sustainability unaffected. Recovery temporarily affected. Recovery < 5 years
Not detectable Minor Alteration or disturbance within natural variability. Effects not transmitted, not accumulating. Resources not impaired
3.5 Stolthaven Risk Criteria
Stolthaven uses a standardised risk method which is based on a target criterion of one fatality per 100 million working hours for the most exposed employee from all potential hazards. In order to apply this risk criterion to the calculated frequencies of fatality resulting from a single adverse event, it is necessary to make assumptions as to the exposure of the individual to that event. The following calculation makes that transformation.
Cockshott Consulting Engineers 19 Report No: 11045 Rev 1A for comment: 17 May 2016
3.5.1 Safety Risks
Take a target FAR3 (Fatal Accident Rate) of 1 for the most exposed individual due to all hazardous events to which the worker is exposed. Fatal accident rate for an individual due to all causes: 1 x 10‐8 ph With approximately 2,000 hours worked per year: The maximum individual risk of fatality due to all causes per year: 20 x 10‐6 pa (i.e. the individual likelihood of a work‐related fatality is 1 in 50,000 years) If we further assume that an operator is exposed to 10 potential hazards from all causes that may result in a fatality, then the: Max individual tolerable risk of fatality due to a single adverse event is: 2.0 x 10‐6 pa Assuming operations are based on 4 shifts, the target for an identified fatal hazard is: Max tolerable risk of fatality due to each single adverse event is: 8 x 10‐6 pa ≈ 10‐5 pa For safety consequence categories other than a fatality, the safety risk targets may be summarised in the following table:
Consequence Target Maximum Frequency
Multiple Fatality or Fatality to a Member of the Public 1 in 1,000,000 years
Fatality to Employee or Contractor 1 in 100,000 years
Extensive (Major Injury) to Employee or Contractor 1 in 10,000 years
Medical Treatment (Moderate Injury) to Employee or Contractor 1 in 1,000 years
First Aid (Minor Injury) to Employee or Contractor 1 in 100 years
Minimal Impact or Discomfort 1 in 10 years
Each of these targets is reflected in the Risk Matrix tables as “Low Risk”.
3.5.2 Environmental, Quality, Commercial and Reputation Risks
Risks to the natural environment, the business and business reputation can also be ranked in a consequence table. Notionally, each consequence level differs by a factor of ten (see Rapid Risk Ranking Tables).
3.5.3 Risk Ranking
The Risk Ranking Matrix provides a means to rapidly rank risks assuming that the consequence and associated likelihood can be assessed. This may involve consideration of the probability of an initiating event, the likelihood of the failure of safeguards and the fractional exposure at an operating position.
The essential feature of the Rapid Risk Ranking matrix is that the frequency scale is based on factors of ten and the consequences level scale is also based on factors of ten.
The Stolthaven RRR Tables and risk matrix are provided on the following page.
3 FAR: Fatal Accident Rate defined as risk of fatality per 100,000,000 working hours. For the UK Chemical Industry, the individual FAR is historically 1.1, compared with Education (0.1), Electrical Engineering (0.4), Agriculture (4), Construction (5), Forestry (8), Sea Fishing (64).

3.6 Probability Bow‐Ties
Stolthaven use BPTs4 to represent the chain of events from an initiation of a hazardous event through safeguards to final outcomes. The PBT incorporates the probabilities of the failure of safeguards to predict the frequency of adverse outcomes.
Whereas the primary purpose of this technique is to meet Stolthaven’s occupational health and safety and environmental guidelines, the predicted frequencies can also be used to determine offsite effect frequencies and can be used as likelihood estimates in QRA.
The advantage of PBTs is that they are transparent, providing a pictorial representation of the hazard and the assigned value of actual safeguards, with all assumptions recorded. They are most useful in operator training and as they are “owned” and maintained by Stolthaven and can readily be updated if data or circumstances change. This is in contrast to traditional QRAs, which are usually produced externally, are not transparent, represent average design and operations based on historical data and are of little value to the terminal or berth operator in risk management following their preparation.

3.9 So Far As is Reasonably Practical
The NSW Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act) and Work Health and Safety Regulation 2011 enshrine a guiding principle that all people are given the highest level of health and safety protection from hazards arising from work, so far as is reasonably practicable.
Stolthaven’s risk assessment methodology seeks to reduce risk below a tolerable target level. This in itself does not necessarily satisfy SFARP principles, which require the assessment of the health and safety benefit of additional controls. An SFARP study will be prepared following completion of the detailed terminal HAZOP.

4 HAZOP Methodology, Workshop Teams and Nodes
The first HAZOP was conducted on 3, 4 & 5 march 2015. A second workshop was conducted on 2, 3 & 4 May 2016.
A HAZOP is a structured workshop where deviations from the intent of the design and proposed operations are postulated, potential causes are identified and current safeguards are recorded. For this HAZOP, Stolthaven assembled an experienced team of bulk liquids terminal designers, project and operations personnel who have had many years of experience in the planning, design, construction and operation of bulk liquids terminals and associated facilities. The workshop team members were:

OHS & Environmental guide phrases
The potential consequence(s) of each adverse event was discussed and recorded as well as experienced estimates made for the probability of failure‐on‐demand (PFD) of the safeguards. Requirements for further analysis of consequences and risk were also identified.
As an integral part of the first workshop, a previous HAZID Study (Report 11039) for the preliminary design of the berth and a previous HAZID Study (Report 11043) for the preliminary design of the terminal for Stage 3 were reviewed.
The HAZOP Report No: 11045 Rev 1 draft therefore represents a consolidation of all previous process hazard analysis studies for the Newcastle Terminal.

Node 1: Marine Discharge of Petrol to Storage Tanks (PFD: 236974‐0000‐DRG‐PFD‐001‐C; P&IDs: 236974‐0000‐DRG‐PID‐101‐B, ‐102‐B & 011‐B [typical tank])
Petrol will be discharged by the ship’s pumps (max 10 Bar), with the ship’s manifold bolted to a spool connected to the carbon steel Marine Loading Arm (MLA). The shore connection of the MLA is permanently bolted to the wharf line. Two MLAs will be installed for diesel fuel and petrol. The wharf line configuration comprises a header connected to both petrol and diesel wharf lines with two 400 mm dia carbon steel petrol lines (and two 400mm carbon steel diesel lines – Node 5). The wharf lines run aboveground and over the walkway & northern access road. This provides continuous visual contact with the wharf line.
Acceptance of a vessel to the berth commences with ship notification, completion of Q88 and acceptance by PANSW and the terminal
Prior to the ship’s arrival, the terminal checks tank & pipeline valving, communications equipment, pipeline and MLA (pressure tests), firefighting equipment, first aid equipment, fittings and adapters, spill control equipment, lifting gear and tank gauging equipment.
On arrival, a discharge plan is agreed between the ship and terminal.
The MLA is connected and a pressure test conducted up to 7 bar with nitrogen to ensure the integrity of the MLA, bolted connections and manifold isolation valves.
Personnel involved in the discharge operation include:
One terminal operator at the wharf manifold
One ship’s crew at the ship’s manifold
One terminal operator as line‐walker
One terminal control room operator
Ship’s officer in the ship’s control room
Third party surveyor
All communication is made by intrinsically safe (IS) hand‐held radio or IS mobile phone.
With the wharf line lined‐up to the receiving tank, the terminal will instruct the ship to start slow pumping. This is to ensure that there is no leakage and that the entry pipe into the receiving tank is covered. When the terminal is ready and the pipeline checked, the ship’s officer will be requested to increase the pump pressure until the maximum discharge rate is achieved. Communications are maintained continuously and pumping is stopped in the event of loss of communication. Ship and shore tank levels are monitored continually and are recorded each hour to confirm rates and estimated time of completion. The terminal will request a reduction of rate towards the end of parcel discharge or on changing shore tanks. If the ship is stripping the cargo tank, the ship will slow down the transfer to empty the tank.
The ship’s manifold and wharf manifold isolating valves are closed on completion of the transfer.
Either pig station can be connected to individual yard lines serving each storage tank:
7 x 300mm yard lines to Tanks 10‐16 (maximum length ~220m);
3 x 350mm yard lines to Tanks 17‐19 (maximum length ~260m).
All petrol ranks are internal floating roof tanks.

The MLA will be cleared by blowing with nitrogen from the ships manifold through to the shore connection.
Nitrogen will be used to pig the line from the wharf pig launcher to the terminal pig receiver.
The wharf line is then depressurised and will rest on nitrogen pending the next discharge. An isolation valve will be provided shore‐side on the petrol lines.
Both petrol and diesel could be discharged at the same time.
During discharge, weather conditions are monitored against PANSW environmental protocols and pumping is stopped and the MLA may be disconnected according to conditions. The PANSW may also require discharge to be stopped for passing ships.
Wharf firefighting equipment will be provided in accordance with ISGOTT and AS3846.
1.1 Marine Discharge to Petrol Tanks MORE
Static electricity ‐ ignition in wharf lines.
Flammable/Explosive materials:
ULP/ PULP.
Residual vapour in wharf line from the berth to the terminal, following discharge and pigging with nitrogen.
Sources of Ignition:
High velocity in wharf and yard lines leading to static generation.
Lightning.
Static generation:
Pipe velocities based on 1500m3/h:
MLA 12” 300mm 5.8 Wharf 400mm: 3.7 m/s Yard 350mm: 6.0 m/s Yard 300mm: 4.8 m/s
For non‐conductive liquids, the following velocity limits should be applied (AS 1020):
400mm: 1.3 m/s 350mm: 1.4 m/s 300mm: 1.5 m/s
Given the use of nitrogen for clearing lines, ignition was considered non‐credible:
Current Risk:
N Cred x Maj = Neg Risk (S)
All wharf and yard piping is electrically earthed and fully contained (no lightning hazard).
Petrol generally has a conductivity >50pS/m and is considered as a conductive liquid.
(API RP2003 data: Petrol 10‐3,000pS/m with a relaxation time of 1.8 to 0.0006 sec).
Stadis will be added at the terminal manifold.
Slow initial pumping rate with ramp‐up and ramp‐down.
Nitrogen will be used for line clearing following discharge, therefore there is no possibility of a flammable mixture in the piping.
No action.
Residual Risk:
N Cred x Maj = Neg Risk (S)

1.2 Marine Discharge to Petrol Tanks MORE Static electricity ‐ ignition in Petrol Tanks.
Flammable/Explosive materials:
ULP/ PULP.
Flammable vapour in the storage tank before the roof is afloat.
Sources of Ignition:
Static generation during discharge.
Potential for ignition of the air/petrol vapour below the internal floating roof when this is landed.
With the inherently high conductivity of ULP/PULP, ignition is extremely unlikely.
With normal procedural controls (particularly on initial fill when the roof is landed) the likelihood is further reduced.
A fire/explosion in a virtually empty IFR tank could cause a fatality to personnel present (though occupancy needs to be taken into account ‐ <10% at tank).
Given the use of nitrogen for clearing lines and precautions taken on initial tank filling, ignition was considered barely credible:
Current Risk:
B Cred x Cat = Low Risk (S)
All storage tanks and internal floating roofs are earthed.
Bottom filling with diffuser.
Procedural control (slow initial filling) to drive air from under the floating roof (NFPA 77 recommendation is <1m/s for low conductivity fluids until the roof is afloat, then no maximum velocity requirement).
Petrol generally has a conductivity >50pS/m and is considered as a conductive liquid.
(API RP2003 data: Gasoline 10‐3,000pS/m with a relaxation time of 1.8 to 0.0006 sec).
Stadis will be added at the terminal manifold.
All customers dose petrol products to increase conductivity.
Proceduralise petrol discharge to ensure that the NFPA77 recommendations are observed with landed floating roof and that the maximum velocity does not exceed 7 m/s.
Residual Risk:
N Cred x Cat = Low Risk (S)
PBT B.10 Risk: Low Risk (S)
1.3 Marine Discharge to Petrol Tanks MORE Heat radiation from a gantry fire.
Fire in southern gantry adjacent to petrol storage tanks.

Hazardous area classification.
Control of ignition sources.
Ensure that the high‐high level switch will operate regardless of any failure of the floating roof. The system should be equivalent to SIL2 (PFD = 1:100). To be reviewed with PBTs.
Residual Risk:
Likelihood 1 in 10,000,000 yr
N Cred x Maj = Neg Risk (S & E)
PBT B.6: 9.7 10‐6 efpa (Low)
1.7 Marine Discharge to Petrol Tanks MORE High pressure ‐ surge
Tank valve slammed shut (ESD).
Ships pumps are stopped.
Manual valves closed.
Emergency release from loading arm coupling.
Potential surge pressures caused by sudden shutoff of downstream (hydraulic hammer) or upstream valve (which results in a pocket of vapour and a reverse surge as it collapses).
Loss of containment of minor quantity of flammable material.
All automated valves will close over a period determined by surge modelling.
Manual valves will take about a minute to fully close.
The design pressure of piping is 19.6bar.
For all Stage 3 tanks:

Node 3: Petrol Loadout (ULP & PULP) (P&IDs: 236974‐0000‐DRG‐PFD‐011‐B, ‐201‐B, ‐202‐B/302‐B & 401‐B)
Tank ND‐10 is taken as the exemplar for this node.
All ULP/PULP will be loaded to the southern 6‐bay gantry(Bays 1 & 2 dedicated for one client; bays 3 & 4 to a second; bays 5 & 6 to be allocated).
Petrol tanks have a low level drawoff and a stripping drawoff from the central sump.
Each tank is provided with a take‐off manifold which will be configured to use a dedicated pump with access to a spare/recirculation pump. The manifolds are designed to accommodate future change of tank allocation, with simple pipe spool changes. The pump bays are roofed.
Thus, for Tank T10 (PUMA), the outlet manifold is connected to the PUMP PULP Pump and the Spare/Recirculation Pump; similarly, Tank T11 & T12 (VIVA) manifolds are connected to the three VIVA pumps and the Spare/Recirculation Pump.
The Tank T10 (PUMA PULP) pump discharge has a dropper in both Bays 1 &2, each connected to a single loading arm in that bay.
One pump is capable of serving three arms (7,500 LPM). Tanker vapours are extracted from the gantry to the Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU). Whereas T10 is connected to only two arms, other tanks can be connected to three or four arms.
The gantry, which will operate 24/7, is roofed, has protective bollards, IR fire detection, UV smoke detection and foam deluge.
3.1 Petrol Loadout NONE No flow to loadout pump.

Ingress of air to the space below the floating roof tank, which will be exhausted to atmosphere when the tank is reprimed.
Fuels manager system (this will change selected tank when the level is at the low set point when manual valves on the switch tank are set).
The system is understood to stop loading, stop the pump and close the tank outlet actuated valve on tank low level.
LAL is interlocked to shut the outlet actuated valve.
a) Contractual arrangements need to reflect that there is a safe low level (before the internal roof is grounded) and product cannot be loaded when the tank is at this level.
b) Concern was expressed about Functional Specification documentation and understanding of what the control system should do and what the system actually does. A review is required to ensure that functional requirements are clearly documented and that the control system meets these requirements.
c) Review the use of low pump motor current as a means of initiating a “stop loading, stop pump and close inlet valve” sequence.
d) Ensure that the tank low level set point is selected so that the floating roof does not ground.

Node 22: Drainage System Option 1 (Gravity Drainage) P&ID 236974‐0000‐DRG‐PID‐0502‐D
Option 1 involves closed gravity drainage (through three systems):
from the flammables and combustibles tank compound sumps;
from an intermediate pit collecting driveway first flush and from the remote impounding basin:
from the additive bund sump, VRU bund sump, pump raft bund sumps and switchroom paving.
Runoff from fire access roads is directed to the outlet pit without treatment.
Three Puraceptors treat the potentially contaminated water, removing free hydrocarbons in the water. Should the level of hydrocarbons in any Puraceptor fill the hydrocarbon chamber, an internal ball valve will prevent water passage to the coalescer chamber and prevent discharge to the outlet pit.
Normal bund management procedures will be employed. Specifically accumulated water is inspected to ensure that there is no evidence of hydrocarbons, before opening the relevant bund valve, which is located within the bund.
22.1 Drainage System Option 1 (Gravity) NONE No flow to Puraceptor
Puraceptor internal valve shuts (due to accumulation of hydrocarbons).
Potentially contaminated water will back up in the drainage system and levels in all bunds being discharged will reach a common level (in each system). There is potential for overflow (e.g. at pump raft or VRU bunds) and potential loss of containment.
Potential soil contamination and EPA action.
Check the potential back‐up levels for a large rainfall event and determine how bund overflow and loss of containment can be prevented by procedural controls.
22.2 Drainage System Option 1 (Gravity) NONE Failure of conductivity probe in Puraceptor.
Instrument failure. Build‐up will normally take a long time before the Puraceptor chamber will need to be emptied of hydrocarbon.
Loss of early warning of hydrocarbon build‐up.
Automatic closure of Puraceptor internal valve when the first chamber fills with hydrocarbon.
Determine if the conductivity transmitter provides a fault signal and determine a maintenance schedule for this instrument.
22.3 Drainage System Option 1 (Gravity) MORE Hydrocarbons in potentially contaminated bund water.
Spillage or leaks in the any bund, including additives bund, pump raft bunds or VRU bund.
Human error during bund water inspection.
Build‐up of hydrocarbons in the first Puraceptor chamber. Eventual closure of valve and discharge to outlet pit prevented. (For further consequences see Note 22.1)
Conductivity detection change (XE/AT in the first Puraceptor chamber).
Automatic closure of Puraceptor internal valve when the first chamber fills with hydrocarbon.
Review bund management procedures to ensure that provision is made to handle contaminated water in the bunds.

23.9 Drainage System Option 2 (Pumpout) OTHER Reduce complexity
Reduce the number of Puraceptors. As all potentially contaminated water flows are pumped, a single Puraceptor could be provided to treat all streams.
All drain lines could be run above ground.
Review the option of providing a single large Puraceptor. This would potentially have the following advantages:
Potentially lower purchase and installation cost compared with three units;
Only one outfall to the creek need be installed;
All piping can run above ground with savings in installation cost and maintenance;
Cut and fill minimised;
Simplification of maintenance activities.
23.10 Drainage System Option 2 (Pumpout) OTHER ESD Action
Bund pumps are operated manually on/off buttons with low sump level automated stop (float valve).
In the event of a hydrocarbon loss of containment, hydrocarbon would be trapped in the Puraceptor until the chamber is filled with hydrocarbon and the internal valve closes.
If multiple bund valves are open for drainage, a point will be reached when the Puraceptor is hydrocarbon‐full and pump drainage will cease from all bunds

The slops tanks receive slops (primarily water with potentially some hydrocarbons) from tank drainage. Tank drainage was HAZOPed previously.
The slops tanks also receive slops from drain‐dry pumps and the gantry tundish.
As both tanks are identical, tank ND30 has been taken as an exemplar. All actions apply to both tanks.
24.1 Slops System (Slops Receival) NONE Reverse flow from pressurised slops header.
Slops header is pressurised. Reverse flow was considered non‐credible. Non‐return valves are provided at each slops pump and after the slops tank manifold valves. Slops pumps are diaphragm type which itself acts as a non‐return valve.
Note that before the HAZOP, it was agreed to provide each manifold valve with a non‐return valve.

NA Terminate spare connections with a blind flange.
24.4 Slops System (Slops Receival) MORE External (bund) fire in biodiesel/additives/ slops bund
The slops tank inlet valve will always be open (unlike product, additives and biodiesel tanks).
Note that the outlet valve will normally be closed.
An external fire could result in inlet piping failure and the release of slops from the Slops Tank into the bund, adding fuel to the fire.
Provision of foam application to the Biodiesel/Additives/Slops bund.
Provide a fire‐safe check valve before the fire‐safe Slops Tank inlet valve.
24.5 Slops System (Slops Receival) MORE High level in slops tank.
The terminal may be unmanned. Slops will continually be added from the gantries.
Potentially to overfill the slops vessel with flammable liquid (the top phase) spraying from the PRV (or PVV).
With an unmanned facility, it was considered that an overfill event could occur once per year. This might lead to a flammable vapour cloud an ignition (ignition assumes as a 1/10 chance.
Current Risk:
Likelihood: 1/yr x 0.1 = 1/10 year (Moderate)

Node 1: Marine Discharge of Petrol to Storage Tanks (PFD: 236974‐0000‐DRG‐PFD‐001‐C; P&IDs: 236974‐0000‐DRG‐PID‐101‐B, ‐102‐B & 011‐B [typical tank])
Petrol will be discharged by the ship’s pumps (max 10 Bar), with the ship’s manifold bolted to a spool connected to the carbon steel Marine Loading Arm (MLA). The shore connection of the MLA is permanently bolted to the wharf line. Two MLAs will be installed for diesel fuel and petrol. The wharf line configuration comprises a header connected to both petrol and diesel wharf lines with two 400 mm dia carbon steel petrol lines (and two 400mm carbon steel diesel lines – Node 5). The wharf lines run aboveground and over the walkway & northern access road. This provides continuous visual contact with the wharf line.
Acceptance of a vessel to the berth commences with ship notification, completion of Q88 and acceptance by PANSW and the terminal
Prior to the ship’s arrival, the terminal checks tank & pipeline valving, communications equipment, pipeline and MLA pressure tests, fire fighting equipment, first aid equipment, fittings and adapters, spill control equipment, lifting gear and tank gauging equipment.
On arrival, a discharge plan is agreed between the ship and terminal.
The MLA is connected and a pressure test conducted up to 7 bar with nitrogen to ensure the integrity of the MLA, bolted connections and manifold isolation valves.
Personnel involved in the discharge operation include:
One terminal operator at the wharf manifold
One ship’s crew at the ship’s manifold
One terminal operator as line‐walker
One terminal control room operator
Ship’s officer in the ship’s control room
Third party surveyor
All communication is made by intrinsically safe (IS) hand‐held radio or IS mobile phone.
With the wharf line lined‐up to the receiving tank, the terminal will instruct the ship to start slow pumping. This is to ensure that there is no leakage and that the entry pipe into the receiving tank is covered. When the terminal is ready and the pipeline checked, the ship’s officer will be requested to increase the pump pressure until the maximum discharge rate is achieved. Communications are maintained continuously and pumping is stopped in the event of loss of communication. Ship and shore tank levels are monitored continually and are recorded each hour to confirm rates and estimated time of completion. The terminal will request a reduction of rate towards the end of parcel discharge or on changing shore tanks. If the ship is stripping the cargo tank, the ship will slow down the transfer to empty the tank.
The ship’s manifold and wharf manifold isolating valves are closed on completion of the transfer.
Either pig station can be connected to individual yard lines serving each storage tank:
x 300mm yard lines to Tanks 10‐16 (maximum length ~220m);
3 x 350mm yard lines to Tanks 17‐19 (maximum length ~260m).
All petrol ranks are internal floating roof tanks.

8 Model Parameters
Three inputs factors are important in modelling pool fires: the burning rate, the fraction of heat radiated and the soot fraction. Recent data (ca. 2000) has become available for experiments conducted on large pool fires, in the range of the Mayfield tank diameters – in particular, NRIFD5 and NISTIR 65466.Much of the experimental data prior to 2000 was based on relatively small pool fires (~1m diameter and less). The pool burning rate was taken from the following references:
NRIFD7 (Figure 1)
NRIFD (Figure 11)
NISTIR 65468 (Table 1)
The fraction of heat radiated for diesel fuel was taken from:
NISTIR 6546 (Figure 3)
NRIFD (Figure 2)
The soot fraction was taken from the TNO Yellow Book9. Table 12 summarises the burning rates derived from various sources. At large pool diameters (>5m), the burning rate for hydrocarbon products is virtually independent of both diameter and product in terms of linear burning rate (mm/min). The differences in Table 12 reflect the SG of the product. The values by NISTR6546 and the Yellow Book are tabulated values for large pool fires.

There are no recent data which update previous assumptions of soot fraction (See Steinhaus10). Steinhaus confirms the value of 80%. This value is likely to be conservative for large pool fires, as soot level increases for large fires which have a lower luminous layer and an upper optically

9 Consequence Analysis
This section provides the results of consequence analysis performed both for external adverse scenarios which may impact on the Stolthaven Newcastle Terminal and events which may be initiated by terminal operations.
9.1 Ammonium Nitrate Explosion
Ammonium nitrate (AN) will not be stored at the M7 berth. However, AN is manufactured and stored at the Orica Australia Pty Ltd plant on Kooragang Island at the entrance to the Mayfield arm of the port. Current production of the AN facility is 500 ktpa and a proposal will increase this to 750 ktpa11.
A preliminary Hazard Analysis was conducted for Orica Mining Services for a proposed expansion increase in quantities in May 200912. This PHA presented overpressure injury contours (7 kPa) of 50 x 10‐6 per annum (entirely within the new project boundary) and overpressure fatality contours (14 kPa) of 50 x 10‐6 per annum which extended into the neighbouring industrial facilities zoned for potentially hazardous development).
These reports relate to the expansion project only and not the current AN manufacturing operation. The risk contours are also insufficient to determine possible impacts to operations on M7 berth operations.
It was therefore necessary to model potential ammonium nitrate explosions at the K2 berth and the Orica manufacturing facility to determine potential explosion overpressure effects at M7. The TNO13 Effects 9.0.22 Equivalent TNT model was used for explosion modelling. Neither of the reports quoted above indicate the quantity of AN used in the consultant’s explosion risk assessment. For the purpose of determining potential effects at M7, it was assumed that a cargo vessel carrying 3,000 tonnes or a storage of 5,000 tonnes at the manufacturing facility is involved in an explosion. The basis for these assumptions comes from Orica statements regarding marine vessel warehousing of ammonium nitrate14 and the on‐site storage quantity of 15,500 tonnes of bulk and 2,500 tonnes of bagged product reported in the Preliminary Hazard Analysis2.
In developing these worst case scenarios, a measure of the equivalent explosive power to TNT is used. For the Orica Preliminary Hazard Analysis2 above, the overall TNT Equivalency Values used for explosion overpressures were 20% for bags, 15% for bulk in bays and 10% for bulk in free stockpiles; 32% was used for projectile estimation.
Other sources use higher values:
The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Ammonium Nitrate Guidance Note No 4 uses a TNT Equivalency Value of 32% for loosely stacked ammonium nitrate in determining separation distances.
The Western Australia Department of Mines and Petroleum takes the TNT equivalence as 25%, sourced from “Safety Testing of Ammonium Nitrate Products”15.
The Queensland Government has adopted a TNT equivalence of 32%16.
The explosion overpressure contours for this risk assessment have been developed using a TNT equivalence of 32%, representing the most conservative view adopted by Australian Governments.

The overpressure contours resulting from an explosion of a cargo of 3,000 tonnes of ammonium nitrate centred at K2 berth are shown in Figure 4. A similar plot is provided for an explosion of 5,000 tonnes of AN at the manufacturing facility (Figure 5).

The Mayfield M7 berth is just within the 7 kPa peak overpressure contour (for both the 3,000 tonne cargo explosion for the 5,000 tonne storage explosion on Kooragang Island.
This represents an area where no fatalities expected, the probability of injury is 10% from glass fragments (but there are no buildings containing glass at the berth), personnel may be knocked down, with repairable damage to buildings and damage to the facades of dwellings
The impact on the M4 berth operations is therefore considered slight.
Figure 6 Ammonium Nitrate Explosion Mayfield M4 Berth
Ammonium nitrate is discharged in 1,000 kg FIBCs and eight FIBCs may be unloaded by crane as a single load. No other operations will be conducted at the berth during unloading so that the probability of contamination (with combustible products) and ignition by external fire scenarios is low.
The Mayfield M7 berth is well outside the lowest overpressure contour of 3 kPa for an 8‐tonne ammonium nitrate explosion at M4. No damage or injury is anticipated at M4. Impact at M7 is considered negligible.
9.2 Validation of TNT Equivalency Assumption
In order to validate the assumed 32% TNT equivalence, the calculated effects of an explosion of ammonium nitrate were compared with pictures of actual damage for the recent West Fertiliser Company retail facility in West, Texas. The assumed quantity stored was 240 tonnes, as filed with the EPA in 2011. The assumed centre of the explosion is the white storage shed in the middle of the site.
The explosion overpressures contours match well with the actual building damage suffered. In particular, a row of houses (180 m from the centre of the explosion) was completely destroyed and the nursing home behind the row of houses (at 250m) collapsed.
The 35‐80 kPa zone in Figure 7 represents “Probable total destruction of all buildings” according to the effects descriptions provided in Section 3.8. The 32% TNT equivalency assumption predicts physical effects similar to those actually experienced in the explosion.

9.3 Coal Carrier Fire
A marine coal carrier fire was simulated as a liquid benzene fire with a pool size of 785 m2 (i.e. a hatch of 28 x 28 m above a cargo hold. The fraction of heat radiated was taken as 0.8 and the soot fraction as 0.8. Neither the lowest heat radiation contour (1.6 kW/m2) nor the 1% First Degree Burns contour reached mid‐channel.
It is concluded that a coal carrier fire would have insignificant input on M7 operations.

9.5 Wharf Spill Resulting in a Flash Fire
The ignition of a flammable cloud from a major petrol spill at the wharf was simulated using n‐pentane as a representative pure chemical. A concentration of 1.3% (100% of LEL) was used to estimate the extent of a flammable vapour cloud resulting from a major gasoline spill at the wharf. Under the most adverse conditions (atmospheric Stability Class F), a flammable cloud will be within to the site boundary shoreside but is calculated to extend into the channel (shown by the LEL footprints for eight wind directions in Figure 13). In practice, the flammable vapour cloud will be disrupted by the presence of the berthed vessel and the extent of a flammable cloud of overwater will be reduced from that depicted.
For Stability Class A, the footprint is much smaller (shown by the blue contour line in Figure 13). No LEL contour is predicted for other stability classes.
Figure 13 Extent of Flammable Cloud from a Wharf Petrol Spill
For an ethanol spill, a flammable cloud is not predicted beyond the wharf working (spill containment) area.
For Jet Fuel and Diesel, no flammable cloud results from a wharf spill.
9.6 Terminal Tank Fires
The flammables storage tanks are located on Lot 36, the central portion of the site to be developed for Stage 3.
Figure 14 depicts the impact of tank top fires for flammable liquids tanks located on Lot 36. The 4.7 kW/m2 footprints are shown for selected wind directions to provide an appreciation of impacts outside of the bunds.

Figure 14 Tank Top Fires, Flammable Tanks, Lot 36 (4.7 kW/m2 at 1.5m receptor)
It can be seen that for tanks on the western part of Lot 36, and with a wind from an easterly direction, the 1.5m 4.7 kW/m2 heat radiation impact of tank top fires on personnel extends as far as the line of trees to the west of Lot 36 but not as far as the railway line or the roadway.
9.7 Tank Loss of Containment
In the event of loss of containment from a petrol or ethanol storage tank, a flammable liquid pool will formed in the bund and this will evaporate to create a flammable cloud. The surface area of the pool, which determines the total evaporation rate, will depend on the volume of the spill.
Within the main bunds, low compound walls provide for containment of moderate spills within the smaller compound bunding. For moderate spills (e.g. up to about 10‐15 minutes overfilling during marine discharge) the liquid pool will be contained within the associated compound bund.
For large spills (e.g. total tank failure) the entire bund (consisting of several compounds) will be filled.
9.7.1 Tank Loss of Containment (Moderate)
In the case of a moderate sized spill (one that is contained in the compound bund) the evaporation rate will be limited to the net area of the tank’s compound.
Figure 15 shows a typical moderate loss of containment scenario (for Tank ND13, petrol) representing the boundary of a flammable vapour cloud at 1.5m for a contained compound petrol spill, for Class F Stability atmospheric conditions and easterly wind. A flammable vapour cloud outside the compound bund is not predicted for other meteorological conditions.
In the event of ignition, a flash fire will occur back to the pool and a fatality will occur to any people within the within the LEL footprint.

Cockshott Consulting Engineers 136 Report 11045 Rev 1A for comment: 17 May 2016
9.7.2 Tank Loss of Containment (Large)
In the event of a large loss of containment (a major tank rupture or extended overfill event), a spill will not be contained within the tank compound walls but will cover the entire bund. For instance, if the entire contents of tank CD13 were released, the evaporating pool would cover the full CD13/14/15/16/25/26 bund (the “Mid” bund). The larger liquid surface area (compared with a compound spill) results in flammable cloud of significant dimensions under Stability F wind conditions, which comprise 15% of all observations.
The brown outline of Figure 17 represents the extent of the flammable vapour cloud for an easterly wind under F1.9 conditions (Stability Class F, 1.8 m/s). In the case of ignition, a flash fire (or VCE) will occur. For the case of flash fire, the contour represents an area of 100% chance of fatality for all people exposed outside buildings.
A necessary requirement for a vapour cloud explosion is that the flammable gas cloud must be confined. This means that closely spaced equipment, building or trees need to be present so that the deflagration associated with a flash fire develops into a detonation.
The circular contours represent the extent of explosion overpressure events resulting from ignition of the flammable vapour cloud.
Legend for explosion overpressure contours:
7 kPa No fatalities; 10% chance of minor injury;
Repairable building damage.
14 kPa No fatalities; 20% chance of moderate injury;
Failure to block walls & self‐framing panel buildings;
Serious damage to steel‐framed buildings.
21 kPa 20% chance of fatalities (persons within buildings); 2% chance of serious injury (eardrums & flying objects);
Heavy damage to buildings and process equipment;
Failure of oil storage tanks.

Cockshott Consulting Engineers 137 Report 11045 Rev 1A for comment: 17 May 2016
The extent of the flash fire resulting from a large bund spill will also depend on the time before ignition. Figure 18 shows the development of a full bund spill 3 minutes after the spill is fully developed. The brown and red areas show the extent of the flammable cloud at that time.
The heat radiation contours for a full bund fire are shown for CD13 in Figure 19.

10 Frequency Analysis
10.1 MLA Failure Rates
Recent Hazard Analyses for ports in NSW have considered the frequency of marine loading arm failures. For the preliminary hazard analysis17 for the Port Botany Bulk Liquids Berth No 2 (by others), the failure frequency was estimated by considering the MLA as a 300mm pipeline of 300 mm diameter and a length of approximately 30m.
Applying the failure frequency of 5.8 x 10‐8 pa to this length of pipe resulted in an MLA failure frequency of 1.7 x 10‐6 pa. Assuming that each MLA is used 100 times a year, this equates to a failure rate of 1.7 x 10‐8 per operation. This failure rate is much lower than that reported in the literature.
We have reviewed authoritative sources and these report similar orders of magnitude.
Table 14 presents the frequencies for oil release related to loading of product tankers from marine loading arms, from a study performed by DNV for the UK HSE in 1990.

F Overfilling of cargo tank 1.2 x 10‐4 0.8 0.19 0.01

The shutdown times are assumed to be 2 minutes for a major leak (0‐60 sec for detection and 0‐60 sec for shutdown).
Table 15 presents the TNO Purple Book data. No duration information is provided.

The UK HSE published failure rates for marine loading arms18 in 2012 and presents two tables (reproduced
here as Table 16 & Table 17). The tables are for liquefied gases and liquid cargoes respectively. The significant difference between the two tables is that liquefied gas unloading arms are assumed to have emergency release couplings (ERC) designed to achieve a quick release with minimum of spillage.

Stolthaven intends to incorporate ERCs on its two loading arms. Therefore, the tables need to be combined to represent Stolthaven’s proposed MLA configuration.
The combined tabulation is presented as Table 18.
The UK HSE release frequencies have been used in the preparation of Probability Bow‐Ties19 to assess risk.
10.2 Chemical Hoses
Chemical hoses are used for the discharge and loading of all anticipated products except gasoline and diesel. For chemical hoses, the same mooring and passing ship failure rates were used even though hose strings are more flexible than MLAs. Hose strings are modelled as three flange connections and two hose lengths. Normal failure rates20 are assumed for the flanges, even though these are proof tested for every discharge.
There is a paucity of failure rate data for chemical hoses in the literature. One reference21 gives the major rupture failure rate of marine hoses as 4 x 10‐3 per operation. This is attributed to a DNV report, which references the source22. However, referencing this original source, it is clear that the failure rate is applicable only to lightering operations (i.e. ship‐to‐ship transfers) and that hose failures are “secondary” failures – probably the result of ship‐to‐ship movement. Reviewing this data for failures (15 accidents in 4,391 offshore transfer operations, with 10% attributable to hose failure as a secondary cause and an average spill of 400L), it can be concluded that the failure rate of hoses was 3 x 10‐3 per operation.

Cockshott Consulting Engineers 142 Report 11045 Rev 1A for comment: 17 May 2016
However, none of these failures resulted in a full bore rupture and none were the primary cause. The Ronza et al data may therefore be taken as an overestimate of the risk of full‐bore hose failure.
We have reviewed anecdotal evidence to establish a realistic hose failure rate. Considering Coode Island, there have be no major releases at Stolthaven since the terminal opened 10 years ago (approximately 300 operations). There has been no known major release for the adjacent terminal over the last 20 years (approximately 60 operations per year). Thus, the known failure rate has been less than 1 in 1,500 operations.
An engineering contractor23 with vast experience in marine transfers was consulted. He was aware of three instances of (minor) failure in 9,000 hose operations. There were no instances of major failure and each related to wire‐bound hoses. Stolthaven has witnessed one (minor) failure in 300 operations which was detected during normal pre‐discharge procedures. This was related to a wire‐bound hose. Stolthaven has elected to change to swaged hoses at Coode Island and has experienced no failures with these more robust fittings.
Swaged hoses will be used at Mayfield. For the purposes of risk assessment, a full‐bore hose failure rate of 1 in 10,000 operations (per hose) has been used.

11 Risk Assessment
Based on the hazard identification in Section Error! Reference source not found., the consequence analyses covered in Section 8 and the frequency analysis in Section 10, this Section covers risk assessments which have been completed for the following scenarios:
Ammonium Nitrate Explosion
External Fire (Stolthaven terminal)
Gasoline Discharge LOC
Diesel Discharge LOC
Jet Fuel Discharge
Alcohol Discharge LOC
Where necessary, the risk assessments have included the preparation of a Probability Bow‐Tie. These are included at Appendix B:

Each table has a right‐hand side (RHS) and a left‐hand side (LHS) The RHS PBT leads from initiating events through preventative safeguards to a “top event”. The RHS PBT takes this top event through mitigative safeguards to final outcomes.
11.1 Ammonium Nitrate Explosion (AN Facility or K2 Berth)
The consequence analysis showed that there would be a slight impact on personnel in the event of an ammonium nitrate explosion at the Kooragang ammonium nitrate facility or K2 berth and insignificant impact for an ammonium nitrate explosion at M4. There is no specific data for the likelihood of an explosion at the Kooragang facility or K2 Berth. For the purpose of this risk assessment, it is assumed to be rare (i.e. 1 in 1,000 years). On this basis scenarios and using the Stolthaven RRR matrix it was concluded that the risk is negligible:
Rare x Min = Low Risk
11.2 External Fire (Bulk Coal Carrier)
The effect of external fires from a Bulk Coal Carrier fire fuels and flammable chemicals at the Stolthaven Mayfield Terminal was reviewed (Sections 9.3).
The 4.7 kW/m2 heat radiation contour for a simulated Bulk Coal Carrier fire does not reach the centre of the channel. There is no impact on the berth assets or operations.
The 4.7 kW/m2 heat radiation contour for a gasoline storage tank‐top fire just impinges on the M7 wharf area. For flammable chemical and foodstuff fires, the 4.7 kW/m2 contour did not reach the wharf. Personnel on the wharf during transfer operations wear personal protective clothing, including safety glasses, helmets, gloves, safety boots and full arm and leg covering, and could quickly leave the wharf without injury.
The terminal will incorporate cooling water protection for all tanks potentially exposed to a flammable tank fire. Additionally, tanks containing flammable liquids will have fixed foam applicators and firefighting water hydrants to extinguish a tank‐top fire. The likelihood of a tank‐top fire will be determined during the terminal QRA. Though this is expected to be approximately 1 x 10‐6 per year, for the purposes of the current exercise, a likelihood of 1 x 10‐5 has been assumed.
It was concluded that the risk is negligible (using the Stolthaven RRR Matrix):
E Rare x Insig = Neg Risk (Safety)
There is no knock‐on effect at the wharf and no impact off‐site.
11.3 Bulk Fuels Wharf and Terminal Operations
All scenarios considered in the HAZOP have been taken into account in constructing the PBTs (See Appendix B). The PHA has confirmed that all offsite risks meet the criteria of HIPAP 4.
The aggregation of all risks has been made in the QRA and reported as individual fatality risk contours and individual injury risk contours.

Appendix C Heat Radiation Exposure
Consequences of Heat Radiation
The table below is reproduced from the New South Wales Hazardous Industry Planning Advisory Paper No 2: Fire Safety Study Guidelines, Appendix 8 and presents the potential consequences of thermal radiation exposure for use in the preparation of Fire Safety Studies and Risk Assessments. Radiant Heat Exposure Impairment Criteria
Radiation Intensity (kW/m2) Effect
1.2 Received from the sun at noon in summer
2.1 Minimum to cause pain in one minute
4.7 Will cause pain in 15 – 20 seconds and injury after 30 seconds exposure (likely second degree burn injury)
12.6
Significant chance of fatality for long exposure. High chance of injury Causes the temperature of wood to rise to a temperature where it will be ignited with a naked flame after long exposure Thin steel with insulation on the side away from the fire may reach a thermal stress level high enough to cause structural failure
23
Likely fatality for extended exposure and chance of fatality for instantaneous exposure Spontaneous ignition of wood after long exposure Unprotected steel will reach thermal stress causing failure Pressure vessels will need to be relieved or failure will occur
35 Cellulose material will pilot ignite with one minute exposure Significant chance of fatality if people are exposed instantaneously
Heat Radiation Effect on Human Skin
The table below is reproduced from API 521 Section 5.7.2.3.1 “Effect on Human Skin” and gives the exposure time necessary to reach the pain threshold as a function of radiation intensity. It is important to note that the data was derived from tests given to people who were radiated on the forearm (ie bare skin exposure) at room temperature.
Radiation Intensity (kW/m2) Time to Pain Threshold (seconds)
1.74 60
2.33 40
2.90 30
4.73 16
6.94 9
9.46 6
11.67 4
19.87 2 Recommended Deign Thermal Radiation for Personnel
The table below is reproduced from API 521 Section 5.7.2.3.1 “Effect on Human Skin” and presents the recommended design radiation levels for personnel at grade or on adjacent platforms. The extent and use of personal protective equipment can be considered as a practical way of extending the times of exposure beyond those listed Note that Appropriate clothing consists of hard hat, long-sleeved shirts with cuffs buttoned, work gloves, long-legged pants, and work shoes. Appropriate clothing minimizes direct skin exposure to thermal radiation.
Radiation Intensity (kW/m2)
Conditions
9.46 Maximum radiant heat intensity at any location where urgent emergency action by personnel is required. When personnel enter or work in an area with the potential for radiant heat intensity greater than 6.31 kW/m2, radiation shielding and/or special protective apparel (e.g. a fire approach suit) should be considered. Safety Precaution—It is important to recognize that personnel with appropriate clothing cannot tolerate thermal radiation at 9.46 kW/m2 for more than a few seconds.
6.31 Maximum radiant heat intensity in areas where emergency actions lasting up to 30 s can be required by personnel without shielding but with appropriate clothing.
4.73 Maximum radiant heat intensity in areas where emergency actions lasting 2 min to 3 min can be required by personnel without shielding but with appropriate clothing.
1.58 Maximum radiant heat intensity at any location where personnel with appropriate clothing a can be continuously exposed.
