health and safety in hydrogen steam reforming process

Furthermore , external impact can be avoided by the accurate designing of filling hose , which may result in the adverse results . In addition , it should be taken into consideration that rupture valves should be checked on a regular basis . It should be noted that a warning system in case of any exposure should be evaluated by the production facilities at regular intervals . All these steps and measures can result in the reduction and elimination of hazards and risks that are associated with the production of hydrogen with the utilization of methane compound p

During the production of hydrogen with the utilization of methane steam formation , the experiments have shown that when the storage tank is filled with methane , toxic heavy gas is exposed in the surroundings due to leak in the filling hose of methane compound . This leakage does not occur every time , but it poses great hazards for the employees working in this processing unit . It has been observed that employees working around these installations often end up in adverse health , and awful death in extreme cases . In this regard , some of the measures that can be taken for avoiding this hazard during the compound filling from the truck are that pressurized methane compound should be avoided at the time of its transportation , and refrigerated liquefied compound should be used that may poses less risk of any toxic exposure in the surroundings (Vincoli , pp . 44-47 , 1997

Sometimes , faults of valves or humans effects the ruptures in the pipe due to the pressure explosion during the production . Such effects results in the damages of equipments , as well as , workers that are employed in the surroundings . In this regard , appropriate material should be selected for the manufacturing of production plant , which may reduce the risks . Secondly , designing of the steam and cooler should...
