 Ecological Protection Measures and Expected Effect
The project belongs to new project. There are no environmental sensitive areas such as rare
species and natural reserves in the site. So, the biodiversity is not influenced. After the project is
completed and used, greening of local conditions of surrounding factories, two sides of road and
factory boundary may play a certain role in compensating surrounding ecological environment of
the factory. For the whole evaluation area, there is less ecological environmental impact arising
from construction and operation of the project.

Mitigation Measures
Environmental Safety Risk Identification
According to the Identification of Major Hazard Installations , it can be seen that the main
dangerous substances in this project are car oil , natural gas fuel gas, all of which are flammable
substances. Their main components are methane, basically non-toxic to humans; but when the
concentration is too high, the oxygen content in the air will reduce significantly and make people
suffocate. When the methane concentration reaches 25%~30% in the air, it may cause headache,
fatigue, accelerated respiration and rapid heartbeat. If people do not escape from the environment
immediately, people may suffocate and die. The natural gas is flammable and may form explosive
mixture with air, and has the danger of combustion explosion when contacting with heat and open
fire. After the natural gas leaks, it diffuses into the air and mixes with the air to form an air mass.
When the concentration of the air mass reaches the explosion limit, a steam cloud explosion occurs
in the open flame. The heavier gas than the air easily stays in the low-lying areas such as the earth's
surface and the ditch, and causes fire or explosion at unexpected areas in case of open fire.

Identify major hazards according to the Identification of Major Hazard Installations for
Dangerous Chemicals (GB18218-2009) and see Table 11 for the identification results.

According to the analysis in Table 13, it can be seen that the gas storage units in this project
constitute a major hazard source.

5.2 Risk Source Analysis

Under normal working conditions of the natural gas station, there is no exhaust emission; if the
valve or switch of the gas storage tank is not well controlled, it may cause leakage accident. Due to
the high pressure state in the tank, the gas may leak quickly and may cause fire or explosion
accidents in case of open fire. The probability of such fire and explosion accidents is less than 1×10 -
6
and belongs to the type of risk accident rarely happens; the gas in the compressor piping is high-
pressure gas. If the switch of the compressor is not well controlled, it may easily cause leakage
accident or even explosion accidents in case of open fire; however, if the switch is well controlled,
small amount of gas leaked may not cause explosion accident. Also, the gas may leaks in the
process of pipeline transportation due to pipeline breaking; but the pipeline pressure is small, it may
not easily cause explosion and other accidents if found and controlled in time and if the amount is
small. Based on a comprehensive analysis, it is determined that the maximum credible accident of
environmental risks in the project is a fire and explosion accident of compressed gas.

5.3 Environmental Impact Analysis of Risk Accident

Deflagration (that is, burning and explosion) is the most important accident in the natural gas
station, and gas leakage is the main reason of explosion and combustion of the natural gas station.
The main hazards of fire explosion of gas leakage are mainly the shock wave and other
consequences caused by the heat radiation and explosion caused by the fireball. During the fire
hazards, it affects the surrounding environment through radiation; if the radiation is large enough, it
may lead to combustion of other flammable objects. The sudden release of energy during the
explosion causes a destructive shock wave to the atmosphere, which had a great impact on the
environment.

The gas leakage accident may cause the following impacts:

① In case of gas leakage of the project, when the methane content in the air reaches
25%~30%, it may cause discomfort of human or even death from hypoxia and asphyxia.
② When the gas concentration reaches the explosion limit, it may explore in case of heat
source or open fire and the heat radiation of jet flame may cause burns or death. Fire and explosion
may cause buildings and equipment to collapse and scatter, causing further expansion of the fire.
Flames spread very fast and the fire is more difficult to control.
③ The immediate impact of the accident is to cause casualties, property damage and, in

7
addition, a more serious impact on the regional environment. For leakage of natural gas, the
hydrogen sulfide gas enters directly into the atmosphere, resulting in atmospheric pollution. In the
event of an explosion or a fire, the combustion of dust and particulates will adversely affect the
atmospheric environment in the area, resulting in a decrease in the ambient air quality in the area
and difficult recovery in a short period of time. After the accident, the destruction of natural gas
station will obviously damage the environment of the area. After the fire accident, the waste water
from fire extinguishing will have an impact on surface water and groundwater.

Environmental Risk Precautionary Measures and Contingency Plan

Although there is a risk of gas leakage and fire and explosion accidents, the project is designed
and constructed in strict accordance with the relevant design specifications, and risk prevention and
control are strengthened. It has established emergency response measures and plans for accident
risks, so as to minimize the risk occurrence probability and its damage. After taking various safety
measures, the risk of fire and explosion in storage tanks and gas filling areas will be reduced to a
lesser extent. In order to prevent and reduce the risk of accidents, this EIA proposes accident
prevention measures from all aspects. The content mainly refers to the main countermeasures,
suggestions and conclusions of the safety evaluation report.

(1) The power supply transformer of the project should meet the load requirements, and should
be installed at proper locations according to the standards.
(2) The information system of the gas filling station should be equipped with wiring for steel

pipe. The wiring protects the two ends of steel pipe by grounding.
(3) Over-voltage (surge) protectors should be set at the head and end of wiring of information
system as well as the connection of electronic devices.
(4) TN-S system is adopted as the power supply and distribution system. The two ends of metal
protection tubes of cables of power supply system are grounded, and over-voltage (surge) protectors
are arranged at the power supply end of the power distribution system.
(5) The locations and quantity of probes of combustible gas alarms should be set at the height
of no less than 2m to cover the scope of protection. The alarm value (high limit) of combustible gas
detector should be set to be less than or equal to 25% of the lower limit of concentration of
combustible gas for explosion.
