The transportation and storage of potentially hazardous fluids occurs in nearly all industrial processingfacilities. Loss of primary containment (LOPC) is a risk associated with each processing step that can bereduced through proper engineering and management practices, but that cannot be eliminated completely. Toquantify the risk posed by a certain processing step, it is important to be able to accurately predict the quantityof hazardous fluids that would be released as well as their fate in the environment if a loss of containment wereto occur. Prosaris Consulting Ltd. is a Nova Scotia based consulting company that specializes in thedevelopment of loss prevention and risk management programs in the process industries, and in helping theseindustries promote and maintain a robust process safety culture. Currently, Prosaris is developing a softwaretool that will make the assessment of risks posed by LOPC more efficient. This software tool will provide thecritical link between the known process/plant layout, operating conditions, LOPC scenarios, and key processsafety metrics/indicators. One key component of this software will be its ability to quantify the release rates ofhazardous fluids during an LOPC event.The goal of this research project is to develop a validated modeling methodology and simulation environmentthat can be used to quantify release rates and quantities during LOPC scenarios. The modeling methodologywill be developed using currently available best practices and state-of-the-art methods, with specificmodifications for the application. The methodology will then be integrated into a simulation environment andvalidated through comparison with experimental release data. By partnering with Dalhousie University,Prosaris will be able to take advantage of the available expertise in process modeling and fluid dynamicssimulation. This will result in the generation of new knowledge in advanced modeling and simulation methods,the transfer of expertise to the private sector, the training of highly qualified personnel, and the development ofa technology with commercialization potential.

几乎所有的工业加工设施都存在潜在危险流体的运输和储存。一级密封损失（LOPC）是与每个处理步骤相关的风险，可以通过适当的工程和管理实践来降低，但不能完全消除。为了量化某个处理步骤所带来的风险，重要的是能够准确预测将释放的危险流体的数量以及如果发生泄漏，它们在环境中的命运。Prosaris Consulting Ltd.是一家位于新斯科舍省的咨询公司，专门从事过程工业中损失预防和风险管理项目的开发，并帮助这些行业促进和维护强大的过程安全文化。目前，Prosaris正在开发一种软件工具，可以更有效地评估LOPC带来的风险。该软件工具将提供已知工艺/工厂布局、操作条件、LOPC情景和关键工艺安全度量/指标之间的关键联系。该软件的一个关键组成部分将是其能够量化的释放率ofhazardous流体在LOPC事件。本研究项目的目标是开发一个验证的建模方法和模拟环境，可用于量化的释放率和数量在LOPC的情况下。建模方法将使用当前可用的最佳实践和最先进的方法开发，并针对应用程序进行特定修改。该方法将被集成到一个模拟环境中，并通过与实验释放数据的比较进行验证。通过与达尔豪西大学合作，Prosaris将能够利用过程建模和流体动力学模拟方面的专业知识。这将导致在先进的建模和模拟方法的新知识的产生，专业知识转移到私营部门，高素质的人才的培训，并开发ofa具有商业化潜力的技术。
