Emergency Operation Procedure for HSD Leakage in a Coal Power Plant
1. Initial Response
I.Detection and Notification:
1. Immediately report any suspected HSD leakage to the control room and the plant
manager.
2. Activate the plant’s emergency alarm system to alert all personnel.

II.Assessment:
1. Conduct a quick assessment to determine the source and extent of the leak, if it is
safe to do so.
2. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) suitable for handling hazardous materials.

2. Containment
I.Isolate the Area:
1. Evacuate all non-essential personnel from the affected area.
2. Establish a safety perimeter and restrict access to authorized personnel only.

II.Stop the Leak:


1. Shut off all HSD supply valves to prevent further leakage.
2. Use appropriate tools and methods to temporarily seal the leak, such as using
absorbent materials or leak-sealing compounds.

3. Mitigation
I.Ventilation:
1. Increase ventilation in the affected area to disperse potentially flammable vapors.
2. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment if available.

II.Spill Containment:
1. Deploy spill containment kits, including absorbent pads, booms, and spill socks, to
prevent the spread of HSD.
2. Construct temporary dikes or barriers to contain the spill.

4. Environmental Protection
I.Prevent Contamination:
1. Ensure that the HSD does not enter the water systems, soil, or drainage systems.
2. Use drain covers and booms to block any potential pathways to the environment.

II.Waste Management:
1. Collect and properly dispose of all contaminated materials as per hazardous waste
management protocols.
2. Document the volume of the spill and the cleanup efforts.

5. Emergency Services
I.Notify Authorities:
1. Contact local fire department and environmental agencies to report the spill and seek
assistance.
2. Provide detailed information about the leak and the actions taken so far.
II.Medical Assistance:
1. Administer first aid to any individuals exposed to HSD.
2. Transport affected personnel to medical facilities for further evaluation and treatment
if necessary.

6. Communication
I.Internal Communication:
1. Keep the plant’s emergency response team and management updated on the situation.
2. Use the plant’s communication systems to relay instructions and updates.

II.External Communication:
1. Provide clear and accurate information to avoid misinformation.

7. Post-Incident Procedures
I.Incident Investigation:
1. Conduct a thorough investigation to determine the cause of the leak.
2. Review plant procedures and equipment to identify potential improvements.

II.Restoration:
1. Repair the damaged equipment and conduct integrity tests before resuming
operations.
2. Ensure all safety systems are fully operational and compliant with regulations.

III.Training and Drills:


1. Provide additional training for staff on handling HSD leaks.
2. Conduct regular emergency response drills to ensure preparedness.

IV.Documentation:
1. Document the incident, response actions, and lessons learned.
2. Update the plant’s emergency response plan based on the findings.

By following this EOP, a coal power plant can effectively manage HSD leakage, ensuring the safety of
personnel, the protection of the environment, and the continuity of plant operations.
