Risk Response Development4

Sl. No. Risk Event Contingency Plans

Proper pressure levels should be
Leakage in storage tank and Biogas maintained and implementation of
1
distribution network corrosion resistant liners can reduce
the chance of leakage.

Formation of flammable mixtures during Digester must have flare system to

2
the digester maintenance operations burn off excess flammable mixtures.

Using exhaust and ventilation system to

reduce hydrogen sulphide levels, using
3 Accidental release of Hydrogen sulphide
respiratory and other PPEs for
workers involved

Effluent discharge system should be

connected through foul drainage
system and should be checked for any
4 Accidental discharge of effluent
leak and proper condition should be
applied to avoid ground contamination
which can be harmful for nearby area.

Overflowing sewage systems due to Pressure level should be managed

exceptional downpour , presence of carefully and there must be minimum
5 dangerous raw material used to produce of two pressure release valves to
Biogas , freezing of valves and high prevent explosion of anaerobic digester
pressure inside the digester tank.

Risk Response Control

1. For Biogas plant project, proper documentation for Project risk assessment and
contingency plans should be maintained which can be required in future projects where
conditions may not be same but basic risk assessment will be same anywhere in any
project.
2. Every employees and worker should be equally responsible and accountable to identify
the risks involved and report to higher management and safety team to mitigate the same.
