Project Construc-on Period
The proposed Refilling plant construc4on period shall be four (4) months from
approval of all permits and licenses required.
In case of adverse weather condi4ons and other factors that may affect the site
condi4ons, the 4meline provide will vary.

 Mitigation and Control

a.  Safety Hazard i.e. Fire, Explosion,
The proposed plant will be equipped with an Emergency Shut Down system capable of
controlling the leak on the tanks in a mader of seconds, thru its safety valves and
pneuma4c actuators.
These actuators will be triggered to operate from signals coming from Gas detectors
installed on strategic loca4ons within the plant.
Secondary controls are the solenoid valves that fused when subjected to hot or fire
condi4ons.
Fire Protec4on System such as sprinklers, firehoses and fire hydrant system located
strategically within the plant premises. It will be supplied by a diesel driven engine to
ensure con4nuous water sprinklers when needed.
 Mitigation and Control…….cont’n

b. Environmental Hazard

LPG once exposed in air will become vapor, and dissipate immediately. Unknown to
some, it will not ignite or turn into flame or fire without the presence of fire or spark.
The plant is strictly implemen4ng its no open flame, no smoking policies.

There are no known pollutant present in LPG, there is no ground water
contamina4on due to immediate transi4on of LPG from liquid phase to vapor or gas
phase once it exposed to atmosphere.
