A chemical organization produces hydrogen peroxide and sodium chlorate for the pulp and paper industry. The site handles hazardous and flammable materials, presenting risks to employees and the local community. Recognizing the need for a thorough understanding of these hazards, this company sought to evaluate the risks posed to occupied buildings during normal operations.
The company commissioned ESi to perform a facility siting study. The goal was to identify Maximum Credible Events (MCEs) such as fires, explosions, or toxic gas releases and evaluate their potential impact on occupied buildings.
