Project: Obtaining the decision of the authorities in the field of Emergency Situations for the operation of the site according to the provisions of Law 59/2016

Study name: Safety Report

Economic Operator: Azomureș S.A., Mureș County, City of Târgu Mureș

On-site activities:

Production and marketing of the following products:

• chemical fertilizers (ammonium nitrate, calcium nitrate, urea, NPK complex fertilizers and liquid fertilizers);
• melamine;
• basic technical substances (liquefied ammonia, nitric acid, ammonia – solution);
• nitrogen gas and liquid nitrogen;
• dry calcium carbonate and wet calcium carbonate.

Analysis and assessment:
– Aspects of the Major Accident Prevention Policy and the Security Management System were integrated in the Safety Report, the latter being part of the company’s Quality – WHS – Environment and Security integrated management system which includes the following aspects:

• an organization and staff,
• identification and assessment of major hazards,
• operational control
• management of changes and modifications
• emergency planning,
• performance monitoring,
• audit and review.

– For the preliminary risk analysis, the method “Preliminary Hazard Analysis – PHA” was used.
– Quantitative methods of risk assessment, analysis of consequences by modeling scenarios of major accidents such as toxic dispersions, fires and explosions were used to assess the amplitude and severity of the consequences of major accidents identified in the report.

Project: Obtaining the Environmental Agreement

Study Name: Report on the impact on the environment

Economic Operator: S.C. SUN GARDEN S.C.S., Pucioasa, Dâmboviţa County

On-site activities: Manufacture of polyurethane foam with a continuous block foaming plant and cutting of polyurethane foam blocks

Analysis and assessment:
– The elaboration of the Report on the impact on the environment was carried out in a full collaboration with the designer of the works and with the economic operator;
– The investment consisted in the construction of production halls, technological platforms, precinct roads, green areas, as well as technical-municipal networks necessary for operation;
– In order to assess the level of impact, the most unfavorable situations were taken into account, considering the simultaneity of all activities involved in the project. Through this approach to assessment, the cumulative effects were presented for all analyzed environmental factors ;
– The impact forecast was made for surface and groundwater, for air, soil and subsoil, biodiversity, landscape, social and economic environment, cultural and ethnic conditions, cultural heritage;
– The risk situations were also analyzed, and for those with a medium level, simulations were performed with specialized software, for the most probable scenarios;
– Supporting the paper by presenting the results in public debates, with various actors involved (decision makers, other operators, the public, etc.).
