INTRODUCTION
The Process Hazard and Risk Assessment (PHRA) for Gasoline Import to the storage
facility at Immingham East identified that a Layer of Protection Analysis (LOPA) study
should be carried out for protection of Tank overfill. The method considered was import
from a ship. The method of analysis has been detailed below to introduce this method of
review.
The conclusions from this LOPA study are summarised in section 2.2.
The site is a multi-chemical storage facility located at Immingham, South Humberside on
South side of the River Humber and the east side of the Docks on indigenous clays and is
not confined by any topographical features or vegetation. The site bounded on the northern
side by water and on the Southern side by dockyard facilities. The river Humber constitutes
a Site of Special Scientific Interest and EU protected area.
