Highlights of LNG risk technology

Impact of LNG Vapor Dispersion on Evacuation Routes inside LNG Terminals

“…One should not exclude terrorist attacks under any scenario, considering the fact that such events are estimated to cause an extremely negative effect. The calculations indicate that under a terrorist attack, the maximal crack in the tanker could reach 1500 mm [16], thus creating a pool with a diameter reaching up to 400 m [6] and [17] to [19]. Crucial factors are the speed and direction of the wind.…”

A Review of Recent Safety Research Activities on LNG Operation

“…Beside this, it should be noted that worst-case approach can be recommended or required in some regulations. (Pitblado and Woodward 2011) have recently undertaken a major review of LNG consequence modeling, compiling a wide range of historical information with more recent experiments and modeling approaches in a book entitled "LNG Risk-Based Safety: Modeling and Consequence Analysis". All the main consequence routes were reviewed e discharge, evaporation, pool and jet fire, vapor cloud explosions, rollover, and Rapid Phase Transitions (RPT's).…”

High-energy liquid jet technology — risk assessment in practice

“…All parts nineties of the twentieth century and later supported by abrasive particle research [7]. In further improvement of the production quality the risk assessment based on the FMEA should be helpful similarly to other industrial processes analysed by this method [8,9]. The concurrent application of this method for simultaneous evaluation of the process effectiveness and health and safety risks to the operators, however, can yield some misrepresenting results.…”
