Overview |
An advanced course on the analysis of explosion and other hazards for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities. It addresses multiple hazards associated with onshore and offshore LNG facilities including: LNG release and dispersion, explosion modelling, cryogenic spills, prevention and mitigation, probabilistic risk assessments, legislation and accidents.
|
Programme Content and Key Areas |
Day 1 - Fundamentals of LNG – composition, cryogenic properties, hazards (cryogenic embrittlement, pool fire, flash fire, explosion).
- LNG historical accidents – Cleveland explosion, Skikda LNG liquefaction facility explosion, other minor incidents.
- Gas explosion basics – combustion mechanisms, fuel reactivity, positive feedback mechanism, importance of geometry, explosion tests.
- LNG accident consequences models – potential leak sources, dispersion (liquid spills and flashing jet releases), pool fires, explosions, benefits of CFD.
- Prevention and mitigation – hazardous area classification, ventilation, choice of equipment, maintenance and procedures, inventory control, ESD, layout modification.
- Cryogenic spill hazards and protection.
Day 2 - LNG safety regulations – NFPA 59A, EN 1473.
- Hazard assessment methodologies – deterministic v probabilistic methods.
- Deterministic analyses – onshore liquefaction case studies (export and truck-loading facilities).
- Probabilistic analyses – onshore liquefaction case studies.
- Probabilistic analyses – floating LNG case studies (safety gaps, grated decks, layout examples).
- Course summary.
