Safety Analysis for LNG Facilities (ePub)

Safety Analysis for LNG Facilities provides a complete picture of the hazards associated with LNG facilities and how to improve overall plant safety. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has seen tremendous growth in energy transportation and storage in the last 10 years, making safety components and procedures at these facilities critical for keeping up with the pace of the market. Covering the full spectrum of upstream, midstream, and downstream, this book describes the fundamentals and physical hazards of LNG, how to analyze the various hazards that can occur, and the processes and safeguards to implement that can be build safer plants in the future. It is a complete and concise reference to practical issues facing LNG carriers as well as small and medium LNG importation plants, including coverage on the author's research pertaining to 3D modeling of LNG dispersion and gas mapping experiences and findings. Rare failure data for LNG systems is included, plus discussion of methodologies such as LOPA, safeguards and bow-tie method. Safety Analysis for LNG Facilities will help you to fulfill safety audits with your regulators and improve overall facility risk understanding and management.Presents the physics and fundamentals of flammable material hazardsExplains regulatory constraints governing hazard analyses and risk assessments for LNG facilities worldwidePresents the application of process safety principles to LNG facilities
