(2016-12-07)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) pool fires pose a major risk to LNG facilities. The radiant energy from a LNG pool fire can be sufficiently high to threaten the structural integrity of the facility, plant personnel, fire ...
-
(2016-04-22)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a cryogenic liquid consisting predominantly of methane compressed to 1/600th of its gaseous volume for transportation. A release of LNG on water during marine operations can occur due to ...
-
(2013-05-31)The safety and security of liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities has prompted the need for continued study of LNG mitigation systems. Water spray systems are widely recognized as an effective measure for dispersing LNG ...
-
(2009-05-15)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) hazards include LNG flammable vapor dispersion and LNG pool fire thermal radiation. A large LNG pool fire emits high thermal radiation thus preventing fire fighters from approaching and extinguishing ...
-
(2016-05-09)According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), the natural gas consumption in the US was 1,726 billion cubic feet in January 2013, and the demand has been increasing rapidly around the world as natural gas ...
-
(2009-05-15)The increased demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) has led to the construction of several new LNG terminals in the United States (US) and around the world. To ensure the safety of the public, consequence modeling is used ...
-
(2015-05-21)The spill of many chemicals such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) on land or water results in its rapid vaporization and the formation of a dense cloud. The performance of a risk assessment for the spill of flammable chemicals ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)This research study investigated a new conceptual design for a modular structural configuration incorporating storage for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) within the base of the platform structure. The structure, referred to ...
-
(2011-10-21)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is flammable when it forms a 5 – 15 percent volumetric concentration mixture with air at atmospheric conditions. When the LNG vapor comes in contact with an ignition source, it may result in ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)The coupling and interactions between ship motion and inner-tank sloshing are investigated by a potential-viscous hybrid method in time domain. For the time domain simulation of vessel motion, the hydrodynamic coefficients ...
-
(2015-04-06)Many safety challenges are associated with the production, handling and transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) due to its hazardous properties and nature that is significantly different than any other hydrocarbons, ...
-
(2012-07-16)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a commonly used flammable fuel that has safety concerns associated with vapor dispersion and radiation emitted from pool fires. The main objective of this effort is to advance the knowledge ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Floating LNG terminals are a relatively new concept with the first such terminal in the world installed this year. The hydrodynamic interaction effects between the terminal and a LNG carrier in a side-by-side offloading ...
-
(2011-02-22)There has been, and will continue to be, tremendous growth in the use and distribution of liquefied natural gas (LNG). As LNG poses the hazard of flammable vapor cloud formation from a release, which may result in a massive ...
-
(2012-10-19)Federal regulation 49 CFR 193 and standard NFPA 59A require the use of validated consequence models to determine the vapor cloud dispersion exclusion zones for accidental liquefied natural gas (LNG) releases. For modeling ...
-
(2015-09-28)The gas industry boom driven by the advancement of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing technologies provides a solution to a growing demand on energy, especially clean energy. The liquefaction process reduces the ...
-
(2015-04-14)In this work, a zirconium phosphate based universal foam stabilizer was developed to stabilize and improve performance of firefighting foam and high expansion liquid natural gas (LNG) suppression foam. With the world’s ...
-
(2016-08-17)For many decades, degradation of concrete by freezing actions has been a primary interest of research for civil engineers. Past studies mostly relied on expensive and time-consuming experimental or semi-empirical investigations ...
-
(2012-11-20)In this work, a source term model for estimating the rate of spreading and vaporization of LNG on land and sea is introduced. The model takes into account the composition changes of the boiling mixture, the varying ...
-
(2014-04-25)Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) has recently known significant development worldwide. The assessment and the control of the risks associated to the production, storage and transportation of LNG is of paramount importance to ...
