Forced Dispersion of Liquefied Natural Gas Vapor Clouds with Water Spray Curtain Application
(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 ...
Study of Cryogenic Vaporization Source-Term Due to Heat Transfer from the Solid Substrate
(2017-04-10)
U.S. regulation requires LNG facilities to demonstrate a safe exclusion zone for public safety. European safety case also requires that the facility will demonstrate their risk level within a tolerable limit. Thus, cryogenic ...
Comparative Analysis Between LNG Import and Export Terminals
(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 ...
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Vapor Dispersion Modeling with Computational Fluid Dynamics Codes
(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 ...
The application of expansion foam on liquefied natural gas (LNG) to suppress LNG vapor and LNG pool fire thermal radiation
(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 ...
Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics in the Forced Dispersion Modeling of LNG Vapor Clouds
(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 ...
Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to Study Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Pool Fires
(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 ...
Liquefied Natural Gas Hazards Mitigation with High Expansion Foam
(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 ...
Application of Computational Fluid Dynamics for Liquefied Natural Gas Pool Spreading and Vaporization on Water
(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 ...
Study of the Effects of Obstacles in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Vapor Dispersion using CFD Modeling
(2012-10-19)
The evaluation of the potential hazards related with the operation of an LNG terminal includes possible release scenarios with the consequent flammable vapor dispersion within the facility; therefore, it is important to ...
