Chaudhari, Dushyant Madhav (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 ...
-
Kim, Byung-Kyu (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 ...
-
Cormier, Benjamin Rodolphe (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 ...

Safitri, Anisa (2012-07-16)Advancement in infrared imaging technology has allowed the thermal imaging to detect and visualize several gases, mostly hydrocarbon gases. In addition, infrared cameras could potentially be used as a non-contact temperature ...
-
Qi, Ruifeng (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 ...
-
Zhang, Bin (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 ...
