Advances in LNG hazard and risk assessment.

Résumé

The accurate assessment of hazards and risks for LNG facilities is crucial to understanding how a facility should be designed and operated. These assessments need to be rigorous and thorough to ensure that a project proceeds in the safest way. Over the years many advances have been made in this area. The paper covers some recent developments, for instance in the area of explosion prediction. The authors describe the development of a layout tool for prompt analysis of risk in a facility in the design stage. Such analysis was formerly more difficult owing to the need to provide detailed data that was not yet available. The emphasis of the methodology is on ease and speed of input and easily understood results. With this tool, it is quicker to lay out a new plant and obtain risk contours. Units can be quickly moved around and the risk recalculated. This enables us to optimise the footprint of LNG plant without compromising safety.
