Fast and effective response to LNG vapour releases and fires.

Auteurs : WESTWOOD K., WILLSON M.

Résumé

BP are leading the world in practical test work to define modern approaches to LNG fire protection and vapour dispersion. Working with partner Texas A&M university and leading manufacturers, like Angus Fire, in fire suppression and detection technology, they have developed a world class LNG test facility in Texas. Intended to promote an overall understanding of LNG safety issues and how to deal with them. The paper covers some of the practical LNG testing, training and research work that has defined optimised high expansion foam application rates for LNG fires and vapour releases, proven the effectiveness of leading LNG Turbex foam generating systems and other equipment for detecting and controlling LNG. It has also dispelled some of the historical misunderstandings surrounding control of LNG releases.
