Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is the condensed form of natural gas
achieved by cryogenic chilling. This process reduces gas to a
liquid 600 times smaller in volume than it is in its original
state, making it suitable for economical global transportation. LNG
has been traded internationally and used with a good safety record
since the 1960s. However, with some accidents occurring with the
storage and liquefaction of LNG, a good understanding of its
mechanisms, and its potential ramifications to facilities and to
the nearby public, is becoming critically important. With an
unbiased eye, this book leans on the expertise of its authors and
LNG professionals worldwide to examine these serious safety issues,
while addressing many false assumptions surrounding this volatile
energy source.
LNG Risk Based Safety:
* Summarizes the findings of the Governmental Accountability
Office's (GAO) survey of nineteen LNG experts from across North
America and Europe
* Reviews the history of LNG technology developments
* Systematically reviews the various consequences from LNG
releases-- discharge, evaporation, dispersion, fire, and other
impacts, and identifies best current approaches to model possible
consequence zones
* Includes discussion of case studies and LNG-related accidents
over the past fifty years
Covering every aspect of this controversial topic, LNG Risk
Based Safety informs the reader with firm conclusions based on
highly credible investigation, and offers practical recommendations
that researchers and developers can apply to reduce hazards and
extend LNG technology.
JOHN L. WOODWARD, PhD, is Senior Principal Consultant in the Process Safety Division of Baker Engineering and Risk Consultants, Inc. in San Antonio, Texas. He has been actively involved in consequence modeling for both the DNV PHAST and BakerRisk SafeSite codes for many years. He was invited by the GAO (Government Accountability Office) as part of a team of LNG experts to review LNG safety issues. ROBIN M. PITBLADO, PhD, is Director for SHE Risk Management for Det Norske Veritas and is based in Houston, Texas. He has been active in consequence modeling, risk assessment and major accident investigation for over thirty years and was also a member of the GAO Panel of LNG Experts.
