Introduction
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) stands as a vital bridge in the ongoing energy transition, serving as a cleaner-burning alternative to traditional fossil fuels. As the world shifts towards a more sustainable energy mix, LNG's lower emissions profile and ease of transport make it a pivotal component.
The popularity of small-scale LNG installations is on the rise, spanning from compact truck-filling stations to modest-scale liquefaction plants.
With LNG installations becoming increasingly prevalent, understanding the potential risks, explosion hazards, and safety protocols is paramount. Safeguarding these facilities not only protects human lives and the environment but also supports the sustainable integration of LNG within the evolving energy landscape.
Our advanced course focuses on in-depth hazard analysis for small-scale LNG facilities. It encompasses a comprehensive range of hazards related to LNG facilities, including aspects such as LNG release and dispersion, explosion modelling, cryogenic spills, prevention and mitigation strategies, probabilistic risk assessments, legislative considerations, and insights from historical accidents.
Be proactive in safeguarding your operations and personnel from LNG hazards. Enrol in our expert-led course today.
