Live Webinar: Engineering Safe LNG Plants: Storage Architecture and Containment Systems
Author: Steven Vitale
LNG plants and other petrochemical plants are built to bring a return on investment to their investors through their safe operation. Their designers and engineer-led operators require technical knowledge to ensure these facilities are safe and reliable. This course gives you that knowledge.
This live webinar introduces engineers to the technical topics related to the safe production, storage, transportation, and vaporization of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). The topic of LNG safety is broad and extensive; this course is not meant to be all-inclusive. This course is an Intermediate Level course.
This course covers LNG technologies at both a technical and human resource development level. It will help you design, operate, or maintain an LNG facility; however, many LNG topics can also apply to other petrochemical plants. This course presents technical materials to develop a clear understanding of an LNG facility’s safe and efficient operation. It is intended to give the learner the intermediate technical knowledge needed to make informed planning, maintenance, and operating decisions to ensure plant safety, reliability, and efficiency. The most crucial intention of this training is to give you technical knowledge on how to continue making the liquid natural gas industry safe and reliable.
Detailed information is provided on the operation of an LNG plant, refrigeration systems for liquefying, and the thermodynamics involved in producing, storing, transporting, and re-vaporizing LNG. The course presents background information needed to understand LNG and its uses. It covers the following topics:
- LNG Tank Components
- LNG tank relief valves, insulation, and material ratings
- Benefits and disadvantages of top and bottom tank penetrations; and hold-down straps
- High and low-pressure relief valves
- Types of tanks and operation of each
- Components of BOG
- BOG flammable limits and smoke
- Berm requirements for single containment tanks
- LNG tank types – single, double, and full containment; nitrogen and BOG annular space filled
- Process safety analysis
