Our multifaceted approach takes into consideration the needs of regulators, engineering contractors and most importantly, you. LNG terminals, send-out facilities and associated pipelines, and power plants around the world rely on our extensive experience to complete QRAs, HAZOP and hazard identification studies, safety integrity level (SIL) reviews, and consequence analysis modeling.
By implementing structured PHA approaches, LNG operators can enhance safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency, ensuring the long-term integrity of LNG infrastructure. Read this publication for a detailed and concise guide for LNG production, storage, and transport companies to understand and consistently apply process hazard analysis methodologies, tailored to the LNG industry.
Some parts of the US media have managed to dramatize key issues surrounding LNG transportation, facility operations, and proposed new projects. Erroneous media speculation and sensationalism, especially regarding the threat of terrorism, have created an atmosphere of anti-LNG sentiment fueled by fear and paranoia. The media are partly influenced by erroneous, so-called independent expert analysis and public statements. This has been exacerbated by political and public concerns and pressure, skepticism and doubts over recent studies and statements from LNG companies and government agencies, as well as historical and recent incidents such as Skikda. It is becoming very difficult for the average person to separate fact from fiction because of this sensationalism and the hidden motives and private agendas of various working groups. This paper will separate facts from myths regarding statements reported by various newspapers, working groups, and web sites.
Companies have implemented their process safety management programs to comply with OSHA and EPA requirements, but they continue to have accidents. Process safety management programs can meet the letter of the law, but may not be effective in preventing accidents. Traditional audit programs look at documentation and procedures, but do little to evaluate the program quality or effectiveness.
The California Energy Commission was directed to assist in the development of clean alternate transportation fuels. As part of this effort, they support the commercialization of fuel cell vehicles operating on hydrogen fuel. In order to be used extensively in the transportation sector, the safety of hydrogen production, storage, and supply needed to be addressed.
