Mitigation and benefits measures as policy tools for siting potentially hazardous facilities: determinants of effectiveness and appropriateness.

How do mitigation and benefits measures affect public acceptance for siting different kinds of potentially hazardous facilities? What kinds of benefits measures are seen as most (or least) appropriate for different kinds of facilities? This study used a nationwide telephone survey consisting of 1,234 interviews with randomly selected respondents to test for the effects of packages of safety and...

Lng Accident Dynamic Simulation: Application for Hazardous Consequence Reduction

The definition of hazard area, centered inside the LNG stations, is essential for risk assessment in LNG industry. In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations have been conducted for the two main LNG hazards, LNG flammable vapor dispersion and LNG pool fire radiation, to determine the hazard exclusion area. The spatial and temporal distribution of hazard in complex spill scena...

Practical Implementation of Safety Verification in LNG Production Facilities

Many energy and production facilities are operating without clear formal safety requirements, which are considered the base for good process safety management practices. Safety requirements are typically specified during process design based on identified hazard scenarios. This paper proposes a practical framework and methods to systematically synthesize safety requirements based on qualitative...
