Credit: 4 PDH
Subject Matter Expert: Steven Vitale, P.E., PhD
In Natural Gas and Liquefied Natural Gas Safety Moments: A 52-Year Technical Look Back of Learnings (Video on Demand) , you'll learn ...
- Safety principles and operational challenges in LNG facilities and gas transmission and distribution systems.
- The causes and impacts of phenomena like pipeline ruptures, LNG stratification, rollovers, and BLEVEs.
- Procedures such as LOTO, frost heave prevention, and emergency response to prevent system failures and ensure worker safety.
- Relevant regulations, such as 49 CFR Parts 192 and 193 and NFPA 59A, that are in place to ensure compliance and safety in plant operations.
Overview
This course explores safety principles and operational challenges in LNG facilities and gas transmission and distribution systems. Participants will analyze critical case studies, understand key technical concepts, and learn best practices for mitigating gas and cryogenic system risks. The course integrates real-world examples, regulatory guidelines, and the latest engineering methodologies to ensure operational safety and reliability, from pipeline rupture dynamics to frost heave prevention.
The course is designed for LNG engineers, operators, safety managers, and others involved in gas plant operations and risk management.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Review of past incidents (e.g., Texas City Refinery, Cleveland LNG Explosion), including safety gaps and lessons learned.
- How to assess risks associated with LNG transport, storage, and transfer, including issues related to thermal expansion, differential pressures, and gas composition.
- How to promote a robust safety culture through technical knowledge, procedure adherence, and proactive hazard identification.
- Relevant regulations, such as 49 CFR Parts 192 and 193 and NFPA 59A, that are in place to ensure compliance and safety in plant operations.
- How to prepare for emergencies using proactive measures such as communication protocols, equipment maintenance, and redundancy systems.
