Demystifying LNG by Angus Fire

LNG presents a challenging fire fighting hazard. This video summarises work undertaken at Texas A&M by BP and Angus Fire. It shows extensive fire tests and highlights the key features needed when selecting fire-fighting equipment and techniques.

Thank you very much

Did anyone notice the UFO that enters the screen on the right at 10:34???

Out of date fire safety concepts

[@angusfireltd]

High expansion foam remains the most established technique for protecting the bulk storage of LNG and this test work is still the most extensive practical work done in this area to evaluate both foams and the robustness of the delivery equipment.

Does that make it safe or safer?

[@angusfireltd]

In the majority of situations the Hi Expansion foam system serves two purposes.1. If there is a major spill of LNG it will blanket this spill and control the level of evaporation.2. If there is a spill and a fire occurs, then the system is designed to control the fire and allow a controlled burn off. Full fire extinction is not usually desired as it can lead to an LNG cloud forming which should it find an ignition source can cause a major expansion.Hope this helps with your question.
