LNG Risk Management

Managing the risks of onshore and offshore LNG facilities via a thorough understanding of the design and key issues associated with liquefied natural gas.

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.

Liquefied Natural Gas Pool Fires Newsletter

Process simulations are not only a code requirement, but they are also an essential component of a full Process Hazard Analysis (PHA). In this newsletter, Georges Melhem, Ph.D., FAIChE, presents the modeling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) pool fires. Would an LNG tanker accident cause the release of all five tanks of LNG content? Common sense, factual data, and scientific evidence challenge a myth.

Construction Hazard Analysis of an LNG Plant

An LNG plant in the U.S. was planning the renovation and expansion of its existing facilities, as well as replacing and installing new pipelines for transmission and distribution. Before construction began, the client needed to be sure the potential risks were identified and successfully managed to prevent any release of LNG and damage to their existing equipment and storage tank. Read the case study to learn the value of working with the ioMosaic team.

View Case Study
An LNG manufacturer had four nearly identical trains with three flare header systems. The client decided they wanted to use a new and more stringent criteria than previously performed under a different design criterion. The large scope and tedious nature of the data entry was a challenge since all calculations needed to be checked to determine the maximum pressure each flare pipe line would be exposed to.

The chemical company of a large integrated energy company was developing a corporate standard for LOPA, which incorporated a risk ranking matrix. The company was interested in obtaining an independent review of the design of the risk matrix, and in benchmarking the underlying risk tolerability criteria with generally accepted industry norms.
