1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING LNG/LPG RISK ANALYSIS
1.1 An incident involving LNG or LPG is normally followed by the natural
production of a visible vapour cloud provided ignition does not occur
immediately. The downwind travel of the vapour cloud and its crosswind
dimensions may cover an area measured in hectares or square nautical miles.
Atmospheric structures, prevailing wind velocity, quantity, rate and
duration of the LNG or LPG release, water surface area surrounding the
source of released LNG or LPG, are effective factors in predicting the
dimensions (length, width, height) of LNG or LPG vapour clouds.
1.2 As an example, during LNG vaporisation, LNG (methane) initially expands
its volume by a factor of about 250 and, as it warms to ambient temperature,
it continues to expand to volumes about 600 times larger than its liquid
volume. Initially, the cold methane vapour is denser than air and the vapour
cloud hugs the earth’s surface until warming makes it lighter than air and
it rises. LPG (propane or butane) remains denser than the ambient air and
the vapour cloud hugs the earth’s surface even when warmed to ambient
temperatures.
1.3 The major threat to a LNG or LPG generated vapour
cloud is ignition when the gas-air ratios are within the respective upper
and lower flammable limits (5% to 15% volume in air for methane, 2.4% to
9.5% volume in air for propane, and about 1.8% to 8.4% volume in air for
butane). Other gases should be evaluated based on their own particular
characteristics.
