on LNG in 2015

Dutch LNG Safety Programme

Key figures

• Initiative: Nationaal LNG Platform

• Mission: Introduction of LNG as fuel for transport

without jeopardising safety

• Objective: Knowledge building on small-scale LNG

• Participants: Public private partnership with experts

from industry, research institutions, government and

emergency responders

• Duration: January 2014 – December 2015

• Financing: Industrial partners and ministries

Dutch LNG Safety Programme

Objective: knowledge building

Programme should provide a scientific basis for:

• Regulations – risk and effect distances outside property lines of LNG facilities

(“BEVI”, SAFETI-NL)

– safety requirements within property lines of LNG facilities (PGS 33)

– transport ("Basic Network“, RBMII)

• Standards – nationally through NEN

– internationally through CEN (Europe) and ISO (global)

• Guidelines/protocols

– for organizations responding to emergencies

– for organizations granting permits

Dutch LNG Safety Programme

Results

• Deliverables include:

– BAT study: overview of best available technologies

– HAZID study: recommendations and follow-up regarding

identified possible hazards

– Results of testing heat load resistance of LNG storage tanks

– Results of testing LNG transfer systems (hoses)

– Emergency response: attention and protocol sheets, guidance

for safety advisors involved in permitting, and study about

training and practicing for fire brigade

– RIVM LNG safety programme: study about failure frequencies

LNG transfer systems and double-walled LNG storage tanks,

evaluation protocol for effectiveness repressive ESD systems

Dutch LNG Safety Programme

Conclusions

• Some general conclusions:

– HAZID studies delivered credible incident scenarios and 158

recommendations that have been followed up or will be

– Double-walled vacuum cryogenic storage tanks did not fail

after 2 hours of exposure to 75 kW/m2 external heat load

– LNG (composite) hoses will leak before burst

– Development of ‘no regret’ interim policy for LNG permit

producers with (now) validated assumptions

– Water screen of very fine droplets (water fog) can effectively

protect direct vicinity, leaving pool fire to continue till all LNG

has been burnt
