Title: A Philosophy Of Fire Protection For LNG Plants

Abstract: The overall fire protection needed for an LNG facility consists of a combination of in-built leakage control and fire resistance measures backed up by secondary leak and fire control measures. These measures are common to many petroleum and and chemical plants for which experience is extensive. It is necessary to recognize the effects of both small quantities of LNG discharging at high rates (a short-time situation) and of large quantities discharging at slow rates (a long-time situation). Secondary measures should be designed to contend with both unignited and ignited leaks (fires). The factors involved in actual extinguishment and control of vapors and heat by water application are discussed and it is concluded that water has the most extensive application as an LNG control agent notwithstanding the care needed in its use.
