A Common Risk Classification Concept for Safety Related Gas Leaks and Fugitive Emissions?
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Gas leaks in the oil and gas industry represent a safety risk as they, if ignited, may result in severe fires and/or explosions. Unignited, they have environmental impacts. This is particularly the case for methane leaks ... -
Analysis of a Costly Fiberglass-Polyester Air Filter Fire
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)In September 2020, a fire at a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant in the Arctic areas of Norway received national attention. In an unengaged air intake, the heat exchanger designed to prevent ice damage during production ... -
Analysis of a High‐Voltage Room Quasi‐Smoke Gas Explosion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)During an air separation unit shut-down in a methanol production plant, a stop signal was sent to the control cabinet of a synchronous motor for a booster compressor. The control cabinet stopped magnetizing the rotor, while ... -
Analysis of Expected Skin Burns from Accepted Process Flare Heat Radiation Levels to Public Passersby
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Hot flaring, even from quite high flare stacks, may result in significant heat radiation outside a facility to, e.g., public roads where random passersby may be exposed. The present study suggests a novel method for analyzing ... -
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Extinguishing Effectiveness of Inert-Gas Agents in a Leaky Enclosure
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Gas-fire-suppression systems are currently applied to some specific buildings in Norway, as sprinkler systems may not provide sufficient protection in some cases. The application of inert-gas-fire-suppression systems for ... -
Influence of Acetone and Sodium Chloride Additives on Cooling Efficiency of Water Droplets Impinging onto Hot Metal Surfaces
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)In the present work, the cooling efficiency of water droplets falling onto hot aluminum and stainless steel discs from heights of 12.5 cm, 25 cm, 50 cm and 100 cm, corresponding to speeds of 1.5 m/s, 2.2 m/s, 3.1 m/s and ... -
Numerical Investigation of the Required Quantity of Inert Gas Agents in Fire Suppression Systems
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Inert gas agents have the potential to be widely used in fire suppression systems due to health and safety concerns associated with active chemicals. To suppress fire while minimizing hypoxic effects in an occupied area, ... -
Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) as a Moderator for Interdisciplinary Cooperation, Reduced Emissions and Increased Safety
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) cameras represent an interesting tool for identifying leaking components in hydrocarbon processing and transport systems. They make it possible to see exactly where a leak originates, thereby ...
