BP will feature Angus’ specialist fire fighting foam equipment in a new booklet on extinguishing liquefied natural gas (LNG) fires.The booklet explains the dangers of LNG, as well as the special fire hazard management and emergency response measures required in the event of such a fire.
“Until now, the only fire test data available on LNG has been based on outdated storage and handling techniques,” said Mike Wilson, product manager for Angus Fire. “This new booklet describes modern solutions for realistic operating conditions, and is all the more important because global demand for LNG as an energy resource is growing rapidly.”
The recommendations are based on tests on different foams and application techniques in a range of scenarios. The tests were carried out at the new LNG testing and training facility developed and sponsored by BP, in collaboration with the Emergency Services Training Institute at Texas A&M University.
The new booklet is the seventh in the BP Fire Booklet series (“blue books”) and is available from BP International.
