Abstract

Operators of all LNG plants must meet certain requirements of the Federal Safety Standards1 (Standards). Although plants existing at the time these Standards were adopted need not be updated to comply with siting, design, installation, or construction requirements, their fire protection and security systems must be updated to comply with these Standards, They must also be operated and maintained in accordance with the Standards, including preparation of procedures, and training of personnel. Some operators use a more advanced technique - a system hazard analysis, which goes beyond the requirements of these Standards - to enhance the reliability and safety of their plants. In this paper we summarizes some techniques for evaluating plants, and the measures taken by some operators to update their plants.
