    This Course is Aimed at

    The course is suitable for all those who require a greater depth of knowledge regarding hydrocarbon releases, including:

    • Safety managers/representatives
    • Hazard assessment engineers

    Overview
    The objective of the course is to provide a broad appreciation of the potential consequences following loss of containment incidents in the oil and gas industry.  This is achieved through classroom sessions led by industry experts and live demonstrations which complete the learning experience.

    Programme Content and Key Areas

    Live demonstrations and lectures presented by industry experts will cover the following topics:

    • Fires, including:
      • How do fires occur?
      • Characteristics of jet and pool fires
      • How fires cause damage and how the potential for damage can be assessed
      • Mitigation.
      • Dispersion, including:
        • Characteristics of vapour dispersion following a liquid spill
        • Potential effects of delayed ignition
        • Gas accumulation within confined structures
        • Dispersion of releases in onshore and offshore facilities and from pipelines.
        • Explosions, including:
          • Mechanism for pressure generation in congested process regions
          • Effect of confinement and congestion on explosions
          • Deflagration to detonation transition
          • Methods for estimating explosion loading and mitigation. 


    Other hazards

    • What is rapid phase transition?
    • Mechanisms which cause RPT to generate blast overpressures
    • Consequences of fracture propagation in full-scale transmission pipelines


    The following types of incidents will be demonstrated:

    • Liquid nitrogen spill
    • Confined, vented explosion
    • Spindle, flange and large jet fires
    • Methanol and diesel pool fires.

    Learning Outcomes
    Attendees will have developed their understanding of dispersion, fires, explosions and their associated hazards.
