The Sensitivity of Final Consequence Analysis Results to the LNG Pool Area

It will form a floating pool when LNG spilled on water or land. It may often be difficult to apply existing models or experimental data to specify the area of LNG pool. In this paper, the sensitivity of final consequence analysis results to the LNG pool area is examined. Under the condition of the same leak rate, the result shows that LNG vapor dispersion distance along the downwind reduces from 309m to 260m when the liquid pool increased from 10m to 20m in diameter. LNG pool area, therefore, is an important effect to determine the exclusion zones.
