LNG, An Intermediate Level Course, Session 2 of 10 (Ohio Timed & Monitored Video)

In LNG, An Intermediate Level Course, Session 2 of 10 , you'll learn ...

• LNG Tank Components
• LNG tank relief valves, insulation, and material ratings.
• Benefits and disadvantages of top and bottom tank penetrations; and hold-down straps
• High and low-pressure relief valves

Overview

To meet the Ohio Board's intent that online courses be "paced" by the provider, a timer will be used to record your study time. You will be unable to access the quiz until the required study time of 55 minutes has been met.

Duration: 55 minutes

LNG plants and other petrochemical plants are built to bring a return on investment to their investors through their safe operation. Their designers and engineer-led operators require technical knowledge to ensure these facilities are safe and reliable. This course series gives you that knowledge.

This training covers LNG technologies at both a technical and human resource development level. This training is needed to help you design, operate, or maintain an LNG facility; however, many LNG topics can also apply to other petrochemical plants. This training is intended to present technical materials to help develop a clear understanding of an LNG facility's safe and efficient operation. It is intended to give the learner the intermediate technical knowledge needed to make informed planning, maintenance, and operating decisions to ensure plant safety, reliability, and efficiency. The most crucial intention of this training is to give you technical knowledge on how to continue making the liquid natural gas industry safe and reliable.

This is the second in a series of ten progressively more in-depth courses on Liquefied Natural Gas. In the ten lesson series, more detail will be given on the operation of an LNG plant, refrigeration systems for liquefying, and the thermodynamics involved in producing, storing, transporting, and re-vaporizing LNG.

For this intermediate-level course series, the learner must have a basic knowledge of LNG and its uses.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

• Identify the components of an LNG tank.
• Describe LNG tank relief valves, insulation, and material ratings.
• Compare the benefits and disadvantages of top and bottom tank penetrations and hold-down straps.
• Distinguish between high- and low-pressure relief valves.
• Identify the types of LNG tanks and explain the operation of each.
• Describe the components of boil-off gas (BOG).
• Explain BOG flammability limits and smoke characteristics.
• Identify berm requirements for single-containment tanks.
• Compare single-, double-, and full-containment LNG tanks, including nitrogen- and BOG-filled annular spaces.
• Describe process safety analyses for LNG systems.

Certificate of Completion

You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 16 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
