Liquefied Gaseous Fuels Spill Test Facility
The US Department of Energy's Liquefied Gaseous Fuels Spill Test Facility is a research and demonstration facility available on a user-fee basis to private and public sector test sponsors concerned with safety aspects of hazardous chemicals. Though initially designed to accommodate large liquefied natural gas releases, the Spill Test Facility (STF) accommodates safety-related testing of most chemicals in commercial use. The Facility is located at DOE's Nevada Test Site near Mercury, Nevada, USA. The Spill Test Facility is the only facility of its kind for either large- or small-scale testing of hazardous and toxic fluids with the added capability of large-scale wind tunnel testing under controlled conditions. It is ideally suited for users to develop verified data on prevention, mitigation, clean-up, and environmental effects of toxic and hazardous gaseous liquids. This document is designed to briefly acquaint a potential user of the Spill Test Facility with an outline of the procedures and policies associated with the use of the facility.
