Flare system for safe disposal of LNG from a disabled tanker

Technical Report · Wed Dec 01 00:00:00 EST 1982

OSTI ID:6858069

The feasibility of a flare system for the rapid and safe incineration of the cargo of a disabled LNG tanker is evaluated. The project developed design parameters and proof-of-principle investigations of a system for off-loading and flaring LNG from a disabled LNG tanker. The system described offers enough promise to warrant additional investigation, if cargo burning is desired as a way of reducing other possible hazards.
