Gas Explosion Hazards on Oshore and
Onshore Facilities
2425 September 2013, Grimsby, UK
2627 September 2013, London, UK
This essential course addresses all aspects of hazards
associated with vapour cloud explosions (VCEs):
ignition processes, release and dispersion, explosion
mechanisms, blast loads and modeling of all these
aspects.
Objectives
At the end of the course, delegates should achieve the
following key learning outcomes:
understand the basics and important
parameters governing vapour cloud explosions
(VCEs)
be aware of offshore release and accident
statistics and some important offshore accidents
understand the accident chain of events and the
important parameters affecting the gas release
and dispersion
understand the various preventive measures
to reduce the occurrence of accidents and the
various mitigation and control techniques to
reduce gas explosion consequences
learn the various explosion modelling
techniques that may be applied and understand
the importance of using advance 3D modelling
for gas explosion analyses
learn the various gas explosion analyses
methodologies and when they may be applied
understand how gas explosion loads can be
integrated with the responses of structures
Who will benet
safety engineers
managers
supervisors
personnel involved in the design, operation or
modification of an offshore oil and gas facility
(platforms, FPSOs, etc)
accident investigators
anyone who would like to develop an
understanding of gas explosion safety
