A Review of LNG Applied and Security Researches

Abstract:

This review summarizes the research status of LNG including bulk usage status of LNG, fire risk in transport or storage, research work and progress about the behavior of LNG spills; rollover; pool fires; and explosion. The paper analyses the LNG widespread bulk usage trends in application as a new type of energy and discusses its characters and the further understanding about the security in using LNG.
