Gas Explosion Hazards, Fire Detection and Protection Systems Design for Oil and Gas

This 3-day course is designed to provide an insight into the major drivers into fire and explosion hazard risk, and the various methods of preventing and mitigating such risk. The course will discuss quantitative consequence analysis, such as vapor dispersion modeling, vapor cloud explosion modeling, fire modeling, and presents the details necessary to perform such analyses. In addition, it will focus on the fire and gas detection systems for offshore and onshore process areas, and how such systems can be used to lower the overall explosion risk to facilities. The course will demonstrate how performance based designs can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a fire and gas detection system, but will not provide comprehensive instruction on designing such systems.
