Abstract

The aim of study is taking the advantages of the risk assessment of operating conditions (LEC), this study has carried out the risk assessment of the air lift process in the construction of full containment LNG storage tank with volume of 30000 m³ in one LNG projects. This performance enables the contractor to identify the major hazard sources in the construction and take safety control measures on site and facilitates to greatly reduce the safety risk in construction and effectively guarantee the smooth air lift operation.

Keywords:

Air lift process, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), major hazard sources, risk assessment, risk assessment of operating condition (LEC), storage tank construction,
