“…Although most of the current regasification plants are onshore facilities, attention towards offshore natural gas resources, such as floating LNG (FLNG) and LNG floating production, offloading, and storage (LNG-FPOS), have seen exponential growth over the past period [54,55]. Won et al [155] presented a review on trends in FLNG technologies.…”

Over the past few decades, the liquefied natural gas (LNG) business has experienced astounding expansion and gained global relevance. LNG has emerged as a key element in meeting the world's rising energy demand while working to cut carbon emissions, since it is a cleaner and more adaptable energy source. The entire process from natural gas extraction to consumption is covered in the presented analysis of the LNG value chain, starting out by looking at the discovery and production of natural gas reserves, highlighting important innovations and methods used during the extraction stage. The procedures used to treat and purify natural gas in order to meet the strict standards for liquefaction are detailed. Analysis of the liquefaction process reveals numerous liquefaction technologies, e.g. the well‐known conventional liquefaction and the cutting‐edge floating LNG and small‐scale LNG facilities. LNG storage and transportation, as critical components in the value chain, are examined in great detail. When the LNG reaches its destination, regasification plays a crucial role in repurposing it as a gas for distribution and consumption. Regasification technologies, such as conventional onshore terminals, floating storage and regasification units, and land‐based regasification facilities, are covered. Concerns regarding methane emissions and the carbon footprint, the potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions through new technology, the environmental impact of LNG, and the economics of LNG are also considered across its value chain.

“…An example of scientific application would be the study of the behavior of vessels subjected to severe beam wind [80], which would require advanced simulation methods and experimental data for validating their results, as shown by [55,81,82]. Simulation methods based in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) should be employed to analyze accidents related to flooding, fire and explosions, and oil spills, as demonstrated by Zhang et al [83], Xie et al [84], and Tkalich [85], respectively. On the other hand, structural analyses, using tools such as Finite Element Methods (FEM), could be employed to investigate collision and grounding accidents, as proposed by Martinez et al [86] and Prabowo et al [87], respectively.…”

Marine Accidents in the Brazilian Amazon: The Problems and Challenges in the Initiatives for Their Prevention Focused on Passenger Ships

et al. 2022

The Brazilian Amazon is part of one of the largest river systems in the world, in which the transport of cargo and passengers is commonplace. However, several accidents still occur to passenger ships, causing fatalities. Transportation occurs commonly in remote regions, where there are transport inequalities, and emergency assistance is hard to find. This can affect sustainability in communities with considerable levels of economic and social vulnerability. More information is needed about accidents involving inland transport in the Amazon, to identify the threats to ships and propose strategies for accident prevention. This paper addresses the main problems that long-distance passenger ships face in the Brazilian Amazon, presenting an integrated framework towards accident prevention. First, the present situation is characterized in terms of ship description, spatial distribution, and regulations that are applicable. Next, possible causes of passenger ship accidents are discussed, including topics of concern that should be considered in the Amazon waterways. Finally, measures to help minimize passenger ship accidents are proposed, and the social relevance is discussed. It was found that accidents in the Amazon are due to a combination of human and environmental factors. Stakeholders should strengthen the technical and legal training of ship operators. The use of new technologies for navigational aid and necessary maintenance of ships is suggested. Marine accident prevention initiatives should consider local conditions, such as environmental preservation, cultural respect, and difficulties related to navigation through the complex riverine system of the Amazon region.

The aim of this paper was to study the suppression influence of water mist on oil pool fires, taking diesel fires and n-heptane fires as experimental objects. The effects of spray pressure and temperature on water mist suppression were examined, and an experimental platform for the suppression of water mist in a small space was set up. Their fire prevention performance and fire extinguishing mechanisms were analyzed by comparing the flame temperature and extinguishing time of diesel and n-heptane pool fire. Three types of spray pressure were set. Water mist was designed at different temperatures and design experiments were carried out for this purpose. The change process of smoke concentration, thermocouple temperature, and flame combustion under different working conditions were analyzed, and the factors affecting the fire extinguishing effect of water mist on oil pool fire were discussed. The results show that 20 °C water mist is more effective at medium and high pressure than at low pressure. Moreover, 80 °C water mist at 9 MPa is more effective in extinguishing n-heptane fire. The flame extinction time is about 10 s, which is more than 40 s higher than that of cold water.
