• A Common Risk Classification Concept for Safety Related Gas Leaks and Fugitive Emissions? 

      Log, Torgrim; Pedersen, Wegar Bjerkeli (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-10-24)
      Gas leaks in the oil and gas industry represent a safety risk as they, if ignited, may result in severe fires and/or explosions. Unignited, they have environmental impacts. This is particularly the case for methane leaks due to a significant Global Warming Potential (GWP). Since gas leak rates may span several orders of magnitude, that is, from leaks associated with potential major accidents to ...
    • Numerical Investigation of the Required Quantity of Inert Gas Agents in Fire Suppression Systems 

      Hu, Xiaoqin; Kraaijeveld, Arjen; Log, Torgrim (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-16)
      Inert gas agents have the potential to be widely used in fire suppression systems due to health and safety concerns associated with active chemicals. To suppress fire while minimizing hypoxic effects in an occupied area, the discharge quantity of inert gas agents should be carefully designed to dilute the oxygen concentration to a specific threshold level. In this study, the general expressions ...
