Enhanced safety measures are being made for structures that are exposed to liquefied natural gas (LNG) fire.
Dr. Filippo Gavelli from Blue Engineering and Consulting Company (BLUE) and Dr. Qingsheng Wang, a professor with the Department of Chemical Engineering, have led a large-scale experiment testing different coatings on steel beams and examining how they hold up in a fire. The project is a collaboration between BLUE, the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (TEES), and Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX). It’s sponsored by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT).
