Spadeadam Test Site
Hazard
Awareness Training
Course dates:
1st-2nd May 2008
Advantica has a well established reputation in safety research, primarily relating to the study of major hazards (fire and explosions) associated with oil and gas operations. Over the past 20 years mathematical models of the consequences of accidental hydrocarbon releases have been developed and validated against large scale experimental data generated at Spadeadam.
Many of these experimental programmes have been jointly funded by oil and gas industry operators in major JIPs providing extensive data on gas dispersion, fire and explosion hazards.
Spadeadam Test Facility
The Spadeadam Test Site is a unique facility carrying out research and technical service work for the oil and gas, process and energy industries, construction industries as well as government agencies.
Spadeadam is a world leading test centre where full scale experiments of a potentially hazardous nature can be undertaken such as:- Hydrocarbon fires and explosions, and performance testing of equipment or components under operational or extreme conditions.
Course Aim
To give an appreciation of the consequences of loss of containment through a series of lectures and experimental demonstrations of fire, explosion and dispersion hazards. The experiments and lectures will be combined with video footage and examples of model calculations to give and overview of the consequences and mitigation techniques following a loss of containment.
People who should attend this course:
- Operational personnel on onshore petrochemical sites and offshore oil and gas platforms.
- Emergency response teams and services.
- Safety managers.
- Hazard assessment engineers.
