LPG Terminal Design & Plant Operations

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) is composed of light hydrocarbon compounds, primarily a mixture of propane and butane. It is a non-toxic yet highly flammable gas, which makes it essential for LPG terminals to be designed with careful consideration to prevent hazards arising from its physical properties. LPG must be handled with great caution, and all plant operations should follow stringent safety protocols in line with global standards.

LPG terminals are designed to receive, store, blend, and distribute LPG. Given the extensive scope of operations involved, safety and meticulous planning are crucial to ensuring the success of plant operations. This specialized training course, is tailored for professionals in the Barging & Cargo Operations Unit involved in LPG terminal designs and plant operations safety.

The LPG Terminal Design & Plant Operations training course provides in-depth knowledge on terminal infrastructure, risk management, and operational safety protocols to ensure compliance with industry standards and best practices in Liquefied Petroleum Gas LPG logistics.
