GexCon is presenting an advanced course on the analysis of
facilities. The 2-day course will address multiple hazards
LNG release and dispersion, explosion modeling, cryogenic spills, prevention and mitigation, probabilistic risk assessments, legislation, accidents, selected case studies. The course will prove helpful to experienced engineers, safety supervisors, and operating managers who are committed to safe workplaces.
