LNG Safety Safety process system for cryogenic fluid transfer When handling cryogenic fluids (for example, liquefied natural gas), there are major risks with regard to operational safety. The project pursued the development of a safety system that can be used when refueling a ship with LNG by using a bunkering vessel. In this context, BIBA developed a safety system. This is to be used to monitor the hazardous area. It includes monitoring for possible gas leaks as well as environmental monitoring to prevent injuries to people. The safety system is based on a combined RGB and thermal camera, which in combination with Deep Learning algorithms enables automatic hazard detection within the use cases. In this way, detection of persons in the hazardous area can be ensured even under maritime conditions (e.g. poor visibility due to fog) during bunkering. Extensive laboratory tests demonstrated that the selected approach enables reliable detection of the use cases based on thermal images and thus represents a promising alternative to a monitoring approach based on RGB images due to its robustness against maritime environmental conditions.
