CLEAN AIR PROGRAM : LIQUEFIED Natural Gas Safety IN TRANSIT OPERATIONS.
1996Co-Authors: D M Friedman, N D MalcoskyAbstract:This report examines the Safety issues relating to the use of liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) in transit service. The Safety issues were determined by on-site surveys performed by Battelle of Columbus, Ohio, and Science Applications International Corp. (SAIC) of McLean, VA of four transit agencies using LNG. The surveys consisted of: 1) extensive interviews; 2) review of records, procedures, and plans relating to Safety; 3) examination of facilities and equipment; 4) observations of operations including fueling, maintenance, morning start-up, and revenue service; 5) measurement of methane concentrations in the air where the buses are being fueled or stored. Interviews included all job categories associated with management, operations Safety, maintenance, acquisition, and support. In general operations at the sites observed are safe. Some Safety deficiencies were noted and are given. The surveys also included an examination of the occupational hygiene aspects of LNG use. Survey results showed that differences exist between transit agencies in their mitigation of LNG hazards.

COMPESSED Natural Gas Safety IN TRANSIT OPERATIONS: CLEAN AIR PROGRAM
1995Co-Authors: D N Friedman, N D MalcoskyAbstract:This report presents an assessment of current industry practice and a summary of basic principles and general recommendations for the safe operations of compressed Natural Gas (CNG) transit programs. It examines Safety issues of CNG buses as determined from a survey of seven transit agencies using CNG in revenue operations. The survey included site visits and interviews with transit personnel; review of records, procedures, and Safety plans; examination of facilities and equipment; observation of operations; and measurement of methane concentrations in the air where the buses are fueled or stored. Recommendations are based on information gathered and lessons learned, as well as on prevailing practices in industrial engineering, Safety and risk management. The report includes discussions and recommendations on CNG facility design, fueling, maintenance, vehicle storage, buses, operations, speciall concerns, emergency planning, management and Safety awareness, and training. Survey findings show that CNG buses performed well and have achieved public acceptance. Some Safety deficiencies were noted. Survey results pointed out differences that exist between agencies on hazard and consequence mitigation measures, such as methane monitoring in the facilities including procedures and actions upon the detection of methane, control of strong ignition sources, and others.
