run if it ignites.
bleve it just might.
first order of biz is to prevent it,
rather than cool it.
that may not be your meal ticket,
but there is a design where:
1. you can not begin loading LPG from the gantry into the tanker unless
there is
a. bonding to begin, and ideally, there should be an entire checklist
of
safety precautions the driver must perform (OUTSIDE of their
vehicle,
before she is ever green-lighted for refilling).
b. a secondary wire, connecting tanker to auto-shut-offs on the gantry
loading
system. ...the intent being, if the tankers drives off while
forgetting to disengage the
pumping hose, this secondary wire trips a relay that shuts off the
pump
and activates a stop valve. this design is tried-and-true...years
of
fire / BLEVE preventions to prove it too.
2. bollords, bollords, bollords. these prevent drivers from smashing
pipes and pumps as they
approach and depart.
3. gantry ideally should be in an area that is a low spot, so the LPG
doesn't flow to other assets.
if it is, your exposure water will get under the tires.
4. by the way, the exposure water typically has enough heat to vaporize the
LPG faster than it would
already. Not a problem, just something to consider.
