| Abstract |
LPG is stored and handled in liquefied form under pressure. LPG storage systems are spreading rapidly across India. The large inventories in bottling plants and at user industries have lead to anxiety among industrial workers, the neighbouring public and government authorities. This article presents the results of a survey of the potential damage that could result from gas explosions following accidental release at a number of industrial sites in North India. |
