New tank design enhances safety of transporting hazardous gases.
The article discusses ways to make liquefied gas transportation tanks safer from fires and explosions. Researchers found that current tank designs lack effective safety features, leading to accidents. By studying accidents and developing new methods, they improved tank safety. They analyzed accident data, created emergency plans, and enhanced tank design regulations. Using math models, they identified temperature and stress issues in tanks during fires. As a result, tanks now have better protection in emergencies. A unified safety policy for designing tanks is needed to prevent accidents.
