Spotlight on Safety features in LPG storage yard incorporated by SMPV rules

Course Objective

To educate persons engaged in LPG related jobs in industry, resulting in better understanding and implementation of safety rules. (Training through videos)

Description

This set of videos is the recording of a training programme  conducted by me some time back, attended by many. I am uploading it for the benefit of all, who could not attend that programme for some reason or other. Interested persons can download it at some nominal cost and view it any time as per their convenience.

In India, LPG storage, inland transportation and distribution is controlled by Petroleum and Explosives dept. of Govt. of India, through SMPV rules, originally published in 1981 and amended from time to time to incorporate newer technologies and materials. It incorporates various safety features at every stage of LPG handling, storage and distribution; from design to end use.

These videos cover the lectures explaining the safety features, the principles underlying those and how they ensure safety when implemented properly.

This is a set of 8 videos, about 12 to 24min. each, needing totally 145min. Breaking up the subject in small videos helps in flexibility in timing for viewing. It will be useful to anyone associated with LPG business. I am sure that the viewers will like the new approach to the subject and find the presentation interesting and fully loaded with knowledge and information.  

As we all know, LPG is the most popular fuel for mass consumption in industries. Coal, Furnace oil, diesel are slowly replaced by LPG (Pure propane or propane-Butane mixture). The reason is higher burning efficiency, ease of handling, convenient storage, availability. It is popularly known as "Clean fuel" because less pollution caused by it. 

Thousands of medium and large size industries have storage installation, called LPG yard. They store anything from 5 ton to 500 tons of LPG. Trained operators are required for operation and maintenance of these yards. And prior to that , trained persons are required for design, manufacture, inspection, installation, and  commissioning.

 Enormous job opportunities exist and are ever increasing, at various stages, for office activities as well as field activities. Clarity about safety features at any location, is very essential for anyone working in close vicinity of LPG, and anyone who is involved in planning the facility, including design. This course will give that clarity, so that the rules can be better understood for actual implementation and  practice. You will be able to work more effectively, resulting in better prospect in existing job.
