Abstract
During the past few years there has been a growing interest in utilizing heavy gases as energy sources. These gases are usually found in remote areas. In order to bring the gases to market, they are liquified (e.g. liquified natural gas LNG and liquified petroleum gas LPG), transported and stored in refrigerated pressurized tanks. Because this type of fuel is both flammable and toxic, an accidental release has serious consequences.
