While fire protection has long been established in the oil and gas processing industry, the combination of fire protection and LNG spill protection (variously known as cold spill or cryogenic spill protection CSP) is relatively new for epoxy passive fire protection products. Codes such as EN 1473 and NFPA 59A require that the LNG support structure be resistant to, or protected from, cryogenic exposure and the latter can now be achieved with epoxy based products that provide cryogenic spill protection, passive fire protection and ‘life of asset’ durability. This paper discusses epoxy syntactic foam insulation and epoxy passive fire protection products and the testing of these relevant to LNG spills.
