Propane Standby Systems: An Overview

11 Security, Training & Documentation
Security
Security measures at LPG plants should include physical barriers such as perimeter fencing and/or locked enclosures. Access to a facility should normally be limited to trained personnel.
Training &
Documentation
Standby system owners and operators need to understand the basic properties and hazards of gaseous fuels as well as operating and maintenance requirements of a specific system. A wealth of materials is available to assist with generic safety training for LP-gas.
A well-documented design and as-built construction record can help ensure long-term success in operating and maintaining a standby plant. Detailed operating instructions, tailored to a specific system, are a must. These areas can be addressed early in the design process.
