Safety

Bradwood Landing is committed to creating the model by which all others will be judged for safely transporting, transferring, re-gasifying and sending out clean, reliable, affordable natural gas.

 

What is LNG? 

 

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is natural gas cooled to -260 degrees Fahrenheit to make its transportation easier and cheaper. When it is warmed it vaporizes to form the same natural gas we use to heat and cool our homes, cook our food and operate our businesses.

 

The safest fossil fuel, LNG is odorless, non-toxic, non-corrosive and lighter than water. LNG as a liquid cannot burn or explode under any circumstances. It is NOT stored or transported under pressure and contains no oxygen to react with the fuel. Less dense than air, LNG floats on water and won’t mix with soil – and leaves no residue before evaporating.

 

LNG releases its energy slowly. It cannot be released rapidly enough to cause the excess “overpressure” needed to cause an explosion. LNG vapors – which are otherwise known as “methane” – when mixed with air are simply not explosive in an unconfined environment.
