Since the dehydration packages of offshore plant deal directly with oil & gas, there is a great risk of fire and explosion during operation. Therefore, this study performed risk assessment through HAZard & OPerability (HAZOP) for solid desiccant dehydration package that can remove water component of natural gas in offshore floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) production facilities below 0.1 ppmv. The risk matrix was determined by dividing the likelihood and the severity into five levels separately by asset, life, environment and reputation. The piping & instrumentation diagram (P&ID) of the dehydration package was divided into 9 nodes. Total 22 deviations were assessed in consideration of the adsorption and desorption conversion cycle. A risk assessment based on deviations revealed 14 major hazards. Three representative types of hazards were open/close failure of the control valve, control failure of the heater, and abnormal operation of the regeneration gas cooler. Finally, we proposed the installation of additional safety devices to improve safety against these major hazards, such as safety instrumented functions, alarms, etc.

The global demand for Liquefied Natural Gas(LNG) continues to increase and is facing a big cycle. To keep pace with the increase in international demand for LNG, the demand for LNG fueled ships is also increasing. Since LNG fuel tanks are operated in a cryogenic environment, insulation technology is very important, and although there are various types of insulation applied to Type C tanks, multi-layer insulation and vacuum insulation are typically applied. Powder insulation materials are widely used for storage and transportation of cryogenic liquids in tanks with such a complex insulation structure. In this study, compression tests at room and cryogenic temperature were performed on closed perlite, glass bubble, and fumed silica, which are representative powder insulation material candidates. Finally, the applicability to the Type C fuel tank was reviewed by analyzing the experimental results of this study.

The convergence industry is a combination of technologies or industries of the same type or various types, thereby maintaining and/or expanding the existing values or creating fresh values. As the industry is drawing greater attention over the world, each country is making huge efforts to provide support for it. GeoSpatial Information is a representative convergence industry characterized by being utilized as a basis for other industrial fields by being linked and fused with other industries and technologies. It is well recognized as being a promising industry that will likely lead the national economy in the future. GeoSpatial Information is necessary to analyze the distinctive features and obstacle factors of the convergence industry. Because it will be able to induce a smooth convergence among different industries. In this paper, we has segmented the support elements through a comparative analysis of the legal system related to (Nano Technology, Information and Communication Technology, Culture Technology, etc)the convergence industry. Based on this proposed policy support for GeoSpatial Information Convergence industry. We expect that this study will be used as basic data of the policy established to effectively support for the GeoSpatial Information convergence industry.
