There was a minor leak in a temporary transport container of ethylene gas on the QCLNG site overnight. As a precautionary measure, we immediately implemented our safety procedures across the site and workers remained indoors. A full risk assessment was undertaken and there was no risk to workers, who are expected to return to work soon. The gas in the container was released to the flare for controlled burning – a standard procedure. The regulators have been kept fully informed. WHAT IS ETHYLENE Ethylene is used in the process to ripen various fruits – such as bananas. WHERE IS ETHYLENE USED ON SITE Ethylene is neither produced nor consumed in the LNG plant. The ethylene is used as a refrigerant, which means it is cycled through compression, cooling, and expansion, which makes it very cold. It then absorbs heat energy from the natural gas stream, cooling the plant feed gas in stages.
