Summary
Investigation of the Hammerfest LNG turbine air-intake fire examines likely pre-filter auto-ignition during hot-oil circulation with the turbine stopped. Site inspections, interviews, fire tests and CFD modelling inform findings on filter maintenance, undocumented operating practices, organisational capacity, detection and firewater coverage, alongside evacuation and vessel-assisted firefighting.
