Liberty Utilities to host LNG safety demo

EPPING — Liberty Utilities will host a safety demonstration of liquefied natural gas (LNG) Wednesday, July 31 with expert Erik Neandross at the Epping Middle School gymnasium.

The demonstration with Neandross will take place at 6 p.m. Liberty Utilities will have LNG on hand to do some live demonstrations, like making LNG in a balloon, pouring LNG onto the floor and on water, and attempting to light LNG.

The event comes as Liberty Utilities continues to work to gain approval to construct an LNG storage facility in West Epping as part of its proposed Granite Bridge project.

Neandross is a former professional firefighter with specialized training in LNG spill control and fire suppression. He has more than 25 years of experience with LNG and is an expert in the science and safety of the gas.

Prior to and after the LNG demonstration, members of the public are invited to speak one-on-one with Liberty Utilities experts to ask questions about the Granite Bridge project.
