1. Ratio of HLL/D (High Liquid Level / Tank Inside Diameter)
The ratio of HLL/D shall be thoroughly decided in consideration of stability of
the inner tank at seismic
condition to determine the necessity of the anchorage on the inner tank that
are preferably to be eliminated
to avoid penetrations into the tank foundation slab.

2. Limit of the Inner Tank Height


(1) Soil Conditions
Survey of the inner tank height limit due to soil conditions shall be
thoroughly performed based on the
soil investigation report and preliminary tank foundation design including
implementation of the soil
improvement and/or piling shall also be performed simultaneously.
(2) Insulation Material Strength
Limitation of the inner tank height due to the allowable strength of bottom
insulation material including
safety factor and seismic load on the inner tank bottom. The inner tank
height may be increased up
to 40 m in consideration of design safety factor and allowable
compressive load for the insulation
material (cellular glass) and bottom pressure due to earthquake.

OTHER RESTRICTIONS & LIMITATIONS (6/6)
TO BE CONSIDERED FOR THE INNER TANK
SIZING (2/2)

3. Limit of the 9% Ni. Steel Shell Thickness


The maximum inner tank sizes subject to the maximum shall plate thickness
permitted are as follows:
BS 7777 : 40 mm (Type V improved 9% Ni steel)*
API 620 /ASTM A553 : 50.8 (2 in.) per ASTM A 553**

* : When material thickness are required in excess of the value,, additional


requirements to maintain the
same level of safety are to be agreed between purchaser and manufacturer.

**: The maximum thickness of plates is limited only by the capacity of the
material to meet the specified
mechanical property requirements; however, current mill practice normally
limits this material to 2 in. max.

Recently in-tank (submerged) pumps and pump columns are provided with not only full
containment tanks but also single containment tanks instead of wall and bottom connections
and penetrations as shown below, since the leakage of LNG to the atmosphere can be
minimized by avoiding all connections and penetrations on the tank below the maximum LNG

11. ROLLOVER PROTECTION (1/4)
1. What is Rollover?
Since the LNG stored in the refrigerated tank is naturally mixed by the convection at
top surface due to the boiling off
of LNG as shown in the following fig., the rollover will not occur unless receiving LNG
having different density into
same tank especially receiving heavier density of LNG into bottom level of the tank or
leaving the stored LNG long time.

11. ROLLOVER PROTECTION (2/4)
In consequence of the operation that receiving different density LNG into same tank
especially receiving heavier
density of LNG into bottom level of the tank or leaving stored LNG long time without
mixing and/or circulation;

(1) Light parts of LNG at upper layer will boil off due to heat transfer from the lower
layer to upper layer of LNG
(2) Density of upper layer will be heavier gradually due to the vaporization of light parts
of LNG

(3) In case that the density of upper LNG layer become equal to or more that that of
lower layer, the boiling off
of LNG stored at lower layer will occur due to the rollover suddenly

2. How to Protect Rollover
(1) Measurement of Density of LNG Stored at Every Level
To detect the phenomena of stratiform of LNG having different density, the LNG tank
shall be equipped with the level
gauging systems that are able to measure the density of LNG stored at any level of
LNG.
(2) To avoid the stratiform of LNG, the following counter measure(operation) shall be
taken.
- Restriction of the receiving of LNG having different density into same tank
- *Mixing of LNG stored using of jet nozzle
- *Receiving of heavier LNG from top part of the tank and lighter LNG from bottom
part of the tank Receiving of heavier LNG from
- *Circulation of LNG stored to mix lower layer and top top

1. General 12. BASIC DESIGN CONCEPT OF PC (PRE-STRESSED
The concept of LNG storage tank for Full Containment Type is that the outer tank is
intended to be capable both of CONCRETE) (1/2)
containing LNG and controlled venting of the vapor resulting from product leakage after
a credible event. The pre-stressed
concrete outer tank wall instead of the RC (Reinforced Concrete) outer tank wall with
the earth embankment is introduced
in 1990th to minimize tank area and construction cost.
The Pre-Stressing Concrete is common design technology and generally used for
construction of superstructures such as
bridges, etc.

3. Design Concept of Pre-stressed Concrete Outer Tank Wall

LNG Vapor
DESIGN CONCEPT OF PC (PRE-STRESSED
For the above corner protection, the carbon steel liner is used to provide and
impervious barrier against permeation CONCRETE)
by (2/2)
LNG vapor at the normal operation condition. Since the carbon steel liner is not
intended to contain LNG leakage from
the inner tank, in principle, the PC outer wall shall be designed considering that the
width of a crack on PC wall shall
not be more than 0.2 mm in case of LNG leakage.
Because of ice formation in pores the permeability is reduced at minimum design
temperature of LNG as compared
to normal temperature and it is planned to utilize this self-blocking effect.
(2) Residual Compressive Stress
In addition to the aforesaid allowable crack width on the PC outer wall, the residual
compressive stress zone shall be
15% of wall thickness, but not less than 80mm in case of LNG leakage as shown in the
following fig. T: THICKNESS OF PC OUTER
