3、ING EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS USERS ASSOCIATION The Engineering Equipment and Materials Users Association, more commonly known as EEMUA, is a European non-profit membership Association helping companies that own or operate industrial facilities - the users of engineering equipment and materials. EEMUA

4、 aims to improve the safety, environmental and operating performance of industrial facilities in the most cost-effective way, thereby demonstrating and pursuing leadership in asset management. EEMUA Members pursue these aims through collaboration for mutual benefit, sharing engineering experiences a

5、nd expertise and by promoting their distinct interests as the users of engineering products. Specifically, the aims of EEMUA Member companies are achieved by: providing the organisation within which networking, information sharing and collaboration on non-competitive technical matters can take place

6、; influencing the way written regulations are interpreted and applied in practice; presenting and promoting Members views, and encouraging the application of good, sound engineering practices; developing user guides, specifications, training and competency schemes; facilitating Members participation

7、 in national and international standards making; influencing relevant national and European legislation and regulations. Formed in 1949 as the Engineering Equipment Users Association, and re-named in 1983 (as a result of taking over the materials association, OCMA), EEMUA has for more than fifty yea

8、rs given companies that own and operate process plants, power stations and other significant industrial facilities, a collaborative voice in addressing technical and engineering related issues that impact on good integrity management and asset management practices. The Association is open to compani

9、es of all sizes that meet its engineering user criteria. Further details of current Members of EEMUA is available on the Associations website, www.eemua.org. EEMUA activities often lead to the production of publications. These are prepared for Members use and are often offered for sale as well. A li

10、st of EEMUA publications for sale is given at the end of this Publication. The full list is also on the Associations website, including details of on-line shopping facilities.

35、ication Standards This Publication refers throughout to International, European and British Standards. Standards are prepared to ensure that only proven techniques are used and that materials employed are suitable for the purpose. Through the adoption and use of standards, the requirements for essen

36、tial safety should be met. The use of standards is not a legal requirement in some countries in Europe and around the world. However it is stressed that, where a contract is placed which states that manufacture is to be in accordance with specified standards, then this may be determined as a legal r

37、equirement. Manufacturers or suppliers of equipment may offer equipment not conforming to standards, but, in such cases, they should have to be able to prove that all legislation concerning essential safety has been complied with. This could be a time consuming and expensive task. Users Responsibili

38、ty Users of this Publication should satisfy themselves that the sections of this Publication they are using are relevant to the application being considered, that they are correctly applied and that, to the best of their knowledge, no legislative changes have taken place affecting this Publications

Introduction and Scope Double concrete storage tanks are a recognised method for storing liquefied natural gas (LNG). However, until recent times they have been rarely

41、used. In the main, tanks have been constructed from 9% nickel steel and the guidance given in EEMUA Publication 147 has been widely used when designing and building these types of tanks. However, the soaring price of 9% nickel steel in the first decade of the 21st century has meant an increasing int

42、erest in the use of double-walled concrete tanks and a number of contractors have started to offer designs to the market place. Research into the use of concrete for liquefied gas applications dates back to the 1950s. Commercial application for LNG storage began in the late 1960s and tanks construct

43、ed then are still in operation today. These tanks were designed and constructed without having established codes and guidelines for concrete in refrigerated conditions. In the intervening years, all tanks have become subject to greater scrutiny and this has, in turn, meant that codified guidance has

44、 been required to ensure that levels of safety and reliability expected today can be properly specified and tested. Interest in concrete tanks has been rekindled following a 25 year hiatus. In part, this has been a response to a perceived need for tanks to be built more swiftly and economically. In

45、recent years, a number of tank designs have been proposed to meet this need. Some of the concrete tank designs now being proposed are direct descendants of the tanks still in service. These generally use concrete for strength and metallic liners to meet liquid tightness requirements (however, unline

46、d tanks have been used for the storage of liquid oxygen). For concrete tank designs, the owner should pay attention to those details that are novel, to the means of ensuring the liner is designed and constructed to work well in refrigerated conditions and to the integrity of the interface between th

47、e concrete and steel elements. Other designs have aimed to exploit further the inherently good performance of concrete at cryogenic temperatures by eliminating metallic liners on the primary container. Codes of practice acknowledge that well-constructed concrete which is maintained in compression ca

48、n be considered liquid tight. However, to ensure that this level of liquid-tightness is delivered, the owner should recognise that more stringent steps should be taken to ensure that good workmanship coupled with a thorough quality assurance and testing regime are provided. Unlined primary container

49、s may not completely prevent small amounts of product reaching the outside surface of the primary container as liquid. In these circumstances, the owner may either decide that the quantities of liquid involved have negligible impact on the reliable operation of the tank or may ask for additional measures to be implemented to reduce permeation. These might include the provision of a stripping pump in the annular space or the introduction of a liner. The adoption of concrete for prima
