Abstract

The containment philosophy has been well defined by European and North American regulations e.g. EN 1473, NFPA 59A for the flat bottom LNG storage tanks. However, such established definition is missing for the pressurized storage tanks. An outlook will be given to the latest development of the prEN 1473 regarding the containment philosophy and the related safety design of the pressurized LNG storage tanks. The definition of the possible tank leakage will be discussed based on fracture mechanics and event probabilities for both atmospheric and pressurized storage tanks.
