Are there any requirements regarding the height of the fire dike for the LNG storage tanks at LNG receiving stations? What is the maximum allowable height? Is it reasonable to make it 4 meters high?
The height of the liquid barrier must be determined based on the type, volume, and floor area of the LNG storage tank. There are the latest design specifications for liquid barriers available on forums; it is recommended to familiarize yourself with them!
It’s explained very clearly in this specification; there’s no need to reply.
If the horizontal space is not sufficient, it is possible to increase the vertical dimension by 4 meters; this is no problem, but safety measures for evacuation must be in place
Use half of the maximum tank volume as the leakage amount, divided by the total area of the tank area
