Distance requirements between LNG storage tanks and buried oil pipelines
Thread Content
I would like to ask the experts: what is the safe distance between LNG storage tanks and buried oil pipelines? I couldn’t find this information in any standards.
GB50183 does not have a direct one. 1. Reference can be made to Table 4.1.9 of GB50160; for LNG storage tanks, the provisions applicable to liquefied hydrocarbon storage tanks shall be used, with a distance of 30 meters from the oil transfer pipelines. However, note clause 4.1.8: regional oil (gas) pipelines should not pass through the plant area. 2. Refer to the Design Code for Natural Gas Liquefaction Plants (draft for comments) prepared by Editor-in-Chief Guo of Shaanxi Fuel Research Institute; Table 4.0.6 specifies that the distance between the LNG storage tank and the regional flammable liquid storage tanks should be 50 m.
