EEMUA issues guidelines for liquefied gas storage tanks 01 May 2015

EEMUA has published a new (second) edition of its EEMUA 147 recommendations for refrigerated liquefied gas storage tanks.

The new publication covers outline information necessary for the categorisation, inspection and maintenance of single-, double- and full-containment tanks for the bulk storage of liquefied gases down to -165°C, and essentially at atmospheric pressure.

Liquids in scope of EEMUA 147 include LPG (liquefied petroleum gas), ethylene, ethane, LNG (liquefied natural gas) and similar hydrocarbons, as well as ammonia.

As well as an improved structure, new content in this edition includes expanded chapters on tank commissioning, operations and decommissioning, plus a new chapter on maintenance and inspection.

EEMUA Publication 147 is available from EEMUA through its online shop at www.eemua.org.

Alternatively orders can be placed by emailing sales@eemua.org, or by contacting the sales department on + 44 (0)207 488 0801.
