Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The LNG tank pressure limit is that which the tank is designed for. This value can be found on the mandatory nameplate of each equipment.
The only mandatory guideline in the manufacture of storage tanks is the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). The choice of the standard or code for its design and manufacture is the responsibility of the manufacturer. For all LNG equipment that is installed in Spain, the indications of the Spanish regulations on LNG facilities must be observed.
Periodic tests in LNG tanks must be carried out in compliance with the technical regulation for the distribution and use of gaseous fuels (RD 919/2006 and its successive modifications), in its Complementary Technical Instruction ITC-ICG 04 and ITC-ICG 05.
Each fluid has particular characteristics that must be taken into account. In some cases it will not be possible to store another fluid, or restrictions on the degree of filling must be taken into account. In other cases, it will be possible by making slight changes to the level measurement system.
According to Spanish regulations, a vacuum check is enough (it must be less than 0.6 mbar).
Although the only mandatory inspections are those indicated in the Gas Regulations and the Pressure Equipment Regulations, it is advisable to establish a shorter periodicity to carry out this check. Each maintenance company must mark a maximum period, according to their maintenance plan.
It is a circuit by which fluid is sent in the gas phase to the consumption pipe (normally the liquid phase). In this way, a rapid decrease in pressure in the tank is achieved, which can prevent the opening of safety valves. If there is no consumption, the economizer cannot perform its function.
There is no pre-established criterion. It is recommended to create vacuum (= reduce pressure) before reaching the value of 0.6 mbar.
