I think reading BS EN 1160 makes my writing ideas grows. As a follow of of this post (LNG Basics: Understanding Its Typical Properties), I want to share you what I read and browsed about Rollover in LNG Storage Tank.

Rollover in one of physical phenomena explained in BS EN 1160, other than Rapid Phase Transition (RPT) and Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion (BLEVE).

Rollover refer to process whereby large quantities of gas can be emitted from an LNG storage tank over a short period of time. How this could happen? Read More

Predicting Holding Time of LNG in Storage Tank Without Venting

In this post, we use vacuum insulated type LNG storage tank when we don’t want to deal with boil-off gas handling. The storage tank have design pressure as high as 6-10 barg. When we store LNG in the LNG, boil-off gas will be generated due to heat leak to tank. Increasing temperature of LNG will increase total volume of LNG and vapor in the tank, thus increasing its pressure.

This phenomena leads to a simple question, “How long can LNG storage tank keep the vapor before PSV works?” Read More
