Insulating LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) storage tank containment dikes with a lightweight polymer concrete
The natural gas industry has always been concerned with accidential spills of liquified natural gas (LNG) from storage tanks into surrounding containment dikes. The LNG that is leaked to the dike area boils off and the vapors mix with the atmosphere forming a hazardous explosive mixture within the dike walls. These hazardous-mixtures can travel long distances into industrial or residential areas surrounding LNG storage facilities. Studies by the natural gas industry indicate that the hazards associated with accidential spills of LNG from storage tanks can be markedly reduced by insulating the diked areas surrounding these tanks. In this manner, the heat transfer from the dike surface to the LNG is reduced. The insulating composite is used to construct a thermal barrier between the walls and floor of the dike and the spilled LNG. The thermal conductivity, porosity, and compression strength of a concrete, polymer compoosite insualting material is discussed.
