Abstract: The most significant special feature of Philadelphia Electric Companys LNG plant is the 63-foot high prestressed. post-tensioned circular concrete dike. The high dike is intended to improve safety through a reduction in the vaporization rate of the LNG in the event of a spill, thereby decreasing the distance of downwind flammable vapor travel. Vapor formation was further reduced by insulating the dike floor with cryogenic insulation (polyurethane foam). The dike walls were insulated on the inside surfaces with a mineral insulation primarily to shield the con* crete from flame in the event of ignition after a spill. Other unusual features of the plant are internal shut-off valves in the tank discharge lines, horizontal submergedmotor sendout pumps and electrical boil-off heaters.
