Abstract: A review of todays standards pertaining to LNG facilities perhaps can best be approached through a brief history of standard writing activity over the past two decades and. in particular, following the development of NFPA No- 59A, Storage and Handling Liquefied Natural Gas. It is generally true that the writing of a code or standard occurs only after the need for one exists and emphasizes the special problems and responsibilities of being an innovator of a new process or concept. As a result of the failure in 1944 of the first commercial attempt to liquefy and store natural gas, the industry turned to LP-gas to meet its peak shaving needs. This resulted in the development and publishing in 1948 of NFPA No. 59. LP-Gases at Utility Gas Plants, which was followed in 1957 by API 2510, Design and Construction of Liquefied-Petroleuni Gas Installations at Marine and Pipeline Terminals, Natural-Gasoline Plants, Refineries, and Tank Farms. These standards covered atmospheric temperature storage. Provisions for refrigerated storage were added to NFPA No. 59 in 1962.
