Title: Secondary Containment For LNG Using 3D Insuiation

Abstract: This paper presents insulation configurations for LNG secondary containment systems using a three-dimensionally reinforced insulation. The outer structure in concert with these insulation systems provides complete and safe containment of the cryogenic liquid spill which would resuh from a failure of the inner tank. These insulation system designs greatly mitigate the effect of an inner tank failure by greatly reducing the resultant vapor generation and moderating the temperature depression of the outer tank. Confidence in the ability to provide the desired level of performance is based on analyses and tests demonstrating the material properties of 3D insulation, its ability to maintain a liquid barrier and its high tolerance to the inevitable flaws in any structure of significant size. In addition, the paper presents site installation and quality control techniques, and beneficial design tradeoffs.
