DIN EN 1473:2014-07

This European Standard gives guidelines for the design, construction and operation of all onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) installations including those for the liquefaction, storage, vaporisation, transfer and handling of LNG. This European Standard is valid for plants with LNG storage at pressure lower than 0,5 bar and capacity above 200t and for the following plant types: - LNG liquefaction installations (plant), between the designated gas inlet boundary limit, and the outlet boundary limit which is usually the ship manifold and/or truck delivery station when applicable; feed gas can be from gas field, associated gas from oil field, piped gas from transportation grid or from renewables. - LNG regasification installations (plant), between the ship manifold and the designated gas outlet boundary limit; - peak-shaving plants, between designated gas inlet and outlet boundary limits - the fix part of LNG bunkering station . The plants with storage capacity between 5 and 200 t are covered by EN 13645 whilst storage capacity above 200 t will be covered by the prEN xxxx. Floating solutions (FPSO, FSRU, SRV), whatever off-shore or nearby shore, are not covered by this European standard even if some concepts, principles or recommendations could be applied. However, in case of berthed FSRU with LNG transfer across the jetty, the following recommendations shall apply for the jetty and topside facilities if the jetty is located within 3000 m from the shore line. In case of FSU type solution, the tank safety functions as defined in clause 6 shall be checked and implemented. The on-shore part is covered by these standard recommendations. excluded from this European Standard.
