Liquefied petroleum gas Storage of LPC at Eixed Installations (HSE, HSG 34) Storage and Use of LPC at Metered Estates (HSE, CSll) Storage and Use of LPC on Construction Sites (HSE, CS6) Keeping of LPC in Cylinders and Similar Containers (HSE, CS4)... 

For years, the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) industry has used pressurized underground liquefied gas storage. This technique has been applied to ammonia also. DuPont has operated a rock cavern in the United States with a capacity of 20 0001. Norsk Hydro has one in Norway at 50 000 t. Because of the contaminants occurring in liquid ammonia stored this way and the lack of suitable construction sites, no further storage facilities of this kind have been built for a long time. Underground fertilizer ammonia storage was planned in Russia [1310]. 

Cylindrical storage tanks for inflammable liquids above and underground at or near atmospheric pressure are subject to standards and codes of Underwriter Laboratory (www.ul.com), or the American Petroleum Institute (www.api.org), or regulations of the EPA. The Underwriter Laboratory covers small tanks up to 25,000 gals. Both sets of standards are restricted to steel construction for noncorrosive service. Manufacturers often fabricate and supply Underwriter or API tanks as a matter of course. The latest standards can be obtained by visiting the above web sites.
