Liquefied petroleum gases storage

Detectors for inflammable gas leak and warning devices must be provided. Vehicle parking should not be permitted in the vicinity of liquefied petroleum gases storage tanks due to chance of fire caused by sparks flying from exhaust pipes of the vehicles. All vehicles in the area must have spark arresters on their exhaust pipes.

Forklift Trucks The backbone of most in-plant handhng systems in the chemical industry is the forklift truck. Available in capacities ranging from 1 to 50 tons, the most commonly used are 1-, 1.5-, and 2-ton vehicles, with the 3-ton unit occasionally being used (Fig. 21-54). The trucks are usually powered by internal-coiTibustion engines that consume liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) or by electricity by means of storage Batteries.

Fuel modification in terms of volatility, hydrocarbon types, or additive content. Some of the fuels currently being used are liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed natural gas (CNG), fuels with alcohol additives, and unleaded gasoline. The supply of some of these fuels is very limited. Other fuel problems involving storage, distribution, and power requirements have to be considered. 

Therefore detailed reeommendations relate to the keeping of liquefied petroleum gas in eylinders and similar eontainers. General reeoimuendations for storage, oilier than on rooftops, are sunuiiarized in Tables 9.16-9.18.

However, the domestic and rural uses of liquefied petroleum gas have by no means been fully developed. Because of temporary shortages due to inadequate transportation or lack of storage in consuming areas in the years since the end of World War II, there has been some tendency to think that supplies of propane and butane might become short within the next few years. As an instance of this, an executive of a large motor manufacturer told the writer in 1949 that his company had lost interest in developing truck engines for butane because it felt that fuel supplies could not be relied upon. 

Storage and Transportation. Handling requirements are similar to liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Storage conditions are much milder. Butylenes are stored as liquids at temperatures ranging from 0 to 40°C and at pressures from 100 to 400 kPa (1—4 atm). These conditions are much lower than those required for LPG. Their transportation is also similar to LPG they are shipped in tank cars, transported in pipelines, or barged.

Salt caverns have been used to store Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) for a long time, but the technique is relatively recent for natural gas. It was introduced in the United States in 1961, in Saint-Clair County, Michigan. Today, there are around 60 storage facilities of this type world-wide, 27 are located in the US. The number of this type of storage is increasing rapidly (a lot of new projects especially in Western Europe). 

LPG (liquefied petroleum gas)— propane or (less commonly) butane, obtained by extraction from natural gas or from refinery processes. LPG has a vapor pressure sufficiently low to permit compression and storage in a liquid state at moderate pressures and normal ambient temperatures. Pressurized in metal bottles or tanks. LPG is easily handled and readily lends itself to a variety of applications as a fuel, refrigerant, and propellant in packaged aerosols. LPG is also called LP gas and bottled gas. See natural gas liquids. 

Liquefied petroleum gas propane, butane, or mixtures thereof, gaseous at atmospheric temperature and pressure, held in the liquid state by pressure to facilitate storage, transport, and handling. 

The main concern is the storage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) which in this context can be propane and butane feedstock or product, or ethylene and propylene. The storage of LPG is costly and there are various technologies which depend on the amount of material to be stored. 

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].
