BS EN 1473 : 1997 - Installation and equipment for liquefied natural gas - Design of onshore installations

Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 282, Installation and equipment for LNG, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.

This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by November 1997, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by November 1997. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

Introduction
The objective of this European Standard is to give functional guidelines for LNG installations. It recommends procedures and practices which will result in safe and environmentally acceptable design, construction and operation of LNG plants. It need not be applied retrospectively, but application is recommended when major modifications of existing installations are being considered.

Scope
This European Standard gives guidelines for the design, construction and operation of all onshore stationary liquefied natural gas (LNG) installations including those for the liquefaction, storage, vaporization, transfer and handling of LNG. Satellite plants with total storage capacity of less than 200 t are excluded from this European Standard. This European Standard is valid for the following plant types:

• export terminals, between the designated gas inlet boundary limit, and the ship manifold;
• receiving terminals, between the ship manifold and the designated gas outlet boundary limit;
• peak-shaving plants, between designated gas inlet and outlet boundary limits;
• LNG satellite plants with total storage capacity above 200 t, including the loading station up to the designated gas outlet boundary limit.

A short description of each of these installations is given in annex G.

Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies.
