API PUBL 2510A Document Information:
Title
Fire-Protection Considerations for the Design and Operation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) Storage Facilities
American Petroleum Institute
Publication Date:
Dec 1, 1996
Scope:
1.1 Scope
1.1.1 This publication addresses the design, operation, and
maintenance of LPG storage facilities from the standpoints of
prevention and control of releases, fire protection design, and
fire-control measures. The history of LPG storage facility failure,
facility design philosophy, operating and maintenance procedures, and
various fire protection and firefighting approaches are presented.
This publication, since it supplements API Standard 25 10 and provides
the basis for many of the requirements stated in that standard, must
be used in conjunction with API Standard 2510. In case of conflict,
API Standard 2510 shall prevail. Alternate designs are acceptable
provided equal safety can be demonstrated.
1.1.2 The storage facilities covered by this publication are LPG
installations (storage vessels and associated
loading/unloading/transfer systems) at marine and pipeline terminals,
natural gas processing plants, refineries, petrochemical plants, and
tank farms. The following types of LPG installations are not
addressed:
a. Underground storage, such as buried tanks, storage caverns, salt
domes, or wells.
b. Mounded storage tanks.
c. Refrigerated storage at pressures below 15 pounds per square inch
gauge.
d. Installations covered by API Standard 2508.
e. Installations covered by NFPA Standards 58 or 59.
f. Department of Transportation (DOT) containers.
g. Those portions of LPG systems covered by NFPA 54 (ASME Z223.1).
h. Small installations with a single LPG tank of less than 2000-gallon
capacity.
i. Process equipment for LPG manufacturing of treatment preceding LPG
storage.
