Download or read book Design and Construction of LNG Storage Tanks written by Josef Rötzer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-08-15 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weltweit wird die Nutzung von Erdgas als Primärenergieträger noch über Jahrzehnte unverzichtbar bleiben. Dies gilt sowohl für Industrie- und Schwellenländer als auch für Entwicklungsländer. Bedingt durch die geringen Verunreinigungen gilt Erdgas unter den fossilen Brennstoffen als ein klimaschonender, da CO2-Emissionen armer, aber auch als ein bezahlbarer Energieträger. Um den Transport über weite Strecken wie auch über Ozeane zu ermöglichen - und damit eine wirtschaftliche und politische Alternative zu Pipelines zu erzeugen - wird das Gas unter erheblicher Volumenreduktion verflüssigt und mit Schiffen transportiert. An den Export- und Importhäfen sind Flüssiggastanks zur temporären Lagerung und zur weiteren Nutzung erforderlich. Die Tendenz zu kleineren Verflüssigungs- bzw. Verdampfungsanlagen mit den zugehörigen Lagertanks für die Nutzung als Schiffstreibstoff hat neue Marktteilnehmer hervorgebracht, die oftmals noch nicht über die erforderliche Erfahrung und technische Kompetenz verfügen. Der Verweis auf alle vorhandenen Normen reicht nicht aus, um widerspruchsfreie und dem Stand der Technik entsprechende Vorgaben und Anforderungen zu definieren. Durch die Umstellung auf europäische Normung wurden die Überarbeitung und Anpassung der vorhandenen nationalen Normen auf einen europäischen Standard unumgänglich. Komitees und Normenausschüsse auf nationaler und internationaler Ebene haben die Arbeit aufgenommen, um die Normenreihe EN 14620 zu aktualisieren und zu ergänzen. Aber auch in den USA werden die entsprechenden Vorschriften aktualisiert. Die Überarbeitung der 2011 erstmals erschienenen amerikanischen Vorschrift des American Concrete Institute ACI 376 "Requirements for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures for the Containment of Refrigerated Liquefied Gases" wird im Frühjahr 2019 abgeschlossen und die Vorschrift mit detaillierten Angaben zu Planung und Ausführung im Herbst veröffentlicht. Das vorliegende Buch gibt einen Überblick über den Stand der Technik hinsichtlich Planung und Ausführung von Flüssigerdgastanks (LNG-Tanks). Da die Thematik sehr umfangreich und vielschichtig ist, wird hier eine Einführung in die einzelnen Bereiche gegeben, wie zum Beispiel Anforderungen und Auslegung im Betriebszustand, thermische Auslegung, Flüssigkeits- und Gasdruckprüfung, Untersuchung des Baugrunds und zulässige Setzungen, Berechnung und Modellierung der Betonstruktur sowie die besonderen Einwirkungen aus Feuer, Explosion und Impact. Auch die dynamische Berechnung mit der Theorie der schwappenden Flüssigkeit wird dargestellt.

Download or read book Ullmann s Industrial Toxicology written by Wiley-VCH and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-10-28 with total page 1193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The one-stop resource for health protection professionals, environmental scientists and safety engineers. Since the entire 40-volume Ullmann's Encyclopedia is inaccessible to many readers - particularly individuals, smaller companies or institutes - all the information on industrial toxicology, ecotoxicology, process safety as well as occupational health and safety has been condensed into this convenient 2-volume set. Based on the latest online edition of Ullmann's containing articles never been before in print, this ready reference provides practical information on applying the science of toxicology in both the occupational and environmental setting, and explains the fundamentals necessary for an understanding of the effects of chemical hazards on humans and ecosystems. The detailed and meticulously edited articles have been written by renowned experts from industry and academia, and much of the information has been thoroughly revised. Alongside explanations of safety regulations and legal aspects, this set covers food additives, toxic agents as well as medical and therapeutical issues. Top-quality illustrations, clear diagrams and charts combined with an extensive use of tables enhance the presentation and provide a unique level of detail. Deeper insights into any given area of interest is offered by referenced contributions, while rapid access to a particular subject is enhanced by both a keyword and author index.

This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the Second World War the demand of energy has undergone an exponential growth that has led to a sharp annual increase in the use of natural gas in both, cities and thermal power stations. Nowadays, the strategic relevance of natural gas as a main source of energy is evident with a contribution of more than 20% of the total world consumption. This development in increasing demand of natural gas has led for a need of suitable storage and transportation infrastructure. Various gases, especially hydrocarbons, are preferably stored in liquid form for transportation and storage since the phase transformation from gas to liquid comes with a significant reduction of the volume (e.g. up to 600 times). Gases can be liquefied by raising the pressure or by cooling to their boiling point, which for most gases is below 0°C. This is known as cryogenic storage. The term cryogenic is derived from two Greek words, namely kryos meaning icy-cold and genes which can be translated as shape. These fib recommendations are concerned about post-tensioning systems used in cryogenic tanks and have been formulated on the basis of actual available knowledge with the aim to reflect the current state of the art. Consequently, these recommendations have included a classification of the different cryogenic tanks typologies used in the past and nowadays, the associated different tendon types depending on their exposure to low temperature (e.g. never, only accidentally or during normal tank operation) and the testing regime required for acceptance of the materials and the post-tensioning system according to this document. An international working group comprising more than 20 experts from administrative authorities, universities, laboratories, owners, structural designers, suppliers of prestressing steels and post-tensioning systems suppliers have actively contributed in order to develop these recommendations. This text has been written to cover best construction practices around the world, and to provide material specifications which are considered to be the most advanced available at the time of preparing this text. For ease of use (for Owner, Designer and Post-tensioning System Supplier), the content has been arranged systematically according to the system components into chapters focusing on performance characteristics, requirements and acceptance criteria.
