It recommends procedures and practices which will result in safe and environ
14、mentally 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.1 ScopeThis European Standard gives guidelines for the design, construction and operati

40、(Liquefied Natural Gas) is defined in EN 1160.3.2 LNG export terminalIn an LNG export terminal, the natural gas coming by pipe from one or several gas fields is liquefied then stored for subsequent transport to other destinations.3.3 LNG receiving terminalIn LNG receiving terminals, LNG carriers (sh
41、ips) are unloaded, LNG is stored in tanks, vaporized and sent to the gas networks or gas consumers. LNG receiving terminals can have loading stations for road, rail, barge or small LNG carriers.3.4 LNG peak-shaving plantLNG Peak-shaving plants are connected to a gas network. During the period of the
42、 year when gas demand is low, natural gas is liquefied and LNG is stored. LNG is vaporized during short periods, when gas demand is high.3.5 LNG satellite plantLNG satellite plants are connected to a gas network or gas consumers. LNG is supplied by road tankers, rail, barge or small LNG carriers. LN
43、G is stored in insulated pressure vessels, vaporized and sent to the network.3.6 actionsActions (sometimes referred to as loads) are forces and couples of forces due to the loads and deformations which are imposed on an item of equipment.3.7 combined actionsActions are classified in three categories
44、:permanent actions for which intensity is constant or does not vary very much or always varies in the same direction while tending to a limit;variable actions for which intensity is not constant. Variations are due essentially to actions during construction， testing, commissioning and normal operati
45、on of the installations, atmospheric conditions and operating basis earthquake (OBE);accidental actions for which intensity is not constant. Its variations are due essentially to accidental internal or external actions including the safe shutdown earthquake (SSE).Actions are combined to obtain two t
46、ypes of combined actions:normal actions are combinations of actions which are permanent and variable;augmented actions are the combination of normal actions and a single accidental action. Unless otherwise stated，accidental actions in combination need not be considered.3.8 hazardsA physical situatio
47、n which has the potential for human injury, damage to property, damage to the environment or some combination of these.3.9 tankThe word tank used in this standard corresponds to the equipment item in its entirety for the retention of LNG. The different types of tank are described in annex H.3.10 OBE
48、（Operating Basis Earthquake)An OBE, defined for any installation, is the maximum earthquake for which no damage is sustained and restart and safe operation can continue. This higher probability event would result in no commercial loss to the installation and public safety is assured. An OBE event sh
49、all require a structural assessment to be carried out at the serviceability limit state.3.11 SSE (Safe Shutdown Earthquake)An SSE, defined for any installation, is the maximum earthquake event for which the essential fail-safe functions and mechanisms are designed to be preserved. Permanent damage can be expected of this lower probability event, but without the loss of overall integrity and containment. The installation woul
