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 200t 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 200t, 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.
