Understanding Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Fuel Facility Code
September 17th, 2013 by Fiedler Group
The cost advantage of natural gas over petroleum has fueled an increase in the number of natural gas-powered vehicles being put into service, which resulted in heightened interest in the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of LNG engine fuel dispensing facilities.
As interests in alternative fuels increase, so too does the proper application and interpretation of established codes and standards associated with these new fuel dispensing systems.
A true demonstration of our ongoing commitment to understanding national codes and standards on behalf of our clients, Fiedler Group President, Patrick Fiedler authored a comprehensive white paper analysis of liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel facility codes and standards, with a concentration on 2009 IFC Chapter 22 and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 52 – Vehicular Gaseous Fuel Systems code.
Included in the white paper is:
- Introduction to codes and stardards
- Analysis of 2009 IFC Chapter 22
- Analysis of NFPA 52 — Chapter 12 – LNG Fueling Facilities
- Analysis of NFPA 52 — Chapter 15 — LNG Fire Protection
- Analysis of NFPA 52 — Chapter 16 — Installation Requirements for ASME Tanks for LNG
