Abstract

LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) vehicles in metropolitan area are being applied to improve air quality and have been proven effective for the reduction of air pollutant. In addition, the demand of gas as an eco-friendly energy source has being increased. With the LPG filling station is also increasing every year. These gas stations are required to install the securest storage tank because of possibility of causing huge loss of life and property. Therefore, in this paper, underground containment type is proposed as installation of the LPG storage tank using Taguchi method, which is considered to be more safe, economical, efficient, easy checking and simple construction method than any other. If leakage, economics, real estate utilization rate, safety, easy to check, simple construct about above ground, buried underground and underground containment storage tank are analyzed by Taguchi method, real estate utilization rate, economic and safety in turn are improved. Therefore, the underground containment storage tank is a optimal installation technology.
