In this study, the FE analysis has been presented for the leakage safety of $9\%$ nickel type LNG storage tank based on the thermal resistance effects between insulation panels, comer protection and prestressed concrete(PC) structures. The FEM calculated results show that the leakage safety of fiber glass blanket, perlite powder and cellular glass insulators does not guarantee any more due to a strength failure of the insulation structure. But the corner protection and PC structure of outer tank may delay or sustain the leaked LNG of 10 days even though the inner tank and insulation structure are simultaneously failed. This means that $9\%$ nickel steel type LNG storage tank may be safe because of a high strength of the corner protection and outer tank structures.

In order to study the effect of modified atmosphere packaging(M.A.P.) and controlled atmosphere(C. A.) storage on keeping freshness of mushrooms (Agricus-bisporus). Mushrooms was packaged with polyethylene(P.E.) film (40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 60${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and C.A. conditions(CO2 concentration of 2%, O2 concentration of 2%) and storage at 0$\pm$1$^{\circ}C$, RH(relative hummidity) 92$\pm$1%. Gas composition in film was changed rapidly at early of storage, but it kept a constant level after 14 days of storage, and then kept at the level of 6~9% CO2 and 2~5% O2. Weight loss was 5% in non-packed mushrooms after 3 days of storage, but P.E. film, CO2 treated, C.A. conditions were 5% after 21 days of storage. Flesh firmness of the mushrooms was continuously decreased throughout storage period and the lowest of flesh firmness changed was 80${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$-P.E. film packing. Discoloration of the piteous of mushrooms appears to be the most Important factors to determine its marketability, L value of it appears to be of the high values at P.E. film packing and C.A. conditions during period. Large amount of ethanol and acetaldehyde were produced from the 7 days during storage, large contents of mannitol and trehalose were at the 14 days and 7 days during storage.

To develop a wrapping film, which suppresses the microbial decay through the storage and distribute of greenhouse fresh produce, the antimicrobial packaging films were made and applied to the preservation of grapes(Campbell early). For the purpose the films were made by adding 1% grapefruit seed extract(GFSE) to LDPE film(Control). Graps were separately wrapped with packaging films in the state of closely-adhered packaging as well as modified atmosphere packaging(MAP). The wrapped grapes were stored at 5$^{\circ}C$ for 65 days and then the colony count of contaminated microorganims, decay ration of grapes, the gas component within the packages and chemical qualities were investigated. The antimicrobial film packaging showed the efficient results to suppress microbial growth as compared with control. The total number of containated microorganisms were decreased gradually through all the storage period. In the closely-adhered packaging and MAP the decay ratios of grapes was 31% and 19%, indivisually. After the storage period of 65 days, the interior gas components of MAP were 4.5% of O2 and 17.6% of CO2, which were efficient for the storage of grapes. In addition, no negative effects in sweetness and acidities occurred.

In this study, we investigated the conversion performance of de-NOx catalyst for lean-burn natural gas engine. As a de-NOx catalyst, NOx storage reduction catalyst was composed of Pt, Pd and Rh with washcoat including Ba and Ni, Ru-ZSM-5. Ni, Ru-ZSM-5, which was regarded as a NOx direct decomposition catalyst, was made up of ion exchanged ZSM-5 by 5wt.% Ni or Ru. The performance of de-NOx catalyst was evaluated by NOx storage capacity and catalytic reduction in air/fuel, $\lambda=1.6$. The catalytic reaction was also observed when the added fuel was supplied to fuel rich atmosphere by fuel spike period of 5 seconds. The NOx conversion of the catalysts with Ni-ZSM-5 or Ru-ZSM-5 was mainly caused by the effect of NOx adsorption of Ba rather than the catalytic reduction of Ni, Ru-ZSM-5. Ni, Ru-ZSM-5 catalysts can not use for the NSR catalyst because they have quick process in thermal deactivation.

This paper deals with parametric studies for the structural response of LNG Storage Tank steel roof behavior acoording to change in design condition. In the design of steel roof, it may be required to represent a stable behavior under many loading conditions and those of combinations. We fulfill the analysis the steel roof behavior during concret placing and additionally change the design variabls like H beam, pressure and steel roof plate thickness. On the basis of the obtained results from this studies a guideline for a more reasonable design of LNG storage tank steel roof is introduced.

The connection part (corbel) between bottom slab and side wall in inground LNG storage tank has hinge conditions partly fixed by using anchor bars to reduce stress concentration. The corbel deforms in both radial and vertical directions under load conditions of the LNG tank such as LNG temperature, hydraulic pressure, etc. Membrane is an important part from the viewpoint of design because the deformation of the corbel is transformed directly to the membrane and superposed with other deformations. Behavior of the corbel has been investigated through various sensors to measure temperature, load and displacement. And the test data have been compared with finite element results analysis to propose a more reasonable design of LNG storage tank.

LNG demand has been rapidly increasing in Korea for a variety of reasons including stable supply, non-polluting, and high combustion efficiency characteristics. One of the most important structural core element of the LNG storage tank is the membrane, consisting of stainless steel. The membrane to be applied inside of LNG storage tank is provided with corrugations to absorb thermal contraction and expansion caused by LNG temperature. Experimental studies are presented to investigate the deformation and strength of the membrane which is designed by Kogas. All experiments are conducted on the basis of RPIS, and we found the results is fully satisfied with the RPIS.

CCS (Carbon Capture and Storage) is considered as the most promising interim solution to deal with the greenhouse gas such as $CO_2$ responsible for global warming. Even though carefully chosen geologic formations are known to contain stored gas for a long time period, there are potential risks of leakage. Up to now, applicable risk assessment procedures for the leakage of $CO_2$ are not available. This study presents a basis for risk analysis applicable to a complex geologic storage system. It starts with the classification of potential leakage pathways. Receptors and the leakage effect on them are identified and quantified. Then, a fault tree is constructed, which yields the minimum cut set (i.e., the most vulnerable leakage pathway) and quantifies the probability of the leakage risk through the cut set. The methodology will provide a tool for risk assessment in a CCS project. The outcomes of the assessment will not only ensure the safety of the CCS system but also offer a reliable and efficient monitoring plan.

The membrane for LNG storage tank behaves linearly in macroscopic view, but behaves elasto-plastically in some local areas, and has the structure undergoing both tension and bending. That is, the membrane is not able to be evaluated with the fatigue characteristics of the material, and it is so difficult to evaluate the membrane with a real big model because of the difficulty of imposing complex loads. Therefore, a prediction formula fur the fatigue life of the membrane is proposed to use for the design of LNG storage tank.
