Natural gas became one of the major sources of energy in Korea. As the consumption of natural gas increase, the more capacity of the LNG storage tanks is required. Recently, Korea Gas Corp.(KOGAS) has developed the technology of designing the LNG storage tanks. In this study, some of the finite element analysis has been made for designing of the roof structure of LNG storage tanks. The load case and safety code used in this study were followed by BS7777.

본 연구에서는 원통형 액체저장탱크(cylindrical liquid storage tank)를 대상으로 적층(積層)고무받침(LRB)방식의 기초분리장치(base isolator)를 사용하였을 때의 진동감소효과를 분석하기 위하여 지진하중에 대한 유사동적실험(Pseudo-dynamic test)을 수행하였다. 유사동적실험을 효과적으로 수행하기 위하여 구조분할기법(substructuring technique)을 도입하여 액체저장탱크를 수치적으로 모형화하였으며 효율적인 수치적분방법을 실험알고리즘에 적용하였다.

In Korea, about 110,000 LPG small storage tanks of less than three tons have been installed in restaurants, houses and factories, and are used as LPG supply facilities for cooking, heating and industrial use. In the case of combustible liquefied gas storage tanks, the tank may rupture due to the temperature increase of the tank steel plate (approximately 600℃) even when the safety valve is operating normally, causing large-scale damage in an instant. Therefore, in the event of a fire near the LPG small storage tank, it is necessary to accurately predict the timing of the BLEVE(Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) outbreak in order to secure golden time for lifesaving and safely carry out fire extinguishing activities. In this study, we have first investigated the results of a prior study on the prediction of the occurrence of BLEVE in the horizontal tanks. And we have developed thermodynamic models and simulation program on the prediction of BLEVE that can be applied to vertical tanks used in Korea, have studied the effects of the safety valve's ability to vent, heat flux strength of external fires, size of tanks, and gas remaining in tanks on the time of BLEVE occurrence and have suggested future utilization measures.

To ensure hygienic safety of drinking water in a water storage tank, the concentrations of residual chlorine should be above a certain regulation level. In this study, we conducted model simulations to investigate the effects of temperature on residual chlorine in water storage tank conditions typically used in Seoul. For this, values of model parameters (decomposition rate constant, sorption coefficient, and evaporation mass transfer coefficient) were experimentally determined from laboratory experiments. The model simulations under continuous flow conditions showed that the residual chlorine concentrations were satisfied the water quality standard level (0.1 mg/L) at all the temperature conditions ($5^{\circ}C$, $10^{\circ}C$, $15^{\circ}C$, $20^{\circ}C$ and $25^{\circ}C$). Meanwhile, when the tanks had a no flow condition (i.e., no tap-water influent due to a sudden shut-down), the concentrations became lower than the regulatory level after certain periods. The findings from this modeling works simulating Seoul's water storage tanks suggested disappearance rate of residual chlorine could be reduced through the tanks design optimization with maintenance of low water temperature, minimization of air flow and volume, suppression of dispersion and the use of wall materials with low sorption ability.

LNG 저장탱크는 해안에 인접한 해양 구조물로써 염해에 대해 취약성을 가지고 있음에도 불구하고 그 동안 염해에 대한 특별한 건전성관리 체계에 대한 연구는 이루어진 바가 없었다. 탱크의 설계보증 수명 약 25년이 도래하는 시점에서 대체 신규 LNG 탱크 건설로 막대한 비용 및 자원의 낭비를 막고 효율적인 LNG 저장탱크의 수명관계를 위해서 염해에 대한 기초적인 실험데이터는 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구는 추후 연구 될 LNG 저장탱크 콘크리트 수명예측에 대한 기초적인 자료를 만들기 위해 수행하였으며, 북유럽에서 시행하는 NT Build 492 규격을 신설 탱크의 벽체 콘크리트에 적용하였다. 시험결과 다량의 플라이애시 효과로 재령 90일의 확산계수가 재령 28일의 확산계수의 46%의 값을 보였다. 시방서(배합표)에 의한 계산값과 재령 28일 및 재령 90일 시험값을 비교한 결과, 재령 90일 시험값이 재령 28일 시험값보다 계산값에 근사한 결과를 보임에 따라 90일에 시험을 실시하는 것이 LNG 저장탱크 염해확산계수의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있음을 확인하였다.

액체저장탱크 구조물은 지진에 의해 붕괴되는 경우 구조물의 파손 및 저장물의 손실에 의한 직접피해보다 파급효과(유독물질이나 오염물질의 유출로 지속적인 재산피해 및 환경파괴를 초래함)가 더욱 심각하므로 이러한 직, 간접적 피해를 최소화하기 위한 내진설계기준의 제정이 시급한 과제이다. 본 논문에서는 원통형 액체저장탱크의 내진설계기준을 마련하기 위한 기초작업으로 뉴질랜드지침과 오스트리아지침의 해석방법을 고찰하고, 수치해석 예의 결과를 비교하여 두 지침의 적용타당성 및 문제점을 제시하였다.

Oil storage tanks are vital life-line structures, suffered significant damages during past earthquakes. In this study, a numerical model for an unanchored vertical vaulted-type tank was established by ANSYS software, including the tank-liquid coupling, nonlinear uplift and slip effect between the tank bottom and foundation. Four actual earthquakes recorded at different soil sites were selected as input to study the dynamic characteristics of the tank by nonlinear time-history dynamic analysis, including the elephant-foot buckling, the liquid sloshing, the uplift and slip at the bottom. The results demonstrate that, obvious elephant-foot deformation and buckling failure occurred near the bottom of the tank wall under the seismic input of Class-I and Class-IV sites. The local buckling failure appeared at the location close to the elephant-foot because the axial compressive stress exceeded the allowable critical stress. Under the seismic input of Class-IV site, significant nonlinear uplift and slip occurred at the tank bottom. Large amplitude vertical sloshing with a long period occurred on the free surface of the liquid under the seismic wave record at Class-III site. The seismic properties of the storage tank were affected by site class and should be considered in the seismic design of large tanks. Effective measures should be taken to reduce the seismic response of storage tanks, and ensure the safety of tanks.

This paper relates to a technology for monitoring a liquefied gas storage tank in the special gas field where demand is increasing owing to the continuous growth of related fields such as the semiconductor, display, and ICT convergence electronics industries. We have proposed a system for real - time monitoring using wireless sensor network technology, and implemented a system consisting of a sensor unit, transmitter module, and receiver module to be attached to a liquefied gas storage tank. The system was applied to LCO2 tanks among various liquefied gas storage tanks to verify the feasibility. The storage tanks employed in the experiments has capacities of 16,179 l and was 1,920 mm in inner diameter. Furthermore, the density was 1.03 g/l. The measured data were compared with reference data on the remaining gas level versus the $CO_2$ height of the surface, expressed using a conventional water meter, provided by an existing storage tank supplier. The experimental results show that the data is similar to the standard data provided by the tank supplier, and has a high accuracy and reliability within an error range of 0.03%.

축열조는 집단에너지를 공급하는 지역의 고도와 열부하에 따라 높이와 용량이 결정된다. 이는 축열조의 수두를 이용하여 열배관망에 압력을 가하고 배관망내의 비등을 방지하며 온도변화에 따라 체적이 팽창하면 이를 흡수하고 수축 시에는 부족한 중온수를 배관망에 공급하는 기능을 해야 하기 때문이다. 또한, 축열조의 역할은 주로 열수요량의 변화가 심한 계절별 주간 야간 시간대에 적절한 용량을 갖추고 잉여 열량을 저장한 후 필요한 시간대에 지역난방 열원으로 이용하면 열생산 설비의 운전 조건에 영향을 받지 않으면서 독자적으로 지역난방 열수요를 공급할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 본 연구는 지역난방에 건설되어 운영 중인 축열조 27기 중 폴리우레탄 폼의 단열 재료로 시공된 18기의 축열조에 대하여 단열재의 재질과 축열조의 운전방법에 따른 단열재의 손상원인에 대한 고찰과 단열재 손상이 축열조 부식에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 고찰하였다.
