Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) Storage Industry Codes
Natural Gas Liquid (NGL) Storage Industry Codes
(OP)
What is a spec (API or other) that would define the requirements to satisfy REGAGEP (recognized and generally accepted good engineering practices) for natural gas liquid storage (NGL)? I am aware of a spec such as API 2510 (Design and Construction of LPG Installations) that is good guidance for LPGs. Is there a similar spec that may be used for NGLs??
I am struggling with standardizing our various NGL facilities (bullets, loading, etc)that process and store NGLs since they were designed/constructed by many fabricators or engineering firms. I am looking to ensure consistensy in our existing facilities so that auditors/regulators can find similar design meeting REGAGEP.

Build using ASME VIII Div 1 with additions from API 2510. Perform regular, scheduled inspections using API-510. Repair using *both* NBIC and API-510. Write an in-house procedure mandating the above. Actually follow this procedure, and keep signed, dated records prooving that you are following this procedure. OSHA will pay special attention to your API-510 Inspx, maintenance, and repairs when they arrive for a RAGAGEP audit.

Following API 510 for inspection is spot on. Thanks

Never heard of NGL but we are currently building a $14 billion LNG (Liquified Natural Gas) facility.
Is NGL just another name for it or a totally different substance ?

This will put you in the position of having evaluated your risk, addressed that risk, documented your response, and have a written practice *that you are following*. It is critical that there is a trail of reports that show that you are following your site procedure.
The procedure needs to use the inspection intervals of API-510, sepecially the 10-year internal Inspx. Also make aprovision to use RBI when internal Inspx is difficult or not warranted.
