The basis of the design philosophy of the LNG ship Moss type is the ‘leak before failure’ concept. This presumes that the primary barrier will fail progressively, not suddenly and catastrophically ❌.

In the case of a crack occurring in the tank material, a small leakage of LNG 💧 within the insulation will be detected at an early stage by the gas detection system fitted at the equatorial ring ⭕ area and at the drip pan. The drip pan, installed directly below each cargo tank, is fitted with temperature sensors to detect 🚨the presence of LNG.

Any leakage of LNG liquid will drain by gravity from between the tank plating and the insulation to the southern hemisphere and will collect in the drain tube at the 👉 bursting disc, then to the drip pan.

The drain tube at the bottom of the insulation space is sealed in normal service by a bursting disc which is designed to fail 🚨at cryogenic temperatures.

Cedar LNG, a partnership between Pembina Pipeline Corporation and the Haisla Nation, proposes to build what it says will be the world’s first 🥇 Indigenous majority-owned LNG project, Cedar LNG.

While the project was initially envisaged to have a liquefaction capacity of 400 million cubic feet a day, the partners now want to increase this to 500 million cubic feet a day 💭. This represents an increase in LNG production from approximately 3 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to 3.75 mtpa 💧.
