Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to improve safety and to optimize tank operations, Gas de France conducted theoretical and experimental studies on forced and natural LNG mixtures. The studies involved: - developing two models for predicting the rollover phenomenon, in co-operation with a CNRS laboratory; one model is intended for operators, the other for scientists; both were validated on the basis of natural variations in LNG stratification investigated in a 500 cublic meter tank, - monitoring the ageing of an homogeneous LNG batch and partial evolution of a stratified LNG stored in a 120,000 cubic meter tank, - carrying out stirring tests in a 500 cubic meter LNG tank, the resultsof which showed gaps in the theory. The aggregate results obtained in these studies help deepen theoretical and practical understanding of LNG mixtures, and can be used to plan new developments for the operating of LNG storage tanks.
