As LNG storage facilities grow in scale and strategic importance, their exposure to extreme external hazards like hurricane-borne missiles, debris impact, or blast loads has become a critical safety concern.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) offers a powerful solution to evaluate and enhance the structural integrity of large LNG tanks under rare but catastrophic scenarios and help assess the safety and structural integrity of these tanks against these events. Standards like BS 7777 and BS EN 14620 emphasize the need to consider missile impact loads in extreme scenarios.
Tridiagonal solutions advanced explicit dynamic simulation techniques, we help LNG operators, EPCs, and designers assess the tank's resilience against high-velocity impacts from airborne missiles or debris — typically generated during extreme weather events or accidental explosions.
