Identify risks and help ensure safety around Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants and export facilities with NFPA 59A. Adopted by D.O.T. and referenced by other agencies including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, NFPA 59A: Standard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) governs the site selection, design, construction, and fire protection of LNG plants. It’s required throughout the United States and internationally trusted as the final word on safety for these specialized facilities. Along with prescriptive requirements, the Standard includes a performance-based option that requires analyzing the risks to persons and property in the area surrounding the proposed LNG plant based on risk mitigation techniques incorporated into the facility design. Due to the prevalence of LNG in the United States, there is a shift away from predominantly importing LNG towards becoming a large exporter. As a result, numerous new export facilities under development in the U.S. will rely on NFPA 59A for guidance on LNG production, storage, and handling.
