This European Stanchi shall be given the status of a donai standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 1998, and conflicting nationai standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by August 1998. It is Part
17、4 of a standard on underground gas storage which includes the five following parts: -Part 1: Functional mornmendations for stomge in quifm; -Part 2: Functional recommendations for storage in o and gas f&; - Part 3: Functional recommendations for sbmge in solution-mined salt cavities; - Part 4: Funct
18、ional recommendations for sme in mk cam; - Part 5: Fuctional remm - liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). R - liquefied natural gas (LNG) in lined or unlined rock caverns. Underground storage in mined caverns is an attractive alternative to underground storage in sait leached caverns, especially where the
19、local geological setting does not contain sait or where the salt does not display suitable cWteristics for solution mining. The technology, provided it is correctly implemented, is applicable to the following geological conitions: - hard igneous or metamorphic rocks such as granite, gneiss, andesite
20、s or shales; - sedimentary rocks such as limestones, cemented sandstones, quartzites, chalk or shales; - mark The main prerequisites for unlined cavern storage are the presence of a sufficient natural water head above the caverns to ensure the hydrodynamic containment of the product, and a rockmass
21、quality sufficient to ensure the long-term stability of the excavation with, if needed, a structural reinforcement. Underground storage in mined cavem is a safe way to create important reserves of LPG in the immediate vicinity of producing, importing or consuming centres such as: - refineries, impor
22、t or export term- - petrochemical complexes for which LPG constitutes a feedstock - local storage for seasonal peak shaving connected with bottling plants and aimed at a local domestic market; - regional feedstock for resale (distribution by truck, railway or boat). This part of EN 1918 focuses on u
23、nderground storage in unlined mined cavem for LPG. It does not cover refrigerated gas storage. Technical description The three key parameters governing the satisfactory operation of an underground storage facility in a mined cavern include: - long-term stability; - leaktightness and absence of envir
24、onmental impact; Page 3 EN 19184:1998 - absence of impact on product quality during storage time. The product stored is delivered after the storage period in a state compatible with the users requirements (with or without implementation of surface treatment). Very genedl5 a mined cavern storage faci
25、lity comprises one or several galleries, excavated from an access shaft or ramp and sited deep enough to ensure the hydraulic containment of the product to be stored. The access works are rst used for the excavation of the caverns and may consist of: - an inclined tunnel; - one or several shafts wit
26、h extraction equipment; - a combination of one or several shafts and an inclined tunnel. Before the storage facility is put into operation, the caverns are isolated from the access shaft and/or ramp by concrete plugs located near the cavern entrance. The shaft andor ramp is then flooded with water.
27、The storage cavern) are made up of main galleries of variable section, according to rock type and depth. The gallery length depends upon the arrangement of galleries, often in parallel, and the required storage capaciw. Connection galleries, generaily of smaller section, may link the main galleries
28、together. They allow circulation of personnel, materiaJs and equipment, and ventilation during the constsuction phase. They allow circuiation of water and stored product, at the various levels of excavation, during the operation phase. Connection galleries contribute to the storage capacity. The mos
29、t commonly used excavation method in hard rock is drilling and blasting. Alternative methods include roadheaers or tunnelling machines. The choice of method is determined mainly by the rockmas properties and the size of the excavations but also by the cost and availability of equipment. The undergro
30、und storage space is connected to the surface by a series of lines accommodated in one or more operating shafts or in operating wells, driiied, cased and cemented. They include: - inlet line(s); - outlet line(s) fitted with submersible pump(s) for product delivery; - seepage water line(s) and pump(s
31、); - instrumentation line(s); - vent iine(s). When installed in a shaft, the operating pipes are anchored in a concrete sealing plug located immediately above the cavern crown. After pipe installation, the shaft is flooded with water for the operation phase. In some cases, horizontal and/or vertical
32、 water curtajns may be provided to enhance the permanent groundwater flow towards the storage caverns.
