Hazards and risks of exceeding the filling factor of LPG storage tanks

The pressure inside the liquefied gas storage tank will increase, exceeding the pressure limit of the design standard, which may cause the rupture or leakage of the liquefied gas storage tank. This will bring serious safety risks, which may cause explosion, fire or poisonous gas leakage, which will cause great harm to the surrounding people and the environment. Exceeding the filling factor will cause the temperature inside the liquefied gas storage tank to rise because the expansion of the liquefied gas generates heat. Excessive internal temperature of the liquefied gas storage tank may cause excessive pressure, resulting in the loss of structural strength of the liquefied gas storage tank, which in turn leads to the rupture of the liquefied gas storage tank. Exceeding the filling factor will reduce the expansion space in the liquefied gas storage tank. When the liquefied gas expands, it cannot fully accommodate the expanded gas, which may cause the internal pressure of the liquefied gas storage tank to be too high, increasing the risk of explosion and leakage.
