Help Identify Risks and Ensure the Safe Production, Storage, and Handling of LNG.

Used by the Department of Transportation (DOT) 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 and export facilities.

NFPA 59A is used throughout the United States and internationally trusted as the final word on safety for these specialized facilities.

The prevalence of LNG in the United States has caused a shift away from importing LNG towards becoming a large exporter. Numerous export facilities under development rely on NFPA 59A for guidance on LNG production, storage, and handling. Along with prescriptive requirements, this NFPA^® publication 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.
