Wildwood LNG Demonstration Facility The storage tank will be surrounded by an earthen berm containment_structure that will provide 125% of the volume of the tank. This containment structure is designed as a safety feature to capture product in the event of spillage, a tank rupture, or piping or hose failure. The storage tank and dispensing system (see below) are positioned so as to maintain a minimum of 50 feet of separation from the engine generator set in accordance with NFPA code requirements. 5.8 Product Dispensing Facilities and Transportation It is proposed to truck the product off site utilizing approved tanker trucks. A skid-mounted pump located within the LNG tank containment will be used to pump product LNG from the storage tank into transport trucks. This electrically driven pump will be fitted with appropriate pressure and flowrate sensors for monitoring and recording flow. It will be equipped with pneumatically operated emergency shut-off valves that will operate in the fail-shut position. All electrical components will be rated Classification 1 Division 1 of the electrical code. As required by the NFPA code, all applicable equipment will have a minimum of three feet of clearance to permit access to valving. A truck scale will be provided at the site to measure the product LNG loaded into the tanker trucks for accounting purposes and to ensure that the maximum loaded weight does not exceed 80,000 pound gross vehicle weight. The scale selected is of the load cell style and consists of supporting rails mounted on concrete piers. Concrete aprons will be provided at either end of the scale to permit smooth access to and from the scale. The schedule for product transportation will nominally be such that the storage tank will be emptied approximately every 48 hours. A chain link fence fitted with security slats will surround the facility. The fence will be fitted with two electrically operated rolling vehicle gates to provide vehicular access into the site. These will be located in line with the vehicle scale. When actuated, both gates will open or close together. 5.9 Data Acquisition and Telemetry The LNG demonstration facility will be unmanned, with operational control and control data acquisition being performed remotely. On-site process logic controllers (PLCs) will be monitored and controlled through hard-wired telephone lines via the Internet. Equipment status reports, flowrates, pressures, temperatures, power draft, and the like will all be monitored and reported through the PLCs to the remote operator. In addition, the quantity of LNG product transport will be totaled by the dispenser electronics and can be remotely accessed. AES Construction Group Page 11
