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.
In this edition:
- Changes improve the fire safe design of outer concrete containers, to avoid explosive spalling during a fire event.
- Revised inspection requirements after repairs, after detection of leaks, and post seismic events provide contractors, facility owners, managers, and AHJs with greater confidence in the system’s continued safety and integrity.
- The latest edition of NFPA 59A is essential for architects, owners, designers, engineers, fire safety officers, AHJs, and anyone responsible for LNG plant safety.

Depend on the 2009 NFPA 59A for LNG plant safety.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants associated with pipelines must meet the requirements of NFPA 59A: Standard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), adopted by D.O.T. and referenced by other agencies including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. This document is also used worldwide as the final word on site selection, design, construction, and fire protection for LNG plants.
Clarified and reorganized 2009 edition helps you ensure safety.
The previous edition of NFPA 59A added first-time provisions for the siting and diking of double containment and full containment LNG containers for a new level of installation safety…added flood, wind, snow load considerations that impacted container design…and revised seismic design criteria for large, field-erected LNG containers to reflect ASCE 7.
Now, the 2009 NFPA 59A makes important provisions like these easier to apply, through clarified language, and reorganization based on industry comments and user needs. This edition of NFPA 59A is essential for architects, owners, designers, engineers, fire safety officers, and AHJs.

Apply NFPA 59A for LNG plant safety and compliance throughout the United States and in installations around the globe.
Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) plants must meet the requirements of NFPA 59A: Standard for the Production, Storage, and Handling of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), adopted by D.O.T. and referenced by other agencies including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. In addition to use in the U.S., NFPA 59A is trusted worldwide as the final word on site selection, design, construction, and fire protection for LNG plants.
New Chapter 15 incorporates a performance-based option.
The 2013 edition of NFPA 59A relocates Annex E, Performance-Based Alternative Standard for Plant Siting into the mandatory text as new Chapter 15, Performance (Risk Assessment) Based LNG Plant Siting. This performance-based option 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. The analysis and siting plan must then be approved by the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Tables and figures in new Chapter 15 help facility designers and AHJs identify risks and determine if risks are tolerable.
Other important changes in the 2013 NFPA 59A:
- Revised Design Spill table separates the design spill requirements for over-the-top fill/withdrawal containers, other containers, and process areas.
- Scope statements have been added to each chapter.
- Term radiant heat flux replaces thermal radiation throughout the document.
The latest edition of NFPA 59A is essential for architects, owners, designers, engineers, fire safety officers, AHJs, and anyone responsible for LNG plant safety.
