Hi,
Please I want to know the utility of PDI in The LNG Tanks, a limite value in normal operation, and how to control it when the BOG compressors TRIP?
seeing the API 620 / 650 they talk only about construction issues, ei: when we lost one compressor the PDI goes from -2mbarg to + 9mbarg please who can tell me what should we do or am I in safe area?
regards
