Abstract
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is a critical energy source in modern times, with storage tanks strategically located in coastal regions for efficient sea transport. However, these vital infrastructures face dual threats: rare but severe natural disasters and age-related degradation. Such vulnerabilities can result in catastrophic events, including fires and explosions. To proactively address these challenges, digital healthcare engineering (DHE) provides a framework for continuous monitoring and maintenance. This paper offers a comprehensive review of key DHE technologies relevant to ageing land-based LNG storage tanks, with a particular focus on enhancing seismic resilience. Additionally, it presents a feasibility study on implementing a DHE system for a 160,000 m³ LNG storage tank during seismic events, underscoring the importance of proactive safety measures against evolving environmental and operational risks.
