[Presenting case studies useful for seismic evaluation] Supporting seismic evaluation and reinforcement work for high-pressure gas storage tanks (spherical tanks, flat-bottomed refrigerated tanks, etc.)!

For high-pressure gas equipment classified as Importance I and Ia, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has stipulated the formulation of seismic reinforcement plans in the document "On Improving the Seismic Resistance of Existing High-Pressure Gas Facilities (20140519 Commercial Bureau No. 1)." Our company has been advancing seismic evaluations, studies, designs, and construction for numerous LPG storage tanks owned by the Idemitsu Group. In our studies, we applied the latest knowledge in seismic motion evaluation and developed and introduced new high-precision simulations to accurately assess behaviors such as shaking and deformation during an earthquake. Through these efforts, we have contributed to improving the seismic performance and ensuring the safety of high-pressure gas facilities by identifying reinforcement locations and subsequently selecting appropriate construction methods and carrying out reinforcement work. 【Do you have any of these concerns?】 - I want to proceed with seismic evaluation but need advice on how to do so. - There are multiple pieces of equipment that require seismic evaluation, and I want to address them systematically. - The results indicate that there are more reinforcement locations needed than expected. I want to reconfirm if this is really the case. - Area constraints may pose limitations on seismic reinforcement work. Are there any good methods available? Our experienced engineers will propose optimal solutions for seismic reinforcement. Please feel free to consult with us.

Are you struggling with the integrity assessment of long-standing high-pressure gas piping? Idemitsu Eng. verifies integrity at minimum total cost based on experience in refineries!

Are you unsure where to start with the seismic resistance evaluation of existing high-pressure gas piping amid the increasing risk of major earthquakes? Idemitsu Engineering can confirm the integrity of your equipment at a total cost minimum based on our experience in refineries. 【Features】 - Based on our experience within Idemitsu facilities, we identify weak points in the piping through a walk-down inspection. - We conduct detailed evaluations only on the identified areas, minimizing evaluation costs. 【Benefits】 We can verify the seismic resistance of existing high-pressure gas piping built to past standards, ensuring reliability against future major earthquakes. (As of 2016, evaluation of existing piping is not mandatory, but there is a possibility that it may become mandatory in the future, similar to tanks.)

Are you struggling with the high costs of seismic reinforcement for high-pressure gas facilities? Cost reduction is possible by utilizing Idemitsu's experience and simulation technology!

[Until the end of September] You can download a paper that includes case studies of seismic evaluations of high-pressure gas tanks utilizing our simulation technology! ********************************************* [Overview] Regarding the improvement of seismic resistance for existing high-pressure gas facilities (Commercial Bureau No. 1, 20140519), it is required to formulate renovation plans aimed at seismic reinforcement for equipment classified as importance level 1.1a. At Idemitsu Engineering, we can provide optimal proposals based on case studies from Idemitsu Kosan's refineries and factories. [Features] ◆ With a highly accurate evaluation method, reinforcement costs can be minimized. 　⇒ By using "earthquake motions based on the latest knowledge" and "structural simulations," we can achieve highly accurate seismic evaluations. Consequently, it is possible to reduce reinforcement costs to the limit. (There are also cases where reinforcement was deemed unnecessary.) ◆ We have a track record of reinforcement work even in difficult and narrow locations. 　⇒ We have experience enabling construction in narrow spaces surrounded by existing facilities by adopting small pile driving machines.

The paper featuring the case study can be downloaded. Quick response and low cost! We will solve your equipment issues with Idemitsu's simulation technology.

[Free distribution of literature on simulation case studies] Quick response and low cost! We will solve your equipment issues with Idemitsu's simulation technology. At Idemitsu, we have focused on the potential of computer simulation for plant safety and efficiency from an early stage, and have been utilizing it for over 30 years. During this time, we have independently developed simulation technology that can accurately reproduce plant behavior by comparing operational data and various conditions with calculated values. Are you facing any of the following issues? - Not knowing what is happening in the plant and having no way to take countermeasures. - Having a sense of the cause but wanting to understand it quantitatively. - Wanting a decisive factor to determine which of several solutions is the best method. - Unable to validate in the actual plant, and confirmation takes time and costs, so wanting to quickly and easily verify improvement effects. Idemitsu has experience with hundreds of fluid and structural simulations. We will assist you in clearly identifying fundamental issues and linking them to essential problem-solving. Please feel free to consult with us.

Based on practical experience in support companies and business companies, SBS Marketing Co., Ltd. provides consulting services related to marketing, sales promotion, and customer acquisition primarily in the BtoB (business-to-business) sector. On June 4, 2026, we published a page titled "Do We Tend to Set 'Forecasts' Too Optimistically? The 'Planning Fallacy'." The 'Planning Fallacy' refers to the psychological phenomenon where the time, costs, and risks required to complete tasks are "underestimated," while the benefits are "overestimated." The page explains examples of its occurrence, the factors that lead to it, and methods to overcome it.
