Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Storage Tanks - Applicable Volume & Applications
1. 60-cubic-meter LNG vacuum powder-insulated storage tanks, available in sizes from 5 to 200 cubic meters, suitable for civil gasification stations, industrial gasification stations, LNG refueling stations, small skid-mounted liquefaction units, and refrigerant storage.
2. Mother-and-child horizontal low-temperature storage tanks, ranging from 300 to 5,000 cubic meters, suitable for small liquefaction units, air separation units, civil gasification stations, industrial gasification stations, and LNG gasification stations, etc.
3. Horizontal and Vertical Low-Temperature Storage Tanks, 100 to 10,000 cubic meters, suitable for small and medium-sized liquefaction units, peak-load liquefaction units, air separation units, LNG storage and distribution stations, LNG gasification stations, etc.
4. Vertical flat-bottomed cylindrical storage tanks, ranging from 200 to 200,000 cubic meters, suitable for various liquefaction units, LNG storage and distribution stations, LNG gasification stations, air separation units, liquid hydrocarbon storage, coastal LNG receiving terminals, etc.
Vacuum powder insulation storage tanks consist of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, with the annular space insulated using vacuum powder insulation technology. Due to transportation constraints, the maximum tank capacity is currently 200 m³, and they are commonly used for storing smaller quantities of liquids.
When the liquid storage capacity exceeds 200 m³, a 60-cubic-meter LNG storage tank can be connected in parallel as a cluster tank using multiple vacuum powder-insulated storage tanks. When the storage capacity exceeds 1500 m³, it is advisable to use a horizontal submersible low-temperature storage tank (abbreviated as submersible tank), which has the advantages of fewer site equipment, lower investment, convenient operation and maintenance, and safety and reliability compared to the cluster tank. The submersible tank consists of multiple (more than 3) sub-tanks in parallel to form the inner tank, and a large outer tank (mother tank) is assembled. The submersible tank is also limited by transportation and lifting conditions, with a maximum single tank capacity of 250 m³ and a total maximum capacity of 5000 m³. When the storage capacity exceeds 200 m³, spherical horizontal low-temperature storage tanks and vertical flat-bottomed cylindrical horizontal low-temperature storage tanks can also be chosen. When the storage capacity exceeds 10,000 m³, horizontal flat-bottomed cylindrical low-temperature storage tanks are more commonly used. During the actual selection process, when the storage capacity is less than or equal to 200 m³, a vacuum powder-insulated storage tank with mature manufacturing and installation technology is chosen for the 60-cubic-meter LNG storage tank.
30, 60, 100 cubic meter LNG storage tanks
30, 60, and 100 cubic meter LNG tanks are commonly used in our production. We believe that this new type of LNG tank will also be quickly embraced by a wide range of users. Compared to conventional tanks, LNG tanks offer enhanced safety. LNG tanks can be categorized by size as: small LNG tanks, ranging from 5 to 30 cubic meters, often used in residential gas liquefaction stations and LNG vehicle refueling stations; medium-sized LNG tanks, from 30 to 150 cubic meters, commonly used in satellite liquefaction units, and are also the best choice to replace general tanks.
The storage system of the LNG tank consists of low-temperature storage tanks, affiliated pipelines, and control instruments, yet it also falls under the category of low-temperature storage tanks.
2. All lng storage tank piping is made of Austenitic stainless steel tubes. Austenitic stainless steel tubes have excellent low-temperature properties.
3. These LNG storage tanks, categorized by their installation form, include vertical (lng) tanks. They feature vacuum powder insulation technology, with the inner tank and piping materials made of Austenitic S30408 stainless steel, and the outer shell crafted from high-quality carbon steel Q345R pressure vessel steel plate. Not only do these LNG storage tanks have a long service life, but they are also extremely safe to use, having gained widespread recognition.
