Vertical Cryogenic Storage Tanks for Liquid Natural Gas

Benefits of the VT LNG Series

  • Inner Vessel - stainless steel for cryogenic temperatures with optimized design for lighter weight
  • Outer Jacket - a combined leg and lifting lug system designed for safe transport, easy lifting and low cost erection using a single crane
  • Insulation - a proven high quality vacuum-perlite system with molecular sieve adsorber
  • Piping - stainless steel piping for reliability and long life, ergonomically arranged workplace, flow diagram and gauges at eye level, easily accessible valves and safety relief valve outlets directed away from the operating area
  • Valves - standard with stainless steel bodies and welded connections
  • Pressure Control - an easily adjustable multifunction regulator serves as pressure regulator, economiser and thermal-relief valve.
  • An aluminum stainless steel cored pressure building coil is standard
  • Instrumentation - high quality pressure gauge and differential pressure contents gauge are standard with optional switches, transmitter and/or telemetry unit
  • Safety - tanks are equipped with dual relief valves with a variety of options, including additional relief valves and/or rupture discs, all vents to atmosphere are led to stack, going to top of tank
    PED design - Chart Ferox has been manufacturing cryogenic tanks in accordance with the new European code "PED”, the Pressure Equipment Directive, since 1999.
  • Pump Options - pump connection with a thermo-siphon is available as an option
  • Cleanliness - all tanks and their components are cleaned and certified for oxygen service
  • Outer Finish - choice of two durable corrosion resistant white paints, including a new low VOC paint or a standard 2-stage epoxy-polyurethane paint#
  • Transport - rugged internal supports allow for safe transportation by road, rail or container

The new VT LNG range of cryogenic tanks combines safety, flexibility and easy economical operation. The VT LNG series includes 21 models with features industrial gas producers and users want, but could not get until now. Primary among these features is a high performance, standard design with a wide range of options to meet most special needs.

The VT LNG series is designed for long-term storage of liquefied natural gas. The VT LNG series is available in capacities from 3.000 to 60.000 liters and maximum allowable working pressures of 19, and
12,6 bar. All VT LNG tanks are produced in accordance with PED, European Norms, AD 2000, or other national pressure vessel codes, as required. Tanks outside this range are available upon request.

Finally, Chart Ferox manufactures customized vertical and horizontal storage tanks with capacities up to 500.000 liters, as well as supplies vaporizers, vacuum insulated pipeline and other components needed to create a complete "customer" installation.
