Storage Capacity LNG is stored in either standard VT-LNG storage tanks, sizes ranging from 2.000 to 60.000 liters or in customized engineering tanks, going up to 680.000 liters gross volume. Both, standard and engineering vacuum insulated tanks can be vertical or horizontal. All tanks are insulated using high vacuum and perlite. Bigger installations can be done by using more tanks, or with Flat Bottom Tanks, where LNG is stored at near to atmospheric pressure. Flat Bottom Tanks can have a gross capacity up to 3.000.000 liters. Working Pressure Maximum allowable working pressure can be up to 19 barg for standard tanks Most applications need lower operating pressures. The basic version of the standard tanks is offered with MAWP 12,6 barg. |
Safety
All tanks are engineered to achieve the highest possible safety level during operation. Typically dual relief valves are installed, connected to a vent stack, to ensure that any build up of pressure is safely vented away above the top of the tank. All relief and safety valves from the entire installation are connected to this vent stack. No hazardous areas are created by venting at ground level.
Chart Ferox' LNG terminals include gas and flame detection as well as emergency shutdown buttons. A low level of flammable gas at 20% of the flammable limit will give a visible alarm. Gas levels to 40%, flame detection or an emergency shutdown button give visual and audible alarms and shut the terminal down to a safe condition. Hard contacts are available for remote monitoring services that can in turn call emergency services.

We offer both ambient vaporizers and water bath vaporizers. The ambient vaporizers are of the Aluminium star-fin type, as in the picture. These vaporizers do not need any added energy. Water bath vaporizers can be heated by natural gas or any other available heat source. We will design and sizes the vaporizers so that the pressure, flow and temperature of the outgoing gas can be guaranteed to the customers specification. |
Can be classical foam insulated or Vacuum Jacketed pipe. Vacuum Jacketed Pipe can be used where pressure and temperature of the LNG needs to be limited as much as possible, e.g. when the LNG is used as engine fuel. Vacuum Jacketed Pipe consists of double walled stainless steeled piping where the combination of super insulation and a high level of vacuum ensures maximum heat insulation.
