Aug 18, 2022

Common structures of LNG storage tanks include vertical LNG storage tanks, horizontal LNG storage tanks, vertical sub parent tanks and atmospheric pressure storage tanks.

Vertical LNG storage tank:

The volume is 50 cubic meters, 100 cubic meters, 150 cubic meters and 200 cubic meters;

Horizontal LNG storage tank:

The volume is 60 cubic meters and 100 cubic meters;

Vertical sub master tank:

Sub master tank refers to an inner tank composed of multiple sub tanks in parallel to meet the demand of large capacity storage. Multiple sub tanks are assembled in a large outer tank in parallel. The number of sub tanks is 3-7, generally no more than 12. The volume of single sub tank should not be too large. Its volume is usually between 100 ~ 150 cubic meters, and the maximum is 250 cubic meters. There are 1000 cubic meters, 1750 cubic meters and 2000 cubic meters;

Atmospheric storage tank:

There are large and medium-sized atmospheric LNG storage tanks and extra large LNG atmospheric storage tanks.
