USAGE OVERVIEW
⸺ Purpose
LNG tanks enable efficient storage and transportation of natural gas in its liquefied form, providing flexibility in supply and utilization.
⸺ Tank Types
There are single containment tanks and double containment tanks, offering varying levels of insulation and protection.
⸺ Construction Material
LNG tanks are constructed using materials with low-temperature resistance and structural integrity, such as high-nickel steel or aluminum.
⸺ Insulation
Perlite or foam insulation is used to minimize heat transfer and maintain the required low temperature for LNG.
⸺ Safety Systems
LNG tanks incorporate pressure relief, leak detection, and fire protection systems to ensure safe operation and prevent accidents.
⸺ Tanker Design
LNG tanks in carriers or tankers are designed to withstand dynamic loads and stresses, with specialized containment systems for safe lon-distance transportation.
