Abstract

The PS-type Cryogenic Storage Tank is designed to provide double safety against leakage. The tank consists of an inner tank and an outer enclosure. The inner tank contains the low temperature and ultra-low temperature liquefied gases, such as Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Even in the event of an accidental leakage occurring on the inner tank, the outer enclosure of prestressed concrete will serve as an integral secondary barrier to keep the gas from flowing out.
Several ethylene storage tanks with storage capacity of 3, 000 to 7, 000 ton and two 40, 000 ton LPG storage tanks have been constructed as the results of our research and davelopment efforts and these tanks have been enjoying a high reputation as the storage facilities with the highest safety and integrity.
