Xinhua Finance, Beijing, May 17 (Reporter: Anna) The installation of the vault modules for all six liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks in China, each with a capacity of 270,000 cubic meters and designed and built domestically, was completed on May 17 at CNOOC’s Yancheng “Green Energy Port”. Yuan Bin, deputy general manager of CNOOC Yancheng’s “Green Energy Port” project, explained that the dome is an important component of liquefied natural gas storage tanks, acting as the \"beam\" of such tanks. Given the long span and heavy weight of the dome modules for this 270,000 cubic meter large-capacity storage tank, the project team, through precise calculations, simulation studies, and on-site tests, arranged 3 sets of 8 lifting points in a proper upper, middle, and lower configuration on the surface of each dome module. Before lifting, the lengths of the 8 steel cables were adjusted to keep the angle between each set of cables constant, ensuring that the deformation of the dome modules during lifting remained within 5%, thus guaranteeing the construction quality. Furthermore, according to information provided by CNOOC, this lifting operation overcame challenges such as limited space, poor geological conditions, numerous concurrent tasks, and long lifting times, and successfully carried out the simultaneous lifting of three tank roof modules for the first time in China. The innovative structural design and construction methods for prefabricated vault modules reduce the amount of welding work by nearly 83%, significantly improving the efficiency of installation inside the tank while reducing operational risks. The successful lifting of the dome module laid a solid foundation for subsequent processes such as pneumatic jacking, dome pouring, and interior tank construction. Data shows that the first phase of CNOOC Yancheng’s “Green Energy Port” project involves the construction of 10 large-scale LNG storage tanks, including 4 tanks with a capacity of 220,000 cubic meters each and 6 tanks with a capacity of 270,000 cubic meters each. Once all these tanks are in operation by the end of 2023, the annual LNG processing capacity will reach 6 million tons, which is equivalent to 8.5 billion cubic meters of gaseous natural gas – enough to meet the energy needs of Jiangsu province for approximately 28 months. Industry experts say that CNOOC Yancheng’s “Green Energy Port” is a key project under the plan to develop a system for the production, supply, storage, and distribution of natural gas, as well as to facilitate connectivity between various facilities. Once completed, it will play an important role in optimizing the energy structure, protecting the ecological environment, accelerating industrial transformation in the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and helping China achieve its “dual carbon” goals.
@RedLee_ZZHI @WisdomBright @BookBoy @MightyUltraman. @Storage and transportation engineer @Nut: This was done quite quickly – the foundation was completed in 60 days, while the bottom plate, shell, and tank top were welded together in 90 days. Well done!
