【Major Industrial Equipment in the Chemical Industry】473—In Yancheng, Jiangsu, the world’s first simultaneous elevation of 3 LNG storage tanks with a capacity of 270,000 cubic meters each took place. On the morning of September 7, 2022, in the Binhai Port Industrial Park in Yancheng, Jiangsu, the domes of the 3 LNG storage tanks at China National Offshore Oil Corporation’s “Green Energy Port” – each with an area roughly equivalent to that of a standard football field and a weight of nearly 1,200 tons – were lifted to a height of 60 meters using pneumatic pressure. It is reported that this is the first time in the world that three LNG storage tanks with a capacity of 270,000 cubic meters have had their tops erected simultaneously, marking that China’s technology for designing and constructing ultra-large LNG storage tanks, as well as its project management skills, have reached world-class levels.
Wow, that’s amazing. But this should be a pressure vessel, what is the design pressure?
LNG storage tanks. To be honest, as a chemical industry worker, I can’t even imagine it. Thank you very much to the original poster for sharing this information
It should not be classified as a pressure vessel; the key factor is low temperature, and there are two ways to achieve liquefaction: by increasing pressure or by reducing temperature. Thank you for sharing
Are there any drawings for this project?
