Replies are rewarded; discussions are welcome. ------------------------------------------- On October 28, 2022, with a launch command, the first onshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank project in China – the Hua Gang Gas Group Hebei Hejian LNG peak-shaving storage facility – which was built by Hudong Zhonghua (Shipbuilding) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China State Shipbuilding Corporation, was officially completed and put into operation. This marks another breakthrough for Hudong Zhonghua in advancing the development of China’s entire LNG industry chain, opening up a new chapter as it moves from marine to onshore applications. Image: The Hejian LNG peak-shaving storage facility was constructed by Huagang Gas Group, which belongs to North China Oilfield Company. The total investment in this project was 272 million yuan, and it covers an area of approximately 81.37 mu. A 29,000-cubic-meter LNG membrane-type storage tank along with related facilities were built there; its maximum gasification and supply capacity is 1 million standard cubic meters per day. This station has the capability to load LNG for transportation, enabling more flexible and timely deployment of LNG. Its completion represents a new milestone in the development of China’s LNG storage equipment industry. It will greatly facilitate the adoption of large-scale LNG membrane storage tank technology in China, and it will have a significant demonstrative and leading effect on accelerating the localization of membrane tank equipment and materials as well as on promoting the development of the entire LNG industry chain.

LNG membrane storage tanks are a new type of storage tank, and nearly a hundred such land-based LNG membrane tanks have been built worldwide to date. Compared to the common 9% nickel steel full-volume storage tanks, membrane tanks are more compact, offering unparalleled technical and economic advantages in terms of improving safety and stability, increasing effective storage capacity, reducing unit cost, shortening construction time, and achieving energy savings. Taking 160,000 cubic meters as an example, under the same dimensional conditions, membrane tanks can reduce investment by 15%, shorten the construction period by 2 to 3 months, and increase the effective volume by 10%. In particular, membrane tanks offer better safety and seismic resistance properties. HDZC has been committed to building and improving China’s entire LNG industry chain, taking on the responsibilities of a central state-owned enterprise by contributing to the **green and low-carbon transformation and supporting the implementation of the **\"dual carbon\" strategy. As a leading enterprise in the field of LNG storage and transportation equipment manufacturing, and the only shipyard in the world capable of building both Type No. 96 and Mark III LNG membrane tanks, it took on the construction of the core interior components of this project, thus taking the first step toward moving from marine to land-based applications. This represents a successful demonstration for the further development and adoption of large-scale LNG membrane storage tank technology in China, with promising spillover effects.
Wish a prosperous and strong China.
