1.With high safety and sealing, it can ensure the safety of storage and prevent accidents, widely used in petrochemical and other fields.
2.The primary and secondary container are both flat-bottomed and cylindrical metal storage tanks, and the primary container top is deck type. It is suspended from the vault support structure of the secondary container through a boom. The top of the secondary container is a spherical arch, and the top support structure is a ribbed ring grid. The foundation of the LNG storage tank adopts a concrete elevated pier structure.
3.The following are safety measures to prevent overpressure:
1)Recycle the evaporated gas from the tank via the BOG pipe;
2)Discharge the gas from the tank to a low-pressure flare through the vent line;
3) The exhalation relief valve actuates to vent gas from the tank to the low-pressure flare;
