15m³ LCO2 Cryogenic Storage Tank: Reliable Solutions for Your Carbon Dioxide Needs

15m³ LCO2 Cryogenic Storage Tank: Reliable Solutions for Your Carbon Dioxide Needs

Overview

Looking for a dependable and long-lasting storage solution for liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2)? Our cryogenic LCO2 storage tanks, available in both space-saving vertical and versatile horizontal configurations, are engineered to provide exceptional insulation and a long service life. Think of them as high-performance refrigerators, but for industrial-scale CO2 storage.

What makes these tanks stand out is their double-walled design. Imagine a bottle inside another bottle, with a vacuum-sealed space in between. This clever construction minimizes heat transfer, keeping your LCO2 in its liquid state for longer and reducing costly evaporation.

The inner vessel, which directly contains the LCO2, is built from specialized low-temperature plate materials, typically 16MnDR or SS30408. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand the extreme cold without becoming brittle. The outer vessel, providing structural support and protection, can be manufactured from either Q345R or SS30408, selected based on your specific application requirements and environmental conditions.

To protect against corrosion and ensure lasting performance, the tank's exterior undergoes a rigorous surface treatment process. This includes meticulous sandblasting to remove any imperfections, thorough purging to eliminate contaminants, and the application of a specialized two-component, fast-curing liquid coating. This coating forms a robust barrier against rust, weathering, and other environmental factors, extending the lifespan of your investment.

Our cryogenic tanks are essential for a wide range of industries where LCO2 is crucial.  Whether you're in the gas industry, need precise anti-corrosion measures, operate refrigeration systems, are involved in food and beverage production (think carbonating drinks!), handle welding applications, or are in the metal refining sector, these tanks offer a reliable solution.  They are particularly well-suited for centralized gas supply systems, ensuring a steady and efficient flow of LCO2 whenever and wherever you need it.

Product Information

These aren’t just tanks; they're carefully engineered systems.  To simplify both filling and unloading, our cryogenic storage tanks feature liquid inlet pipelines positioned at both the top and bottom. This design accommodates different transfer methods, including differential pressure and cryogenic liquid pumps.

Safety is paramount.  Each tank is equipped with a redundant safety system: a dual safety valve (or a bursting disc as an alternative). This system is designed to automatically vent any excess pressure, preventing potentially dangerous situations and protecting the integrity of the inner container.

The vacuum space between the inner and outer vessels is meticulously maintained by a dedicated vacuum pipeline. This ensures the highest possible level of insulation performance, minimizing heat leak and LCO2 evaporation.  Furthermore, the outer shell incorporates an explosion-proof device designed to release any gas buildup in the unlikely event of a leak. This crucial safety feature mitigates potential damage and protects personnel.

These tanks are designed for demanding applications, boasting a combination of impressive storage capacity, minimal evaporation rates, and exceptional overall reliability. They are built to provide years of trouble-free service.

Tank Structure and Operation

These cryogenic storage tanks are more than just containers; they are integrated systems.  When paired with a compatible supercharger, they allow for the supply of either liquid or gas without requiring any external power source. This unique feature ensures that the purity of the discharged LCO2 or gaseous CO2 is maintained throughout the process.

Each tank is equipped with a precision pressure conditioning system. This allows you to fine-tune the output pressure to match your specific application requirements simply by adjusting the conditioning valve (T). This ensures a stable and consistent pressure, which is crucial for many processes.  The system also includes a dedicated liquid filling joint for tank cars, facilitating the efficient transfer of LCO2 to vaporizers and other transport vessels.
