Vertical Cryogenic Storage Tanks for Atmospheric Gases

  • Inner Vessel - Stainless steel for cryogenic temperatures with optimized design for lower weight
  • Outer Jacket - A system consisting of 3 legs with transport supports & lifting lugs for safe transport, easy lifting and low cost erection using a single crane, even in the case of 3 legs tank design.
  • Insulation - A multi-layer insulation (super insulation), new inner support system and high vacuum with absorbent to ensure long holding time and low evaporation rate
  • Piping - Stainless steel piping for reliability and long life, ergonomically arranged workplace, flow diagram and gauges at eye level
  • Valves - Stainless / bronze valves, fill cluster used as filling module
  • Pressure Control - An easy adjustable multifunctional regulator serves as pressure regulator, economizer and thermal relief valve.
    An aluminum flat fin PBU coil as standard.
  • Instrumentation - A high quality cryogenic pressure gauge and differential pressure content gauge are standard with optional switches, transmitter and / or telemetry unit.
  • Safety - Tanks are equipped with dual relief system with a variety of options, accommodating relief valves and / or rupture discs.
  • Cleanliness - All tanks and their components are cleaned and certified for oxygen service.
  • Outer Finish - High–gloss white paint with excellent corrosion resistance, patented engineered Siloxan coating with low VOC
    content
  • Transport - Rugged internal supports for safe transportation by road, rail or container

EVT tanks are designed in accordance with the requirements for safe, easy and economical operation. Many of the features have been incorporated in close collaboration with leading industrial gas companies. EVT series tanks are vertical, stationary, pressure vessels with multi-layer insulation for long term storage of cryogenic liquefied gases under pressure such as nitrogen (LIN), oxygen (LOX), and argon (LAR), and/or carbon dioxide (LCO2) or nitrous oxide (LN2O) and their withdrawal in gaseous or liquid state.

EVT series are available in capacities of 3,000 and 6,000 litres with pressures of 19, 26
and 37 bar in accordance with and conforming to EC directive 97/23/EC (PED - pressure equipment directive).

Tank design is in accordance with EN 13458-2.

1) Filling 95% (equilibrium state at 0 barg)
2) Filling 95% (equilibrium state at 10 barg). If the tank specification states a different filling, the net volume changes proportionally.
3) Nominal Evaporation Rate per 24 hours according EN12213.
4) Stated rates are for short term withdrawal (up to 3 hrs) at 10 bar
5) For N2 rate multiply by 0.88, for Ar rate multiply by 1.01
6) Stated rates are at 15 bar and ambient temperature 10°C
