Chart Ferox, a.s.VT series of cryogenic 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.

VT series tanks are vertical, stationary, pressure vessels with perlite 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.

VT series are available in capacities from 3,000 to 60,000 litres with pressures of 12,6; 16,5; 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 AD 2000 Merkblatt and EN 13458-2.

In addition to 57 standard models, the VT series also offers wide range of options for special applications. Chart Ferox´s other series of tanks, the VTC series, provides high-efficiency, economical vacuum-insulated storage of liquefied carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide.

Chart Ferox also offer specialized range of tanks for liquefied natural gas VT – LNG Series.

The newest Chart Ferox series, EVT series, are super-insulated tanks with 3 legs design in capacities 3,000 and 6,000 liters capacities.

Tanks outside VT, EVT and VTC range are also available upon request. Finally, Ferox manufactures customized vertical and horizontal storage tanks with capacities up to 700.000 liters, as well as supplies vaporizers, vacuum insulated pipeline and other components needed to create a complete “customer” installation.
