How LNG Tanks Work – Step by Step

LNG Enters the Tank
After liquefaction, LNG is transferred into the storage tank through insulated pipelines. The flow is controlled carefully to avoid sudden temperature or pressure changes.

 

Temperature Is Maintained
The thick insulation keeps the LNG at -162°C, reducing heat transfer from outside. This helps keep LNG in liquid form.

 

Boil-Off Gas Is Managed
A small amount of LNG may evaporate due to slight heat entry. This vapour is called Boil-Off Gas (BOG).
BOG is collected
Re-liquefied or
Used as fuel within the plant
This prevents pressure build-up inside the tank.

 

Pressure Control
Pressure inside the tank is monitored continuously. Safety valves and control systems ensure pressure remains within safe limits.

 

LNG Withdrawal
When LNG is needed:
It is pumped out of the tank
Sent to vaporizers
Converted back into gas for pipelines

Basic Structure of LNG Tank

Inner Tank
Made of nickel steel or stainless steel
Directly holds the LNG
Can withstand very low temperatures

 

Outer Tank
Made of reinforced concrete or steel
Provides structural strength
Acts as secondary containment in case of leakage
Insulation Layer
Located between inner and outer tanks
Made of perlite, foam glass, or polyurethane
Prevents heat from entering the tank

 

Application of LNG Tank

 

Import/Export Terminals:

Import/export terminals consist of large-scale LNG storage tanks that hold liquefied natural gas until it needs to be regasified for distribution or loaded onto ships for transportation.

01

Peak Shaving Facilities:

Utilizes smaller LNG storage tanks to regulate variances in demand for natural gas. Operators will be able to store excess liquid natural gas (LNG) during low-demand periods and release it during times of peak demand.

02

Bunkering Stations:

Used for refuelling ships powered by liquefied natural gas, bunkering stations utilize LNG storage tanks as a cleaner alternative to conventional marine fuels.

03

Power Generation Plants:

LNG is used as a fuel source in some power plants, which means they need to store LNG on-site through the help of storage tanks to maintain a steady supply of natural gas for electricity generation.

04

Industrial Applications:

Some industries utilize LNG as a feedstock in chemical processes or as an energy source for factory systems, which calls for specific storage systems.

05

 

Shipping Methods

 

Sea Freight

Main option for large international delivery (container or flat rack)

Truck Transport

For domestic or short-distance delivery

Rail Transport

Optional for regional bulk shipping

Multimodal Transport

Combined sea, road, or rail for global projects

 

FAQ

 

Q: What is the difference between Type A and Type C LNG tanks?

A: Compared to IMO Type C pressurized tanks generally used on smaller vessels, Type A tanks boast 30-40 per cent greater volume efficiencies, an important feature given the additional space required for LNG as fuel compared to fuel oil.

Q: What are the different types of LNG tanks?

A: Based on their structural features and safety levels, common LNG tanks are primarily categorized into three types: Single Containment Tanks, Full Containment Tanks, and Double Containment Tanks. Their key considerations differ across safety, construction cost, and land use requirements.

Q: How to ensure the safety and compliance of LNG gas tanks? ​

A: The entire series of LNG gas tanks strictly comply with standards such as the "Technical Specification for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Vehicle Refueling Stations" GB/T 20368 and the "Gas Engineering Project Specification" GB 55009, equipped with a complete set of safety facilities, and provide complete third-party testing reports and special equipment registration certificates to ensure acceptance by emergency management, market supervision and other departments.
