LNG Solutions
LNG Storage and Transportable Tanks, Satellite Plants, Regasification Stations
KAF Cryogenics provides complete LNG storage, transportation and regasification solutions for satellite plants, virtual pipeline projects, off-grid industrial supply, energy applications and other LNG projects. The scope includes vacuum-insulated storage tanks, semi-trailers, ISO tank containers and equipment integration for LNG transfer and regasification.
Stationary storage tanks are double-walled, vacuum-insulated pressure vessels with a stainless steel inner vessel (typically grade 304L) and perlite insulation in the vacuum space, configured in vertical or horizontal orientation according to the required storage capacity, downstream gas demand and site conditions. Standard MAWP options are in the 5 to 10 bar range, designed to EN 13458 and the EU Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU). Boil-off gas is managed through an economizer circuit that routes vapor taken from the top of the tank back into the downstream system rather than venting it, reducing product loss during standing storage; each tank is fitted with dual pressure relief valves and rupture discs via a diverter valve as standard.
For transport applications, standard semi-trailer capacities include 50, 52 and 56 m³, with 20 ft and 40 ft ISO container options also available. LNG solutions can be integrated with satellite plant and virtual pipeline arrangements so that storage, transfer and regasification equipment, including vacuum-insulated piping and ambient vaporizers, are considered as a coordinated system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does an LNG solution include?
Depending on the project, the scope can include vacuum-insulated storage tanks, semi-trailers, ISO tank containers, transfer equipment and regasification equipment for satellite plant or virtual pipeline applications.
What storage configurations are available?
Vertical and horizontal vacuum-insulated pressure vessels are available, with a stainless steel inner vessel and perlite insulation. Capacity, pressure and connection arrangements are selected according to project requirements.
What MAWP range is available for LNG equipment?
Standard MAWP options range from 5 to 10 bar, designed to EN 13458 and the EU Pressure Equipment Directive (2014/68/EU). The final design pressure is confirmed for the intended equipment and project.
How is boil-off gas managed?
Boil-off gas is routed through an economizer circuit from the top of the tank back into the downstream system rather than being vented, reducing product loss and operating cost during standing storage.
What safety devices are fitted as standard?
Each tank is fitted with dual pressure relief valves and rupture discs via a diverter valve as standard.
Can storage and regasification be supplied as one project scope?
Yes. LNG solutions can combine storage, transfer and regasification equipment, particularly for satellite plants and virtual pipeline applications. The exact scope is defined from the project requirements.
What transport capacities are available?
Standard LNG semi-trailer capacities include 50, 52 and 56 m³. 20 ft and 40 ft ISO container options are also available.
