A cryogenic tank is a container designed to store a liquid that is cooled below its boiling point. Generally, these liquids become gases at room temperature, however, storing these substances in their gas phase is expensive and inefficient.

A cryogenic tank can keep the substance in its liquid form by isolating the container from heat sources. That is why one of the most used ways to store large volumes of nitrogen (LIN), oxygen (LOX), argon (LAR), ethane, LNG & LPG in their liquid form are double-walled cryogenic tanks. 

These tanks are designed in accordance with API 620 and API 625 standards.

Seismic forces are very important when designing a large storage tank and many factors need to be evaluated to determine the integrity of the tank, the most important are:

• Convective forces

• Impulsive forces

• Hydrostatic forces

• Sloshing wave

Seismic design is evaluated in accordance with API 650 Ann. E or CFE MDOC 2015

After a tank is built and its service period begins, several periodic inspections, cleaning, replacement parts and, in some cases, repairs will be necessary. The cost of corrective maintenance can be very high depending on its nature, but in no case does it compensate for the lack of preventive service.

This is why we offer our clients the Maintenance Plan Service (MPS) in which all periodic inspections are carried out to guarantee and prolong the useful and safe service life of the tank at the lowest cost. Releasing our client from the burden and responsibility of this task.
