Cryogenic Liquid Storage Tank

Engineered for Compliance, Safety, and Long-Term Reliability

Choosing a cryogenic liquid storage tank is not a simple equipment purchase. It is a long-term infrastructure decision that directly affects operational safety, regulatory approval, and total lifecycle cost.

This page is written from a procurement and engineering decision-making perspective, addressing the technical and commercial concerns international buyers typically evaluate before approving a cryogenic storage system.


What International Buyers Evaluate First

Before comparing prices, experienced buyers focus on five fundamentals:

  1. Regulatory compliance in the destination country

  2. Safety and risk control under real operating conditions

  3. Thermal performance and evaporation loss over time

  4. System compatibility with downstream equipment

  5. Supplier credibility and long-term service capability

Our cryogenic liquid storage tanks are engineered around these priorities—not marketing claims.


Product Overview

Our Cryogenic Liquid Storage Tanks are vacuum-insulated pressure vessels designed for the safe storage of liquefied industrial gases, including:

  • Liquid Nitrogen (LN₂)

  • Liquid Oxygen (LO₂)

  • Liquid Argon (LAr)

  • Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)

  • Liquid Carbon Dioxide (LCO₂)

They are widely used in industrial gas supply systems, energy projects, medical facilities, laboratories, food processing, and LNG fueling applications.

Each tank is designed as part of a complete cryogenic storage system, not as an isolated vessel.

Thermal Insulation & Evaporation Control

Long-term operating cost is largely determined by thermal performance.

Insulation Systems:

  • Vacuum perlite insulation

  • Super vacuum multi-layer insulation (MLI)

Design Focus:

  • Stable vacuum integrity

  • Low daily evaporation rate

  • Reduced product loss and pressure fluctuation

These features are especially critical for LNG and liquid oxygen applications where boil-off management directly impacts safety and operating expenses.
