Cryogenic Storage Tank Uses in Industrial Gas Plants

When selecting a Cryogenic Liquid Storage Tank for your industrial application, you need to evaluate various factors such as liquid type, capacity, pressure rating, insulation method, and your industry’s specific requirements. Whether you are in the gas business, beverage production, medical field, shipbuilding, CO2 recovery, or air separation, the right tank selection ensures both safety and efficiency in your operation.


What Is a Cryogenic Liquid Storage Tank?

A Cryogenic Liquid Storage Tank is a pressure vessel designed to store liquefied gases at ultra-low temperatures, such as LNG, liquid nitrogen (LIN), liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid argon (LAR), and liquid CO2. These tanks are widely used across industries including gas distribution, food processing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, solar energy, and environmental treatment. The tanks ensure safe containment and supply of cryogenic media while maintaining low evaporation losses.


Types of Cryogenic Liquid Storage Tanks You Can Choose

There are several tank configurations to choose from depending on your installation and usage:

  • Vertical vs Horizontal Tanks: Vertical tanks save space while horizontal tanks offer easier transport and refilling.

  • LOX, LIN, LAR, LNG, and CO2 Tanks: Choose according to your stored liquid.

  • Portable vs Stationary: Portable tanks are suited for field operations or backup supply.

  • Material Options: Stainless steel is ideal for durability and clean media; carbon steel is cost-effective but requires more maintenance.

Key Technical Specifications You Must Check

Understanding technical specs is essential to ensure compatibility and safety:

  • Capacity: Ranges from a few hundred liters to over 200m3

  • Working Pressure: 0.2–3.0 MPa depending on application

  • Insulation: Multi-layer vacuum insulation or pearlite insulation

  • Evaporation Rate: Lower is better; look for ≤0.3%/day

  • Certification: Ensure compliance with GB, ASME, or EN standards


How to Select the Right Cryogenic Storage Tank for Your Industry

Every industry has unique requirements. Here’s how to match the right tank to your operation:

  • Gas Companies: High-capacity tanks with optimal vacuum insulation

  • Medical Use: LOX tanks with high-purity oxygen compatibility

  • CO2 Recovery: Tanks must be optimized for pressure control

  • Shipbuilding: Anti-corrosion lined tanks built to marine standards

  • Solar & Food Industries: High hygiene standards with stainless steel

Cost Considerations When Purchasing Cryogenic Storage Tanks

Pricing varies based on multiple elements:

  • Tank Volume: Larger capacity equals higher cost

  • Design Pressure: Higher pressures require thicker walls and better safety systems

  • Material Choice: Stainless steel costs more upfront but lasts longer

  • Transport and Installation: Adds significant cost, especially for oversized tanks

  • Accessories: Level gauges, pressure regulators, and valves add to the total


Common Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing Cryogenic Tanks

  • Ignoring actual consumption rates – leads to undersized tanks

  • Overlooking pressure requirements – can cause safety risks

  • Not verifying international certifications – may face customs issues

  • Choosing by price only – results in higher operating costs later
