How to Prevent Frost Heaving in Cryogenic Tanks
How to Prevent Frost Heaving in Cryogenic Tanks Cryogenic tanks are essential in receiving and storing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) up to -162°C which can be described as cryogenic conditions due to the extreme low temperatures. LNG is produced when natural gas has been cooled and condensed into its liquid state at -162°C. The benefit of LNG being in a liquid state is that this allows for easier transportation as LNG occupies 600 times less space than in its... Read More
