Using radar-based level measurement improves efficiency and safety at LNG import terminals Hdkan Jubel,business development manager for cryogenic storage at Emerson
The cryogenic full-containment tanks used for storing LNG are large,complex structures with a typical capacity of between 30,000 and 200,000 cubic metres.These vessels include an inner liquid containment steel tank,an outer concrete(or steel) tank for secondary containment control,and thermal insulation between the two to avoid liquid boil-off during storage.Because these vessels are so technically advanced,their design and construction requires significant investment from tank farm operators,and payback times can be lengthy.It is therefore important to implement accurate and reliable tank gauging systems that will help in maximising storage capacity and throughput,as well as minimising maintenance costs,thereby ensuring a faster return on investment,according to the US Emerson company,whose headquarters are in St.Louis,Missouri.
