LPG Storage Tanks are used to store LPG gas in many filling stations and chemical companies. Construction of the tanks must be strictly inspected and controlled by government departments for LPG is flammable and explosive. Customers may ask for what material is used for LPG tank manufacturing. First, if you can receive our Chinese Standard, Q345R material is widely used, safe and low cost. And flanges and pipelines on LPG tank must be selected according to GB150 pressure vessel code. SA 516 Gr.70 and SA 612 Gr.70 is available if you need ASME standard product, and we also have ability to design and manufacture many other pressure vessels like LPG Tank Trailers, LPG Tank Trucks and so on.

LPG Gas is widely used for heating and cooking with little environment pollution. And it must be stored with professional pressure vessel for the medium is flammable and explosive. Since capacity of LPG filling stations is different and varied, LPG storage tanks come in many different sizes, ranging from 5,000 liters to 200,000 liters and aboveground, mounded and underground models are offered as per need. Tank sizes commonly used show as follow, and no matter what type you require in a LPG storage tank, We Chusheng have a LPG tank solution for your business. Volume (cubic meter) Diameter (mm) shell thickness (mm) head thickness (mm)

Today, several gas manage department leaders, from Jianxi Province, China, go to a LPG filling station to inspect LPG Storage Tanks, vavles, pipelines and other refilling equipments. The LPG sales is increasing recently for many people worked outside go back to their hometown near the Spring Festival. The leaders do inspection work carefully to keep safe for LPG filling operation. Gas station manager Mr. Bi, who have bought two pieces of 20,000 liters LPG storage tank and one unit 60cbm LPG storage tank last year, prepare for the inspection work. Inspectors measure the thickness of tank body and head to make sure whether corrosion allowance is ok or not, other leakage work including valves, LPG pump, pipelines are checked one by one, and at last, they check up all technical documents. Every aspect is done very well and inspection work bring to a successful close.

Today, two pieces of 50cbm LPG Storage Tanks are hoisted on a semi trailer and will be transported to China Gas Holdings Co.,LTD, which is one of the largest gas company in China. China Gas has more than 100 LPG distribution sites and is satisfied with our products this time. The tanks are designed with an inner diameter of 2700mm and a total length of 9182mm, and beautiful LOGO "China Gas" is painted on the surface of tank body in the middle. We designed the units with magnetic level meter, which is commonly used in domestic. 1" pipe orifice is reserved on the body, which can be seen from the picture. And other models and specifications can be provided if you need.

The safety valve plays an important role in the outcome of a fire impingement. It performs the safe discharge and avoiding a lot of over heated liquid producing by releasing the inside pressure of the LPG storage tanks.The safety valve on the tanks should be the type of spring full open and obtration. The tanks with volume of 100 m3 or more should be fixed with two or more safety valves which connect discharge tubes. The diameter of discharge tubes should not be less than that of the valve exits. The nozzle of discharge tubes should be 2 m higher than the operation flat of LPG storage tanks and 5m higher than ground.Also,a valve must be fixed between the relief valves and tanks. With the increase in the use of LPG,some accidents of fire and explosion increases.More efficient protective measures should be studied further.The safety valve will open when the pressure in the LPG storage tank is full so that avoid the explosion accure.

The LPG storage tank is provided with a pump well for installing a submersible pump.The pump well is designed in such a way that it can be isolated from the storage tank in case the cover flange is removed and the tank is filled with LPG. Each LPG storage tank is provided with the following valves and fittings in addition to those for LPG compound: a) shut-off valve with closing mechanism and excess flow valve for pump well inlet; b) shut-off valve and excess flow valve for pump bypass and dispenser return;and c) vapour balance valve between the pump well and storage tank complete with closing mechanism. The LPG pump of appropriate design to meet the operating characteristics of the filling system and suitable for Zone application is installed in the pump well of the LPG storage tank so as to reduce the amount of space required,the chance of tampering and impact by vehicles. A by-pass valve is installed in

LPG storage tanks, LP gas piping, and other LPG systems are just like anything else, they sometimes require repair and maintenance. Fortunately, Chusheng pressure vessel company is able to perform needed repairs on propane tanks, LP gas systems, and many propane appliances. LPG Tanks will likely need repairs if they are not properly maintained. LPG storage tanks beyond repair are taken out of service as required by law for safety reasons. Preventative maintenance helps avoid costly tank repairs and extends the propane tanks service life. Propane tank repairs are generally made when the tank is empty. Replacing propane valves and parts that are in direct communication with the inside of the LP gas tank include the fill valve, relief valve, parts of the service valve, and the float assembly of the percentage gauge. LPG Bullet tanks do not have to be empty for repairs such as: replacing the dial chamber of the percentage gauge tightening the dial screws of a leaking percentage gauge tightening threaded valves regulator replacement or pigtail replacement propane tank leveling and painting (dep

The person who want to build LPG filling station may ask for the following questions.How much area dose it need for a new LPG filling station? How long distance should we reserve for the safety acquirement between LPG storage tank and enclosure wall.We can find the foundation from the LPG safety rules.In fact,the safety distance is very important for LPG filling station. The safety distance can reduce the radiant energy of burning section to near tanks and equipment,avoiding them igniting and the fire extending.For the LPG is characterized by big fire hazards,the safety distance for tanks should be considered as big.The safety distance for prevention of fires is not allowed less than the diameter of the bigger tank in the both.The tanks laid by groups should set a single one.The safety distance between one group and other group is not less than 20 m.The safety distances between the tanks or tanks section and construction,stack field,road as so on ought to fit with the fire code. A fire took place at a LPG station of Mexico national petroleum company on 10th of November 1984,because of pipe line leakage.The fire produced a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion and caused 650 person died,6 000 persons injured an

A very important function of the typical LPG storage plant is to transfer LPG into LPG tank truck for delivery to customers.How efficiently and rapidly these LPG trucks can be filled often determines the number of customers that can be served each day,as well as how many LPG tank trucks are required to satisfactorily serve all customers.Therefore,the selection of an ESV for the LPG trucks liquid loading line should be done with care so as to maximize efficiency in filling and have year-round dependability. The liquid Emergency Shut-off Valve has a full open port so that the restrictions of flow would be no more than you would expect through an equivalent length of 2" schedule 80 pipe. To improve the overall efficiency of the system,the valve was also designed as an operating valve so it could replace an existing globe or angle valve already installed at the end of the fixed piping. Thus,installing an ESV could actually result in a more efficient pumping operation than the existing system. Equally important in the consideration of an ESV is its performance in an emergency,especially LPG truck pull-aways.According to the NPGA,it is the LPG truck filling transfer process that produces almost 99% of all bulk plant accidents and fires.Therefore,when selecting the proper ESV for LPG tank truck filling,als

A variety of industries use LPG cylinders for many applications. Storage and handling of these cylinders depends upon the type, size and use. A few storage and handling requirements apply to all these LPG Storage Tanks. Of primary interest is the flammability of LPG at temperatures between 0 and 120 degrees F. This guide will discuss the storage and handling of portable cylinders smaller than 100-pound gross weight, but not the small butane single use canisters used in the food service industries. Most liquefied petroleum gases used in industry are not classified as toxic. The greatest hazard in working with these LPG storage tanks is the risk of fire or explosion. Common uses for LPG include: Acetylene for welding and cutting is dissolved in acetone to reduce the chances of auto-polymerization. This allows high-volume storage of acetylene at low pressures; Propane for lift truck motor fuel is normally mounted horizontally in a specially designed bracket. Specific training is required to a

The layout of an LPG filling station should be designed in such a way so as: a) to minimize the likelihood of impact onto an LPG Tank Truck or LPG Tank Trailer while it is entering or leaving the site; b) to take into consideration of road width,gradient,turning radius,line of sight,traffic volume and vehicle speed; c) to provide convenient access and egress for the road tanker; d) to enable the road tanker and all other refilling vehicles to drive into and out of the site in a forward direcetion without having to reverse into the site from the main road; e) to provide a designated parking area large enough for the road tanker during unloading operation; f) to provide designated areas for dispensing bays; g) to provide adequate illumination around the dispensing area of the forecourt and road tanker unloading area for safety purposes at all times of use;

How can you measure the amount of LPG gas remaining in a storage tank? It is very important for operater to read the level meter of LPG Storage Tank in a LPG station.Then magnetic level meter is widely used on the tank to solve the problem. Magnetic level meter is made up of vent plug,indicator,float chamber,indicator tube and drain flange. The basic magnetic level meter offers simple visual level indication.By using the LT-1 transmitter,a 4-20mA signal can be sent to a remote location for indication or control functions.Additionally,level swithches can be added,external to the float chamber,for alarm or control.These swithches can easily be moved up or down the float chamber without shutting down or disturbing the process. The float chamber is typically a 2 1/2 inch stainless steel pipe with process connections that match those of the vessel.Some standard configurations are described in Table 1 on the facing page. All gages are custom made;any piping configuration is available. The float construction is determined by the process fluid,

It is common to see the surface of LPG Storage Tank is painted white, in order to reflect the heat of solar flux. The estimated noon value for a cloudless day in summer is roughly 1010W/m2.A black object would absorb 90% of that value, while a white-painted propane container would absorb 20 to 30% of it.The higher,the smooth and cleanliness in the surface of tank,the less absorbs heat. Researcher has used two 100,000L LPG Storage Tanks to make test for the LPG tank heated by the solar flux in the two days of July. Both tanks were not insulated,but white was painted.The tanks with a 16m long cylindrical section,2.9m inside diameter,and hemispherical ends,weighted the mass of contained propane 49,100kg and were filled liquid 90%.This test shows that while the ambient temperature went through a more or less sinusoidal cycle,the tank temperature changed only a few degrees. The protection is spraying water to the surface of tank to form a water film or a water curtain that protects the tank from fire.Sufficient water supply and dependable operating system will ensure rapid work for the LPG Storage Tank.

LPG Storage Tank is used for storing LP gas with 18 bar pressure,we need to make the hydrostatic test to inspect the quality of pressure vessel product in the manufacture process.The following is the step of the hydrostatic test. (1) the test medium appropriate uses clean fresh water. Austenitic stainless steel containers with water as medium pressure test, the content of chlorine ion in the water is not more than 25 PPM. Allowed to have two style is less than the specified value, but it is less than the specified value of 70% is allowed only one. (2) from the highest and lowest in facilities and convenient for observation of pressure test,We set up two pieces of pressure gauge. Upper and lower two pieces of pressure gauge range should be the same, and after checking. Pressure range of LPG Storage Tank is not less than 1.5 times and no more than 3 times the test pressure. (3) open the vent valves should be taken before the test liquid. Liquid slowly to design pressure, after confirm no leakage after continue to step up to the test pressure, pressure maintaining time not less than 30 minutes, and then the pressure drop to 80% in the test pressure and inspection on all of the welded joint and connection parts. (4) the eligibility criteria: no leakage; No visible deformation; No abnormal noise in the experiment. Under the water, after the standard tensile strength steel container limit is greater than or

It is said that many LPG Storage Tanks or vessel should be horizontal,and in general observation it is horizontal.I want to know that what is design logic behind it. Originally for large LPG Storage Tanks ,the inventory control was based on measurements made by a person who had to climb up a ladder to read the gauge glasses on the tank.For large tanks,this would have meant a lot of extra climbing and would discourage the operators from do their job as well as they should.To make it easier,they used horizontal tanks which limited the amount of climbing. Another factor is the need for NPSH for the transfer pumps,this can mean extra height for the bottom of the tank so it can be fully emptied.In some cases this could add an additional 5 to 15 feet to the skirt on a vertical LPG Storage Tanks.This increases wind loading and the need for a larger foundation. For the same tank volume the vertical tank will have slightly higher pressure at low point due to static head effect.So in time from fill to empty pressure cycle will be greater for vertical tank. Most LPG Storage Tanks are mass produced.Their thickness is worked out to the nearest 1/10th of a mi

LPG is widely used for oil and gas companies, but little people know its distribution chain, following is LPG distribution chain: Step 1 Oil & gas production Oil refinery process and refine oil & gas into more useful products such as petroleum naphtha,gasline,diesel fuel and liquefied petroleum gas. Step 2 Transportation LPG is transported from one refinery to another by sea or by LPG Tank Trailer. Step 3 Refining & Storage Oil refinery make it into LPG and storage it with LPG Storage Tanks or ball tank. Step 4 Transportation LPG products storaged in large city will be moved to many small LPG station in countries. Step 5

People all over the world need fuel for their cars, trucks, and their lives, LPG gas is widely used. Gas stations can be good investments and profit margins have been growing in recent years. However, successfully opening and running a LPG Filling Station requires smart planning . You will need to make a business plan, choose a location, design and install the equipments, and run your store effectively. First,you should get a professional opinion about estimated expenses and income.An analysis of the local market and competition will need to be included.Provide a detailed plan of the organization and management of the business and make a detailed budget and estimation of start up costs.Most gas station owners are liable for any gas and spills from underground LPG Storage Tanks under EPA or other equivalent regulations. It will cost you much to buy LPG stations equipments such as LPG storage tanks,ball valves,LPG pump,pipes and so on. Second,Choosing a Location for Your LPG Filling Station.Market analysis has shown that one of the top things a consumer thinks about in choosing a gas station is location.Customers will want a location that is along a major route to work and convenient in terms of traffic patterns.Look into areas where there is a lot of growth, such as around major cities. Consider hiring a modeler to work with you. Many companies exist for site modeling. These professionals

Mr. Liu and Yang, from Jiangxi Province, come to visit our pressure vessel factory and purchase 2 pieces of 100cbm LPG Storage Tanks today.

They visit our production line, paint spray booth, NDT room, heat treatment furnace, sand blasting room and inspect our quality control system. They say yes to our LPG Storage Tanks and LPG Tank Trailers products at last. Sales manager take them to visit Suizhou museum and hear Bianzhong music, which is quite famous made hundreds years ago, after signing the LPG Storage Tank contract.

When it comes to building a LPG Station, it is important to choose the type of LPG Storage Tanks at the beginning. There are many differences such as land requirements, safety and cost between aboveground and underground LPG tanks. Consider the following before you make your decision. Land Requirements Underground types will need less land compared with aboveground units for the safety distance from tanks to walls will reduce by half according to design codes. So underground ones will be more popular if your local land price is quite expensive. Aboveground type Safety Generally, people thinks that underground LPG tanks are safer than aboveground tanks. One reason is that it`s easier for these tanks to stay temperate in extreme weather, especially in the freezing cold. The other is Underground LPG Tanks are safer in the event of a leak. In fact, both type are safe for the project will do NDT and air tightness test before filling LPG gas and many advance inspection equipments like leakage alarm are fitted to ensure the station is safe.
