Problems solved by technology

As a result, the effective holding capacity of these types of tanks has been limited to more than 80% full load or less than 10% full load to avoid damage to the tank lining and insulation
The disadvantages and limitations of these tanks can be foreseen as the size of the carrier increases

Embodiment Construction

[0041] exist Figure 1-27 An example of a tank containment system 10 is shown in . exist Picture 1-1 A first example of a tank containment system 10 is shown in FIG. refer to figure 1 -3. The first example of the tank containment system 10 includes a tank 12 having a generally cuboidal configuration with six geometrically square sides oriented at substantially right angles relative to each other. Tank 12 preferably consists of twelve interconnected hollow or tubular walls ( figure 1 A single exemplary cylindrical wall 14) is shown. Although in the examples below the interconnected tubular walls are cylindrical and have a closed, generally circular cross-section, other hollow or tubular shapes are possible.

[0042] The exemplary storage tank 12 includes four vertically oriented cylindrical walls 16 positioned approximately 90 degrees apart from one another and eight horizontally oriented cylindrical walls 16 disposed between and rigidly connected to the ends of the verti...

Abstract

A bulk natural gas storage tank includes a rigid tubular wall having a closed tubular cross-section interconnected at opposite ends with two other rigid tubular walls such that the interior of the rigid tubular wall defines an interior fluid storage chamber. The storage tank also includes a divider wall positioned across the middle section of the rigid tubular wall in the interior fluid storage chamber and a closure plate connected between outer surfaces of the continuously interconnected rigid tubular walls to define the storage tank. side. The inner surface of the closure plate and the outer surface of the rigid tubular wall define an auxiliary fluid storage chamber. The tank also includes an external support structure extending through the closure plate and between the outer surfaces of the rigid tubular wall on some sides of the tank, configured to reinforce the tank against fluid from the internal fluid storage chamber dynamic load.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments disclosed herein relate generally to storage tanks, and more particularly to storage tanks for fluids, including liquids and gases. Background technique [0002] Industrial storage tanks for containing fluids such as liquids or compressed gases are common and vital to industry. Storage tanks can be used to temporarily or permanently store fluids at an on-site location, or can be used to transport fluids on land or sea. Many inventions have been made over the years relating to the construction of fluid storage tanks. One example of an unconventional fluid storage tank having a cubic shape configuration can be found in US Patent No. 3,944,106 to Thomas Lamb, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. [0003] Especially overseas, there has been a growing demand for efficient storage and long-distance transportation of fluids such as liquefied natural gas (LNG) by large ocean-going tankers or transport ships. In orde...
