AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing LNG storage tanks suffer from bending and deformation due to excessively long inner tank support structures, which makes the coating prone to peeling off, affecting safe use. Furthermore, the slow injection of liquefied natural gas leads to instability in the inner tank structure.

Method used

Multiple linearly arranged inner tanks are installed inside the outer tank, and the inner tanks are supported by a sandwich mechanism and a saddle-type support to reduce deformation. The inner tanks are kept stable by injecting or discharging simultaneously through multiple inner tanks.

Benefits of technology

It effectively reduces inner tank deformation, prevents coating peeling, improves safety, shortens injection and discharge time, and maintains the structural stability of the inner tank.
