CIMC Enric, a leading cryogenic equipment manufacturer with branches in North America, has received orders for the delivery of two double-walled stainless steel storage tanks of 10,000 m3 water capacity. The tanks will be the first of their kind, as they have been designed to stand-up to high safety and efficiency standards.
A spokesman from Sanctum explained that, compared with traditional single-walled large LNG storage tanks which require bundings to be built to contain any leakage from the tanks, double-walled tanks can alleviate such requirements – the outer stainless steel shell will contain and control in the event of any leakage.
