LPG Storage Tank

Shapes of LPG Storage Tank

CIMC ENRIC LPG Storage Tank ranges from determining the distance requirements for each tank to determining the right space conditions for storage. You should also consider whether you want to store them vertically or horizontally. Before handling or even distributing LPG storage tanks, you must first obtain approval from the regulatory authorities. They must ensure that the facility where you intend to store the tanks is large enough to accommodate the capacity you need. You must also have a minimum workforce to manage the facility in the event of a fire, on-site fire extinguishers, etc. 

There are two basic types of above-ground propane LPG tanks: horizontal tanks and vertical tanks. Horizontal propane tanks (sometimes called "torpedo tanks") are large-capacity containers typically used where propane is the main source of heat in the home. Their increased storage capacity can limit the need for propane delivery in winter, which can help in areas where the weather is unpredictable.

CIMC ENRIC produces LPG storage tanks, mainly horizontal, for large commercial and industrial storage and transport.

Applications of LPG Storage Tanks

LPG storage tanks are used in projects that require the controlled storage and supply of liquefied petroleum gas. The appropriate tank configuration depends on the required capacity, site conditions and applicable design requirements.

LPG Distribution Facilities

Storage tanks can form part of LPG distribution facilities where bulk storage and downstream supply need to be coordinated.

Industrial LPG Storage

Industrial users may require LPG storage to support manufacturing processes and a consistent fuel supply. Capacity and operating requirements should be assessed against actual consumption and site conditions.

LPG Filling Stations

For LPG filling projects, tank selection should account for storage demand, transfer equipment, piping layout, safety accessories and local regulatory requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions About LPG Storage Tanks

How much does an LPG storage tank cost?

The price of an LPG storage tank depends on its capacity, design pressure, applicable standards, material specifications, accessories, inspection requirements and delivery destination. Contact CIMC ENRIC with your project details for a quotation.

What information is needed to request an LPG storage tank quotation?

Please provide the required storage capacity, LPG composition, design pressure and temperature, applicable design code, installation conditions, destination country and expected delivery schedule. Available project specifications or technical documents are also helpful.

Which design standards are available for LPG storage tanks?

The applicable design standard depends on the project location, customer requirements and the intended application. Confirm the required code and certification scope before placing an order.

Can LPG storage tanks be customized?

Tank configurations may be customized according to the available product range and approved engineering requirements. Capacity, design conditions, accessories and installation constraints should be reviewed before the final configuration is confirmed.

What is the difference between an LPG storage tank and an LPG spherical tank?

Horizontal LPG storage tanks and spherical LPG storage tanks serve different project requirements. The appropriate choice depends on storage capacity, site layout, engineering design, installation requirements and project economics. For large-capacity storage projects, consult the engineering team to evaluate the suitable configuration.

When using LPG tanks, the following safety measures are recommended.

It is recommended that LPG bulk tanks are installed in well-ventilated or outdoor areas and at ground level. Mechanical ventilation systems should be considered to ensure that fresh air is provided.

LPG storage tanks must be protected from any source of ignition or heat and be fire rated. Combustible materials should also be kept away from LPG tanks, as well as anything that may generate static electricity.

These units should be kept away from incompatible substances and the use of barrier systems (e.g. screen walls made of non-combustible materials) should be considered.

The use of alarm systems and air quality testing to monitor potential LPG leaks is recommended.

When operating LPG tanks, staff must wear adequate personal protective equipment to avoid freezing burns and other hazards.

A proper maintenance schedule must be ensured to avoid tank bursts and other safety issues.

Pressure-reducing valves are a common accessory for LP gas cylinders. These can help relieve pressure to prevent pressure build-up from endangering the system.

The engineering team responsible for the design and implementation of LP gas tanks must comply with the required national and international legislation and quality protocols. 

LPG tanks must be stored vertically with the valves closed. The use of appropriate restraint methods, including chains or safety belts, must also be considered.

These storage solutions must also maintain all necessary documentation documenting the safety measures taken, as well as all documentation relating to hazardous materials protocols.

Siting of the tank

There should be a minimum separation distance (called spacing distance) between the tank and any building, boundary line or fixed source of ignition. This should have been checked when the tank was installed, if you are not sure, please consult us and we will help you with the installation plan and service.

Ventilation and surroundings of the tank: In the event of a leak, there should be enough space around the tank to allow sufficient air movement so that heavier-than-air LPG vapour does not form.

Shock protection: If possible, the tank (and its accompanying pipework) should be placed away from areas of high pedestrian traffic. If this is not possible, protection from motor vehicle impact on the tank is required, e.g. crash barriers or bollards.
