A liquefied natural gas storage tank or LNG storage tank is a specialized type of storage tank used for the storage of Liquefied Natural Gas. LNG storage tanks can be found in ground, above ground or in LNG carriers. The common characteristic of LNG Storage tanks is the ability to store LNG at the very low temperature of -162 °C (-260 °F).
The tank ruptured, spilling LNG into the city sewer system. The LNG vaporized and turned into gas, which exploded and burned. February 10, 1973, Staten Island, New York, U.S. During a cleaning operation, 42 workers were inside one of the TETCo LNG tanks, which had supposedly been completely drained ten months earlier. However, ignition occurred ...
LNG storage tanks possess a number of advantages over underground storage. As a liquid at approximately −163 °C (−260 °F), it occupies about 600 times less space than gas stored underground, and it provides high deliverability at very short notice because LNG storage facilities are generally located close to market and can be trucked to ...
One day after The Wall Street Journal reported on how Lowe's, Procter & Gamble, and UPS are converting their trucking fleets from diesel fuel to natural gas, natural gas engine technology company ...
Type B tanks limit sloshing problems, an improvement over Membrane LNG carrier tanks which may break due to sloshing impact, therefore destroying the ship's hull. This is also of prime relevance for FPSO LNG (or FLNG). In addition, IMO type B LNG tanks can sustain internal accidental damage due for example to internal equipment releases.

LNG, or liquified natural gas, is natural gas that has been cooled to the point that it is a cryogenic liquid. Its liquid state is still more than twice as dense as CNG. LNG is either dispensed from bulk storage tanks or made locally from utility pipes at LNG fuel stations.
GTT has developed and patented multiple solutions for the liquefied gas industry, in particular for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). [3] The company is the sole supplier of maritime containment tanks for LNG. [4] The current company was established through a merger between rival companies Gaztransport SA and Technigaz SA in 1994.
