This Inox India Limited cryogenic liquid storage system provides high-capacity, reliable storage, pressure-building, and controlled distribution for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Built by a globally recognized leader in cryogenic engineering, this vertical vacuum-insulated vessel is designed for maximum durability, safety, and efficiency in industrial environments.
Construction & Design
The tank features a double-walled, vacuum-insulated design with a stainless steel inner vessel for superior cryogenic performance and a carbon steel outer shell for structural integrity. The vertical layout minimizes footprint while maximizing storage capacity. Integrated with a precision-engineered piping network and a comprehensive valve arrangement, the system ensures safe filling, withdrawal, venting, and pressure regulation.
Flow Scheme & Valve Configuration
The system includes a main liquid inlet and outlet for efficient product transfer, a pressure build-up valve and coil for maintaining optimal operating pressure, multiple safety relief valves to protect against over-pressurization, a gas vent valve for controlled release of excess vapor, and a liquid withdrawal valve for direct supply to downstream applications. Evacuation and purge points are provided for safe maintenance, and instrumentation ports allow accurate pressure, temperature, and level monitoring.
Safety & Operational Benefits
Equipped with multiple redundant safety relief valves to ensure compliance with international safety standards. Designed to minimize heat ingress and reduce product loss. Features an accessible valve arrangement for efficient servicing. Engineered for continuous-duty performance in demanding industrial and outdoor conditions.

Questions buyers ask
What is the current vacuum reading, and what is the NER?
The listing does not provide a current vacuum reading or normal evaporation rate (NER). For a new vacuum-insulated vessel with perlite fill of this design, typical NER for LNG is in the range of 0.25–0.5% per day, but you should request the manufacturer's performance data sheet and any factory test documentation showing actual measured values for this specific tank.
What product has it held, and what can it be converted to?
This is a new 2024 tank that has not held product in service. It is factory-configured for LOX, LIN, LAR, and LNG per the design specifications, meaning the materials, pressure relief settings, and piping are compatible with all four products without conversion, though you should verify relief valve set points and confirm any product-specific instrumentation or purity requirements for your intended service.
Is the data plate legible, and is the U-1A available?
The listing confirms the tank is ASME Section VIII, Div. I U-stamped, and as a new 2024 unit the data plate should be legible and the U-1A manufacturer's data report should be available from the fabricator. Request copies of the U-1A, the Authorized Inspector's report, and any nameplate photos to confirm National Board registration and verify all code markings are intact.
What is involved in relocating and re-commissioning it?
At 23,700 kg empty weight, 3,616 mm diameter, and 11,371 mm height, this tank will require a heavy-haul permit, crane with adequate reach and capacity, and a properly engineered foundation with anchor bolts to match the manufacturer's base detail. Re-commissioning typically involves vacuum and pressure decay testing to verify insulation integrity, calibration of instrumentation and relief devices, hydrostatic or pneumatic retesting if required by jurisdiction, and purging/inerting procedures before introducing cryogenic product—request the original installation, operating, and maintenance manuals from the seller.
