Spherical Storage Tanks

Spherical Storage Tanks is a kind of effective and economical pressure vessel for storing and transporting various gases, liquids and liquefied gases, the shell is spherical.

Details Display

Spherical Storage Tanks are efficient and economical pressure vessels designed to store and transport a wide range of gases, liquids and liquefied gases. Due to its unique spherical structure, it is superior to traditional cylindrical storage tanks in terms of force uniformity, load carrying capacity, material savings and footprint.Chengde, with its rich industry experience and expertise, provides high-quality Spherical Storage Tanks solutions, which are widely used in the chemical, petroleum, oil refining, marine, city gas, food processing, Medical, environmental protection and other industries.


Product Advantages

Optimized Structure: Uniform Stress Distribution and Higher Safety

Spherical Storage Tanks, with no sharp corners and no welded areas, can minimize stress concentration when storing pressurized gases and cryogenic liquids, avoiding material fatigue or rupture caused by uneven local stress.

Saving material cost and improving economy

Under the condition of the same wall thickness, Spherical Storage Tanks have the highest pressure-bearing capacity, and their wall thickness is only 1/2 of cylindrical storage tanks of the same diameter and material. Moreover, under the same storage volume, the spherical structure is 30% to 40% smaller than the cylindrical tanks in terms of external surface area, which significantly reduces the amount of steel used and lowers the manufacturing cost.

Smaller footprint, higher land utilization rate

Compared with traditional cylindrical storage tanks, Spherical Storage Tanks require less floor space per unit storage volume, which is especially suitable for industrial land-constrained scenarios, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, city gas storage stations, etc.

Suitable for a wide range of environments: ambient, cryogenic and ultra-cryogenic storage

Spherical Storage Tanks can be used in high-temperature, high-pressure, low-temperature and ultra-low-temperature (below -50°C) environments, and can be equipped with an advanced insulation system to ensure that the stability of the storage object is maintained under different working conditions.

Low maintenance and long life

Due to the greater durability of the spherical structure, it has a longer service life than conventional storage tanks and lower maintenance costs. At the same time, the small surface area of Spherical Storage Tanks reduces the risk of corrosion and extends the life of the equipment.


Application

Spherical Storage Tanks are suitable for storing a wide range of industrial gases, cryogenic liquids and hazardous chemicals in a variety of industries including, but not limited to:

Petrochemical (refineries, chemical plants)

Pharmaceutical industry (liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen storage)

Energy industry (LPG, LNG, liquid hydrogen storage)

Ship and marine engineering (shipboard liquefied gas storage)

City gas supply (gas companies, gas storage stations)

Environmental industry (wastewater treatment plants, biogas storage)

Agriculture & Food Processing (CO₂ for carbonated beverage production, gas preservation)
