DESCRIPTION
The Composite Concrete Cryogenic Tank, C3T, provides full-containment storage for cryogenic liquids such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Originally developed for large storage tanks typically found at LNG import and export terminals, it is also suitable for smaller tanks for LNG storage by distributors, users, and utilities.

A Robust Full Containment LNG Storage SolutionThe Composite Concrete Cryogenic Tank, C3T, provides full-containment storage for cryogenic liquids such as Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). Originally developed for large storage tanks typically found at LNG import and export terminals, it is also suitable for smaller tanks for LNG storage by distributors, users, and utilities.
Robust Concrete Walls Provide Price Stability over Conventional Nickel TanksThe C3T is made of prefabricated wall modules that are integrated to build strong and gas-tight monolithic primary and secondary containment walls. The walls are designed to maximize the use of conventional construction materials such as concrete, post-tensioning, and carbon steel to minimize the use of the costly and volatile 9-percent nickel steel.
Modular Construction to Reduce On-site Construction Cost and RiskThe modular construction of the C3T uses wall elements that are prefabricated off-site, significantly reducing on-site labor. Modular construction also reduces the on-site construction schedule, reduces the environmental impact during construction, enhances construction safety, and opens construction to a wider labor market.
Proven Concrete Technology for Safe and Reliable LNG StorageThe C3T takes advantage of the experience from concrete LNG tanks built before 1980 that are still in service, and the design follows the newest applicable codes by the American Concrete Institute and the American Petroleum Institute to meet the National Fire Protection Association Standard NFPA 59A. It has been subjected to risk assessment, extensive analysis, constructability review, and laboratorytesting as part of a rigorous technology qualification program to receive endorsement from DNV, an accredited certification institution, for Fitness for Service.
