On May 31, after careful preparation by all departments, under the guidance of equipment manufacturer engineers and witnessed by AI and BV classification society, CET successfully completed the strain strengthening of the first 45ft cryogenic tank.

The strain strengthening technology mainly has the following advantages: first, save material, can greatly improve its stress, and make the equipment wall thickness thinner, can realize the effective reduction of the weight of equipment. Two, energy saving and emission reduction, in the process of manufacturing cryogenic containers, reducing the wall thickness, will then reduce the equipment welding and equipment molding required manual consumption and energy. Three, the use of this technology to manufacture cryogenic containers, can reduce the bulk density ratio, enhance its competitiveness.

The design of LNG cryogenic storage tanks shows a trend of lightweight. Strengthening the application of strain strengthening technology in LNG cryogenic storage tanks can promote the further exploitation of material potential, reduce material cost, and optimize structure.
