Overview

Cryogenic liquid tanks store industrial gases as liquids at very low temperature (liquid oxygen at about -183 °C, liquid nitrogen at about -196 °C), which takes far less space than the same mass of compressed gas. A stainless steel inner vessel sits inside an outer shell with vacuum insulation between them; a pressure-building circuit keeps the tank at working pressure and a vaporiser turns liquid into gas for use. Micro-bulk tanks replace cylinder banks at hospitals, breweries, workshops and plants, while vertical or horizontal bulk tanks serve larger users. FGR Online supplies these tanks as Hong Hui Machinery's registered distributor for Southern Africa and quotes the medium, capacity, pressure class and delivery to suit your site.

Typical applications

  • Liquid oxygen for medical supply, welding, cutting and water treatment
  • Liquid nitrogen for inerting, purging, food freezing and laboratories
  • Liquid argon for welding and metal fabrication
  • Liquid CO2 for beverage carbonation and food processing
  • LNG storage for fuel and process use
