A LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) Storage Tank is a specialised type of storage tank used for the storage of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas). A LNG Storage tanks is the ability to store LNG at the very low temperature of -162 °C (-260 °F). LNG storage tanks have double containers, where the inner contains LNG and the outer container contains insulation materials. The most common tank type is the full containment tank. Tank dimensions are typically in the order of 80~90m in diameter and 50m in height with a wall thickness in the order of 750mm, the storage volumes for this size of regasification or liquefaction plant have exceeded 160,000m^3. Most LNG projects have targeted throughputs greater than 1000 MMSCFD or 7MMTPA.
