Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of sealed tanks and thermally insulated and their manufacturing processes.
- the invention relates to a tank for liquefied gas storage and, in particular, liquefied natural gas with a high methane content.
- Such a tank earth is for example disclosed in FR-A-2739675. It is also known liquefied gas storage tanks present in the carrying structure of a ship. Such a vessel vessel is for example disclosed in EP-A-0064886.
- the invention provides a sealed and thermally insulating tank integrated in a support structure for containing a fluid, in which a wall of the vessel comprises:
- a multilayer structure comprising a sealing barrier and a thermal insulation barrier disposed between the sealing barrier and the load-bearing wall, the thermal insulation barrier comprising juxtaposed heat-insulating elements, a heat-insulating element including:
- thermal insulation lining disposed in the form of a layer parallel to the supporting wall
- cover panel arranged on the support members and having a support surface parallel to the supporting wall for supporting the sealing barrier
- crosspieces are attached to the retaining rods so that a crossbeam extends between each retaining rods at the interface between two heat insulating elements
- the cover panels of the heat-insulating elements being connected to the crossmembers to be retained against the load-bearing wall via the sleepers, and the sealing barrier being bonded to the sleepers to be retained against the cover panels of the heat insulating elements through the sleepers.
- such a tank may further comprise one or more of the following characteristics.
- an anchor plate is bonded to the cross member so as to be flush with the cover panel of an adjacent insulating member, the anchor plate having a bottom surface which bears on the cover panel and an upper surface on which the sealing barrier is laid.
- the anchor plate protrudes on both sides of the crosspiece parallel to the carrier wall to cooperate with the cover panels of the two heat insulating elements between which the cross is disposed.
- the anchor plate is disposed halfway between the two retaining rods to which the cross member is attached.
- the sealing barrier comprises a metal membrane having corrugations and flat portions located between the corrugations, the anchoring plates being made of metal, the metal diaphragm being welded to the anchoring plates at the flat parts.
- the retaining rods are arranged so as to form a plurality of parallel rows on the supporting wall, and in which the rails which extend between the retaining rods of a row each bear a support. elongated weld projecting perpendicularly to the load-bearing wall between the cover panels of the heat-insulating elements adjacent to the row of retaining rods,
- the sealing barrier comprises a low-expansion steel metal membrane consisting of strips of flat sheets disposed on the cover panels of the heat-insulating elements and having raised edges towards the interior of the tank, the raised edges sheet metal strips being continuously welded to the elongated solder supports to form deformable bellows in a direction transverse to the elongated solder supports.
- the multilayer structure constitutes a primary barrier of the vessel, the vessel wall further comprising a second multilayer structure disposed between the first multilayer structure and the carrier wall, the second multilayer structure comprising a secondary sealing barrier and a secondary thermal insulation barrier disposed between the secondary sealing barrier and the supporting wall,
- Such a secondary barrier of the tank can be made with a structure identical to the primary barrier described above or with a different structure.

- An idea underlying the invention is to provide a waterproof and insulating wall structure at an advantageous cost and having a reduced assembly time.
- Some aspects of the invention start from the idea of fulfilling essential functions of the sealed and insulating tank wall by means of several decoupled structural elements, in particular to provide a thin metal membrane to ensure the sealing function, a packing of thermal insulation to provide the thermal insulation function, a relatively continuous floor wall for supporting the membrane, supporting elements to take up the hydrostatic pressure experienced by the membrane and the floor wall, and an anchoring system of the membrane which holds the membrane on the carrier wall without passing any tensile force through the floor wall or its supporting elements or the thermal insulation lining. Thanks to such a decoupling between the anchoring system and the heat insulating elements, they can be made in a simple and inexpensive form, in particular using a flexible non-structural insulation such as glass wool.

- FIG. 6 is a sectional view of another insulating and waterproof wall produced by means of modular blocks.
- FIG. 7 is a sectional view of a sealing barrier of the tank wall of FIG. 6.
- a terrestrial tank refers to a vessel whose supporting structure 1 is built on foundations fixed to the ground, be it the continental soil, the shore or an underwater soil.
- the supporting structure 1 can be built above the ground level, or be partially or completely buried.
- the supporting structure 1 is made of concrete and comprises a peripheral wall 2 with a generally cylindrical geometry and a bottom wall 3.
- the peripheral wall 2 has an outer surface with a circular section and an inner surface with a polygonal section.
- the inner surface 7 of the bottom wall 3 and the peripheral wall 2 is covered with a multilayer structure shown diagrammatically in FIG. 1, and which comprises a thermal insulation barrier 4 and a waterproof metal sealing membrane 5 liquid and gas.
- the sealing connection between the sealing membranes 5 of the bottom wall 3 and of the peripheral wall 2 is produced by means of a metal bracket 6.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 an embodiment of the thermal insulation barrier 4 is now described.
- here is meant by “above” a position located closer to the inside of the vessel and " below "a position located closer to the supporting structure, regardless of the orientation of the wall relative to the terrestrial gravitational field.
- the thermal insulation barrier 4 is made in the form of a plurality of parallelepiped heat insulating elements 10 juxtaposed on the inner surface 7, and of which Figure 2 represents a copy.
- the heat insulating element 10 comprises a rectangular or square lid panel 1 1 and a plurality of carrying pillars 12 fixed on a lower face of the lid panel 11 perpendicular to it.
- the pillars 12 bear against the surface 7 of the supporting structure.
- Putty shims 13 may be disposed at the end of the pillars 12 against the inner surface 7 in order to compensate for the unevenness of the surface 7 and thus align the cover panels 11 with a theoretical surface having a high accuracy on the whole extent of the tank. This alignment promotes uniform support of the waterproofing membrane.
- the blocks of mastic 13 are intended to work in compression and therefore do not require high adhesion characteristics.
- the dimensions of the cover panel 11 and the pillars 12 and the spacing thereof are set according to the requirements of the intended application, in particular the hydrostatic pressure to be resumed, and selected materials.
- a thickness of 35 mm for the cover panel 11 a section of 60 ⁇ 60 mm for the pillars 12 with a length of the order of one meter, and a gap between two pillars. between 25 and 30cm approximately.
- a non-structural insulating material of the glass wool type is positioned between the pillars 12 so as to form a substantially continuous insulating layer over the entire extent of the inner surface 7 of the supporting structure and filling substantially all the space 15 between the cover panel 11 and the interior surface 7.
- an anchoring device 20 forms a frame all around the heat-insulating element 10.
- the anchoring device 20 comprises four studs 21 which are permanently fixed in the structure carrier, for example sealed or screwed into the concrete, at the four corners of the insulating element 10.
- a stud 21 each carries an elongate coupler 22 which extends perpendicularly to the surface 7.
- the coupler 22 comprises in each case successively an insulating section 23, to avoid creating a too high thermal bridge with the carrier structure, a metal rod 24 which extends to the top of the pillars 12 and a cruciform connector 25 for attaching
- the insulating section 23 consists here of two elongate, parallel and parallel wooden plates 26 which connect a lower metal plate 27 to an upper metal plate 28 attached to the rod 24.
- the cruciform connector 25 has four arms that extend parallel to the cover panel 11 at a corner 17 of the cover panel. Two arms run along the two adjacent sides of the cover panel 11 at this corner 17, and two other arms extend to the opposite to cooperate with adjacent heat insulating elements.
- the cross rods 30 are fixed to the connectors 25 so that a transverse rod 30 extends along each side of the lid panel 11, each time between two connectors 25 whose arms engage in housings provided at both ends. ends of the cross rod 30.
- An attachment device may be provided for retaining the cross rod 30 on the connector 25.
- holes 31 in the connector arm 25 and corresponding holes 32 in the end of the cross rod 30 receive pins not shown to achieve this attachment.
- the crosspieces 30 thus provide a frame which surrounds the cover panel 11 and which is retained on the supporting structure by the couplers 22.
- the crosspieces 30 serve to retain both the heat-insulating element 10 and the overlying membrane on the structure carrier.
- a crosspiece 30 carries each time an anchor plate 33, located at its middle, which extends parallel to the cover panel 11 and is flush with the level of the upper surface 16 of the cover panel 11.
- anchor plate 33 is attached to the upper edge of the cross member 30 by fixing screws 34.
- the anchor plate 33 protrudes on each side of the cross member 30 to cooperate with the cover panels 11 of two heat-insulating elements 10 arranged on either side of the cross-member 30.
- the edge of the cover panel 11 has in each case a countersink 18 of thickness equal to the anchoring plate 33.
- the heat insulating element 10 is therefore retained on the support structure by four anchor plates 33 which cooperate with each of its four sides.
- FIG. 4 shows the tank wall obtained after placing the metal membrane 5 on the insulating barrier 4, which is formed by repeating the structure described above over the entire extent of a wall of the tank, that is, by forming a periodic rectangular tiling of the plane.
- the metal membrane 5 is here formed of a thin stainless steel sheet having a network of 38 and 39 intersecting waves to give it an elasticity in all directions of the plane.
- This membrane is constructed from rectangular sheet metal plates which are placed on the cover panels 11 juxtaposed heat insulating elements 10, and which are welded to the anchor plates 33 at the edges of each rectangular sheet metal plate.
- the dimensions of the rectangular sheet metal plates are determined so as to correspond to a whole number of dimensions of a cover panel 11.
- these dimensions preferably correspond to an integer number of wave steps, for example at an elementary pattern of at least two steps of the first waves 38 and at least two steps of the second waves 39.
- the pitch of the waves 38 and 39 are respectively 340mm and 503mm. If the rectangular sheet metal plate is larger than the cover panel 11, the anchor plates 33 which do not correspond to the edges of the rectangular sheet metal plate support it without being welded thereto.
- the rectangular sheet metal plates are welded together with a covering to form the sealed membrane over the entire wall of the tank. Thanks to the anchoring plates 33, the metal membrane 5 is reliably retained on the cover panels 11 without it being likely to transfer any tensile stress on the heat-insulating elements 10, since such efforts are taken directly by the anchoring device 20, namely the crosspieces 30 and the couplers 22.
- the tank has a double wall including two watertight barriers alternating with two insulating barriers.
- the first wall structure shown in Figure 4 with a second sealed and insulating barrier, disposed either above or below this first wall structure.
- This second waterproof and insulating barrier can be realized in various ways.
- the second sealed and insulating barrier is made in the same manner as the first one.
- the wall structure identical to that of Figure 4 is a secondary barrier of the tank.
- a primary barrier made in the same way is disposed on the secondary barrier.
- the elements of the secondary barrier bear the same reference numerals as in Figure 4.
- Primary barrier elements that are identical or similar to the elements of the secondary barrier bear the same reference numerals increased by the number 100.
- the primary coupler 122 is each time attached to the end of a secondary coupler 22 underlying.
- the positions of primary pillars January 12 are chosen to support between the waves of the secondary membrane 5.
- the primary coupler 122 is fixed to the end of the secondary coupler 22 by passing through the secondary membrane 5 through a perforation thereof.
- the continuity of the secondary membrane 5 is restored by means of sealed connections, for example an annular flange disposed on the primary coupler 122 above the secondary membrane 5 and whose peripheral edge is welded or bonded to the secondary membrane 5 around the perforation made.
- FIG. 5 shows a vessel wall whose primary barrier and secondary barrier are identical. Alternatively, one of these two barriers could be made differently from the other.
- the secondary membrane is not made with the stainless steel sheet but with another less expensive material, for example a composite material comprising a metal sheet bonded to one or more fiberglass mattresses by a polymer binder.
- This embodiment is particularly suitable for coating the peripheral wall 2 with a waterproof membrane 205 made of low-expansion steel strakes oriented in the vertical direction of the wall, similarly to Figure 5 of FR-A- 2739675, already cited.
- the heat-insulating element 210 is identical to the heat-insulating element 10. However, on two sides of the heat-insulating element 210 oriented in the vertical direction of the wall, the anchoring plates are removed and the cross-members 230 are modified to allow attachment of an elongated solder support 41 all along the vessel wall in the vertical direction.
- This welding support 41 is a metal wing whose bent base is inserted into a groove 40 T-shaped section which is formed in the cross 230. This groove 40 is also extended through the cruciform connectors not shown.
- a metal stringer 42 having two raised edges 43 is each placed on the cover panels 211 of the heat-insulating elements 210 forming a vertical row and continuously welded to the soldering supports 41 arranged on each side, so that the raised edges 43 form sealed bellows deformable in the transverse direction.
- FIG. 7 schematically shows the membrane 205 thus obtained with two adjacent rows of strakes 42.
- the strake 42 is simply laid without being welded, so as to slide under the effect of the thermal contraction.
- a not shown bellows can be placed at the level of the closure of the primary membrane at the top of the peripheral wall 2.
- the technique described above for making a waterproof and insulating wall can be used in different types of tanks, for example in a land installation or in a floating structure such as a LNG tank or other.
- a sealed and insulated tank of generally prismatic shape is mounted in the double hull of a methane tanker.
- the wall of the tank comprises a primary sealed barrier intended to be in contact with the LNG contained in the tank, a secondary sealed barrier arranged between the primary waterproof barrier and the double hull of the ship, and two insulating barriers arranged respectively between the sealed barrier. primary and secondary watertight barrier and between the secondary watertight barrier and the double hull.
- loading / unloading pipes arranged on the upper deck of the ship can be connected, by means of appropriate connectors, to a marine or port terminal to transfer a cargo of LNG to or from the tank.
- such a marine terminal includes a loading and unloading station, an underwater pipe and an installation on the ground.
- the loading and unloading station is an off-shore fixed installation comprising a movable arm and a tower that supports the movable arm.
- the movable arm carries a bundle of insulated flexible hoses that can connect to the loading / unloading lines.
- the adjustable swivel arm adapts to all LNG carriers.
- a connection pipe (not shown) extends inside the tower.
- the loading and unloading station allows the loading and unloading of the LNG carrier from or to the shore facility. This comprises liquefied gas storage tanks and connecting lines connected by the underwater pipe to the loading or unloading station.
- the underwater pipe allows the transfer of the liquefied gas between the loading or unloading station and the installation on land over a great distance, for example 5 km, this which makes it possible to keep the LNG ship at a great distance from the coast during the loading and unloading operations.
