Definitions

  • the invention relates to the field of sealed and thermally insulating tanks with membranes, for the storage and / or transport of fluid, such as a cryogenic fluid.
  • Sealed and thermally insulating membrane tanks are used in particular for the storage of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which is stored, at atmospheric pressure, at approximately -162 ° C.
  • LNG liquefied natural gas
  • the document FR2996520 describes a sealed and thermally insulating tank for the storage of liquefied natural gas having a multilayer structure retained in a supporting structure.
  • Each wall has successively, in the direction of thickness, from the outside to the inside of the tank, a secondary thermally insulating barrier retained on the supporting structure, a secondary waterproofing membrane resting against the secondary thermally insulating barrier, a primary thermally insulating barrier resting against the secondary waterproofing membrane and a primary waterproofing membrane carried by the primary thermally insulating barrier and intended to be in contact with the liquefied natural gas contained in the tank.
  • the primary and secondary thermally insulating barriers respectively comprise a plurality of primary and secondary insulating panels of rectangular parallelepiped shape which are juxtaposed in parallel rows. The longitudinal directions of the primary insulation panels are parallel to those of the secondary insulation panels.
  • Each primary insulating panel is placed astride four secondary insulating panels.
  • each primary insulating panel is anchored at each of its four corners on an anchoring member fixed to the center of the internal face of one of the secondary insulating panels which it overlaps.
  • the primary and secondary waterproofing membranes each consist of a plurality of metal sheets comprising corrugations and allowing them to deform under the effect of stresses. thermal and mechanical generated by the fluid stored in the tank.
  • the metal sheets of the secondary waterproofing membrane are anchored to the secondary insulation panels and the metal sheets of the primary waterproofing membrane are anchored to the primary insulation panels.
  • the sealed and thermally insulating tanks for the storage of liquefied natural gas are equipped with sealed pipes each passing through a singular zone of one of the walls to define a passage between the interior space of the tank and the outside of the tank. This is particularly the case at the level of the ceiling wall which is crossed by a sealed pipe opening into the upper part of the internal space of the tank and thus defining a vapor passage between the internal space of the tank and a manifold. of steam arranged outside the tank.
  • a sealed pipe thus makes it possible to avoid generating, inside the tank, an excess pressure capable of being produced by the natural evaporation of the liquefied natural gas stored inside the tank.
  • such a sealed pipe generally has a smaller diameter than the width of the primary and secondary insulation panels as described in the document FR2996520 aforementioned, this diameter is however likely to be sufficiently large so that, given the arrangement of the primary insulating panels straddling the secondary insulating panels, said sealed pipe cannot pass through a primary insulating panel and a secondary insulating panel without at least one cutout is made in an edge of one or more primary or secondary insulating panels.
  • the formation of a cutout in an edge of an insulating panel is not desirable because it reduces the rigidity of said insulating panel and weakens its mechanical strength.
  • a cutout made in an edge of an insulating panel is also likely to lead to more stress certain areas of the metal plates bordering the sealed pipe, in the singular area of the tank wall.
