Abstract

1,248,591. Liquefied gas storage containers. W. HAMILTON. 21 Jan., 1969 [26 Jan., 1968], No. 4299/68. Heading F4P. The upper open end of a container suitable for storing cold liquefied gas e.g. methane is closed by a tray-like member 11, 12, Fig. 2, containing water ice which forms a barrier layer between the interior of the container and an outer domed cover 18. The container shown is of the inground instruction and the tray which is formed by a platform 8 of aluminum is provided with sand-filled corrugations 14 covered by sheets of bitumen impregnated material having upturned peripheral edges 11 and is supported on lateral beams 14A suspended by rods 16 from outer cover beams 17 and resting on a peripheral beam 15 which is also suspended from the outer cover beams 17. The periphery of the tray is sealed from the outer cover by an inverted U- shaped steel band 24 having one leg 28 Fig. 5 embedded in the ice and the other leg embedded in a frozen sand-filled trench 26 in the ground 2. An outer steel band 29 has its lower edge embedded in trench 26 and has an out-turned flange 30 welded to a steel ring beam 19; the space between bands 24, 29 being filled with heat insulating material 32 which also extends above the ice layer 13. The ends of beams 17 and the periphery of the cover 18 are welded to the beam 19 and the space 31 between the cover 18 and the ice barrier 13 is filled with nitrogen. Fig. 6 shows an above ground container having an outer concrete wall 38, a heat insulating layer 32 and a sheet metal lining 37 the upper end of which is turned inwardly and downwardly and is embedded in the ice barrier.
