Definitions
- an adequate storage system can be employed wherein the final storage vessels are to be eliminated and there is only utilized a simple system consisting of an above-ground, refrigerated storage tank of a sufficient capacity to receive the tender of liquefied, normally gaseous product at delivery conditions of temperature and pressure and a flat bottom cone roof refrigerated tank constructed to receive the liquid at a slow rate from the initial storage facility.
- This tank is designed to operate at sufficiently atmospheric pressure and at sub-zero temperatures of about +30 to 50 F., depending upon the liquid being stored.
