LCO2

FEATURES OF HARSAN TANKS

Carbon dioxide (CO2) exhibits a distinct structural composition compared to other cryogenic gases, leading to unique design considerations for Liquefied Carbon Dioxide (LCO2) tanks. These tanks, designed for long-term storage of liquid carbon dioxide, can be configured either vertically or horizontally, with evaporation rates kept exceptionally low through high-performance thermal insulation.

There are two main types of isolation for liquid carbon dioxide tanks:

Polyurethane Isolation Tanks: These tanks are designed to efficiently store liquid carbon dioxide, even in environments with elevated air temperatures and humidity. The main tank is enveloped in polyurethane. The strong adherence of the polyurethane to the tank’s surface prevents air contact, reducing the risk of corrosion. The polyurethane insulation is further protected by an aluminum jacket, mitigating potential mechanical damages and the impact of humidity on the insulation.

Perlite – Vacuum Insulated Tanks: Double-walled LCO2 storage tanks with perlite-vacuum insulation can be manufactured in both vertical and horizontal configurations. The high-quality perlite vacuum insulation ensures safe, flexible, and cost-effective operation.

Our design standards adhere to industry benchmarks such as AD MERKBLATT CODE 2000, EN 13458, EN 13530, ADR 2013, and ASME Sec VIII Div1. Additionally, we offer design and manufacturing services in accordance with various local standards based on customer requests.
APPLICATION AREAS
LCO2 storage tanks are crucial in industries requiring the storage and transport of Liquefied Carbon Dioxide. They are commonly used in food and beverage manufacturing, medical applications, and other processes where controlled CO2 supply is necessary.
