LCO2

LCO2 Liquid Carbon Dioxide Storage Tanks

Carbon dioxide (CO2) presents a different structural composition compared to other cryogenic gases. Consequently, we develop unique design solutions for Liquid Carbon Dioxide (LCO2) tanks. Furthermore, we manufacture these tanks for the long-term storage of liquid CO2. Moreover, through high-performance thermal insulation, we keep boil-off rates exceptionally low.

Insulation Technologies for LCO2 Tanks

We offer two main insulation types for liquid carbon dioxide storage tanks. Furthermore, we customise both options according to each project requirement.

Polyurethane Insulated Tanks

We design these tanks to store liquid CO2 efficiently even in high-temperature and high-humidity environments. Furthermore, we coat the main tank with polyurethane. Moreover, we bond the polyurethane firmly to the tank surface. Consequently, this bonding prevents air contact and reduces the risk of corrosion. In addition, we protect the polyurethane insulation with an additional aluminium cladding layer against potential mechanical damage and moisture effects.

Perlite + Vacuum Insulated Tanks

We manufacture Perlite + Vacuum insulated double-wall LCO2 storage tanks in both vertical and horizontal configurations. Furthermore, high-quality perlite vacuum insulation delivers safe, flexible, and cost-effective operation. Moreover, this insulation system guarantees a low boil-off rate over the long term.

International Manufacturing Standards

The Harsan LCO2 production line fully complies with the most demanding global standards. Furthermore, we manufacture our designs according to the following international standards:

  • Furthermore, we fully apply AD MERKBLATT CODE 2000 pressure vessel standards.
  • Moreover, we ensure full compliance with EN 13458 and EN 13445.
  • In addition, we meet the EN 13530 and ADR 2013 directives.
  • Consequently, we also fully fulfil all ASME Sec VIII Div 1 requirements.

Moreover, we offer design and manufacturing services conforming to various local standards based on customer requests.

LCO2 Liquid Carbon Dioxide Storage Tanks — Frequently Asked Questions

What insulation types does Harsan offer for LCO2 storage tanks?

We offer two main insulation types for liquid carbon dioxide storage tanks. Furthermore, the first is Polyurethane Insulation, designed for high-humidity and high-temperature environments. Moreover, the second is Perlite + Vacuum Insulation, which we manufacture in both vertical and horizontal configurations. Consequently, we deliver the right solution for every project requirement.

We coat the main tank with polyurethane and bond it firmly to the tank surface. Furthermore, this bonding prevents air contact completely. Consequently, we reduce the risk of corrosion significantly. Moreover, we protect the polyurethane insulation with an additional aluminium cladding layer against mechanical damage and moisture effects. Therefore, this layered protection system delivers long-lasting performance even in high-temperature and high-humidity environments.

We manufacture LCO2 storage tanks at design pressures between 17 Bar and 36 Bar. Furthermore, the design temperature range is –40°C / +50°C for polyurethane tanks and –196°C / +50°C for perlite-vacuum tanks. Moreover, volume options range from 1M3 to 200M3. Consequently, our production processes fully comply with the following standards:

  • Furthermore, we fully apply EN 13458EN 13445, and ASME Sec VIII Div 1.
  • Moreover, we apply EN 13530ADR 2013, and AD MERKBLATT CODE 2000.

LCO2 Storage Tanks play a critical role in all industries requiring the storage and transport of liquid carbon dioxide. Furthermore, we deliver solutions to the following sectors:

  • Furthermore, we provide CO2 storage and dosing solutions for food and beverage production.
  • Moreover, we serve medical applications and medical gas infrastructure.
  • Consequently, we also develop tailored solutions for all production processes requiring controlled CO2 supply.
