Abstract: A precast, prestressed concrete tank and method that facilitates construction of a primary inner tank within a secondary outer tank, and which permits for the construction of the primary inner tank after the secondary outer tank has been erected, but without requiring insertion through a top of the secondary outer tank, or by tunneling underneath the secondary outer tank, is disclosed. The primary inner tank has an inner wall and the secondary outer tank has an outer wall (precast, prestressed concrete) and wire windings. The primary inner tank is disposed inside of the secondary outer tank. The secondary outer tank has a plurality of first precast outer wall panels, and a temporary construction opening frame. The temporary construction opening frame defines an access doorway during construction of the tank. The temporary construction opening frame is disposed on a foundation base slab.

Abstract: A storage system is provided that includes a primary container, a first insulation layer, a secondary container, a secondary bottom, and a second insulation layer. The primary container has a primary bottom. The first insulation layer is disposed below the primary bottom. The secondary bottom is disposed below the first insulation layer and the secondary container. The secondary bottom has an expansion joint configured to permit the secondary bottom to expand and/or contract independently from the secondary container. The second insulation layer is disposed below the secondary bottom. In the event of LNG leaking from the primary container, the second insulation layer is protected from LNG contact by the secondary bottom. The carbon steel liner located on the outside face of the concrete wall remains vapor tight and liquid tight in the event of any amount of LNG leaking from the primary container.

Abstract: A gaseous hydrogen storage system may include a primary container including a metal sidewall and a metal dome. The primary container may be configured to retain gaseous hydrogen. A portion of the primary container, such as the metal sidewall may be covered with a composite material layer. The metal sidewall and the metal dome may be constructed from carbon steel, stainless steel, a nickel-based steel, and combinations thereof.
