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 cryogenic liquid storage system is provided that includes a primary container, an insulation portion, a secondary container, and a pressure release feature. The primary container includes a metal sidewall and a metal dome. Alternatively, the primary container may be constructed out of composite material. The primary container may be configured to retain liquid hydrogen. The insulation portion covers the primary container. The secondary container includes a composite material that covers each of the primary container and the insulation portion. The pressure release feature is disposed through each of the primary container dome, the insulation portion, and the secondary container dome.

Abstract: A liquified air storage system can include a container assembly. The container assembly can be disposed on a base. The container assembly can have an interior portion and an exterior portion. The interior portion can include a reinforced concrete layer and a steel liner. The exterior portion can be disposed adjacent to the interior portion, the exterior portion including prestressed wire. A method of assembling a liquified air storage system can include assembling an interior portion of a container assembly. The interior portion can have a reinforced concrete layer and a steel liner. Next, an exterior portion of the container assembly can be assembled on the interior portion. The exterior portion can include a composite material and prestressed wires. The exterior portion can be covered with an insulation layer.

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.
