Abstract

1,048,380. Storing liquefied gas. CONCH INTERNATIONAL METHANE Ltd. Dec. 15, 1964, No. 60979/64.. Addition to 986,785. Heading. F4P. In a liquefied gas storage reservoir, a continuous fluid-impervious aluminium or stainless steel membrane 5 having vertical corrugations extending from the bottom and horizontal corrugations above them, extends into a gutter 6 containing a material 7 which is liquid at ambient temperature but solid when the membrane 5 is in contact with the liquefied gas 1 and the membrane has a flexible cover 30 connected to the wall 3 with means for filling the space enclosed by the wall, membrane, cover and solidifiable material with an inert gas. A series of pipes with valves 31 are welded to the cover 30 to allow purging and filling the space with nitrogen which eliminates the possibility of moisture outside the membrane freezing and thereby causing heat leaks. The insulation between the wall and the membrane is also improved by the insertion of a material such as rock wool 32 in the space up to the liquid level of the reservoir.
