LNG storage tank multipoint temperature profiling
Leak detection and cool-down monitoring
Liquefied natural gas storage tanks are a critical part of the LNG storage and transfer value chain. The complex, highly engineered tank systems use auto-refrigeration to keep pressure and temperature constant, and the natural gas in its liquid state. LNG storage temperatures in full containment tanks typically range from -165 °C to -160 °C (-265 °F to -260 °F), also known as cryogenic conditions.
Leak detection
Storing highly compressed hazardous media such as LNG requires reliable safety systems. Monitoring temperature profiles using multipoint RTD sensors in strategically positioned areas of the tanks helps locate and mitigate these risks.
Cool-down temperature monitoring
Pre-cooling lines and tanks to cryogenic levels before loading helps to prevent vapor generation and thermal stress on the infrastructure. To ensure optimum process conditions, operators require reliable temperature data from the tank bottom, membrane walls and roof.
