What are those tanks filled with (or gonna be filled with) ?

[★ candygirl]

I dont think its water..Too many tanks in one spot. OIL?

[★ candygirl]

oh "you did say hydro sooo it may be diesel?

[Trained]

They're gonna be filled with Liquid Natural Gas. The Hydro is water, we fill them with water first incase there are and major leaks in the inner tank s!@#$%^&* wall. Theres actually a tank inside the tanks you see in the picture. The first is just a carbon steel s!@#$%^&*, on the inside, theres a tank made of 9% nickel, after the water is put in, and the carbon steel doorsheets are in, and all the insulation is hung in between the walls, we close the outer tank s!@#$%^&* manway and fill it with perlite.

isnt that jet fuel?

I thought it was the liquadised version of the gas that you'd use for say your cooker??

[🜲 Samapico]

Yeah, that would be it I think. But I thought that stuff would need to stay really cold to be liquid...

Jet fuel is kerosene

had to search for LPG.. it's liquefied petroleum gas

!@#$%^&*, that drawing reminds me of high school science.

[rootbear75]

that drawing also puts Jet Fuel along with Motor Gas... which is car fuel

[Trained]

The gas in the LNG tanks were working on are kept 220 degrees below zero. The cool down date on the first tank is on the 15th of Feb, and then once the tank reaches design temp, than we will starting pumping in LNG.

it doesnt.

 

where it says "motor gas

jet fuel

..."

 

its stating that multiple products come off that line. the octane and kerosine will be seperated by some additional processing.

Were starting to put LNG in the first tank tommorow. The 3rd tank had water going in it at 4:10am this morning, I got there at 5. It was a long weekend.
