LPG Storage Options - Refrigerated or Pressurized
LPG Storage Options - Refrigerated or Pressurized
(OP)
I am looking for some background information as to advantages and disadvantages (technical and commercial) of refrigerated or pressurized storage (vessels and spheres) of LPG at a terminal. Typical storage quantity is 30,000 m3.
Additionally, I'd also like to understand how choosing either option may impact or limit transportation by road, rail or sea.

very large volumes would be more economically stored in a low pressure tank (cheaper to build) but with refrigeration equipment. very small volumes are more economically stored in a pressure vessel (no refrigeration required).
low temperature storage require heat to warm prior to loading in trucks or rail cars.
at some volume, you reach a price/cost point where you decide which way to go.

the typical application for 30,000 m3 is the atmospheric refrigerated storage.
