ExxonMobil has licensed a patented LNG storage tank technology to UK-based Skanska Whessoe. Claimed to offer ‘the potential for significant cost savings and faster construction times for LNG import and export terminals’, the technology employs modern shipyard fabrication practices and a scalable, modular design to provide a full-containment LNG storage system. To provide a high degree of safety, the inner nickel/steel and the outer reinforced, prestressed concrete tanks of the modular storage system are liquid and gas tight, and independently capable of containing the stored LNG. The tanks have been designed and rigorously evaluated for a wide range of conditions including earthquake prone areas of the Pacific-rim, North America, and Europe, states the company.
