LNG storage tank pearlescent sand
Advantages and disadvantages of filling pearlescent sand for heat insulation in LNG cryogenic storage tanks.
Compared with traditional insulation materials, such as rock wool, foam, etc., the insulation method filled with pearlescent sand has the following advantages:
Excellent thermal insulation performance: Pearlescent sand has good thermal insulation properties and can effectively reduce heat loss in the LNG storage tank.
High stability: The insulation layer filled with pearlescent sand has a stable structure and is not easily disturbed by external environmental factors.
Simple construction: The insulation method of filling pearlescent sand is simple to construct and does not require additional construction equipment, saving construction costs.
It should be noted that the heat insulation method of filling pearlescent sand also has certain shortcomings, such as the impact on the internal equipment of the storage tank during the filling process and the reduction of the storage tank volume.
