Large volumes of gas are supplied by bulk deliveries, either as a cryogenic liquid or as a high-pressure gas into storage on customer sites.
For customers with high-volume requirements and operations suited to piped supplies of gas, a bulk cryogenic storage vessel installed onsite offers the most efficient and convenient solution.
Bulk deliveries of oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen* and carbon dioxide are supplied as liquid because they require much less storage capacity than gas.
The liquid is delivered by our dedicated fleet of cryogenic tankers into vacuum insulated bulk storage vessels that we usually own and maintain on customer premises. The stored liquid is controlled at the required pressure by means of an automated regulation system.
If the customer process requires gas, the liquid is vaporized and delivered as a gas along the supply pipe. If the process requires liquid, it is delivered directly from the storage vessel through a cryogenic vacuum insulated pipeline.
The size and type of storage vessel and vaporization is selected to suit customers’ individual requirements.
