  • COMPRESSED GAS STORAGE TANK, SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20250377074
    Abstract: A storage tank 10 comprises a first chamber 14 configured to store a first gas 18 under pressure. The first chamber 14 is defined by a first wall 20 and is arranged within a surrounding structure 12. The storage tank also comprises a flexible membrane 22 provided between the first wall 20 and the surrounding structure 12. A second chamber 16 is formed between the first wall 20 and the flexible membrane 22. The second chamber 16 has a variable volume. The variable volume of the second chamber 16 compensates for any movement in the surrounding structure 12 and maintains the volume of the first chamber 14 substantially unchanged regardless of the pressure of the first gas 18. The storage tank also comprises at least one transfer pipe 50 which supplies the first gas 18 into the first chamber 14.
