  • Patent number: 11313515
    Abstract: A process for collection, storage and transport of boil off-gas from a liquefied natural gas storage tank. An ultra-low temperature, composite gas tank is provided to accept the boil-off gas and saturated vapor at ultra-low-temperatures in a range of about ?80° C. to ?45° C. (about ?112° F. to ?229° F.) and at high pressure of about 150 bar (about 2,175.5 psi). Boil off gas collected from liquefied natural gas storage at a pressure in a range of about 15 to 18 bar (217.5 psi to 261 psi) and at a temperature in of about ?150° C. (about ?238° F.). The ultra-low temperature, composite gas tank can hold the gas as it warms to ambient temperature. The process includes a liner step; a filament step; a wrap step; and a filling step. Optional steps include an insulation step; a fiber step; a layering step; a nozzle step; and a gas step.

  • Patent number: 8474647
    Abstract: A metallic liner for a composite reinforced high pressure gas cylinder is composed of a seamless metal tube contoured with a top dome and bottom dome. The liner is further composed of a seamless top metal end cap having a mating shape of the top dome and a seamless bottom metal end cap having a mating shape of the bottom dome. Alternatively, an extruded cup is shaped to a dome at the open end and one or two seamless metal end caps are used. In the method of manufacturing, the top and bottom ends of the metal tube are contoured, the end caps are produced, and one or two end caps are attached to the ends of the tube.
