Cryogenic news

Frost heave can lift and crack the base of a flat bottom cryogenic tank. Cold from the inner vessel travels down through the base and freezes the soil below. Frozen soil grows, and growing...

A cryogenic equipment datasheet can look complete while still missing information that fundamentally affects equipment design, performance, and price. Whether specifying a cryogenic tank,...

Flat bottom cryogenic tanks hold their low temperatures for decades. The perlite annulus, the insulated gap between the inner vessel and the outer shell, makes that possible. A...

A flat bottom cryogenic tank is one of the largest buys in a gas plant. The spec drives its cost, its safety, and its schedule. A weak spec invites change orders and long query chains....

Large cryogenic plants store most of their product in flat bottom cryogenic storage tanks. Two design codes rule these tanks: API 620 and EN 14620. Both lead to safe tanks, but they grew...

Liquid hydrogen (LH₂) represents one of the most demanding applications in cryogenic engineering. With a boiling point close to -253°C, it operates only a few degrees above absolute zero....

Cryogenic distillation forms the heart of every Air Separation Unit (ASU). It separates air into high-purity oxygen, nitrogen, and argon by taking advantage of their different boiling...

Plate-fin heat exchangers (PFHEs) are at the heart of most cryogenic processes, including LNG plants, air separation units (ASUs), and hydrogen liquefaction systems. Their compact design,...

Cryogenic compressors play a central role in LNG plants, air separation units, hydrogen systems, and industrial refrigeration. They do much more than increase gas pressure. The right...
