Low-temperature liquids (such as liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen, liquid hydrogen and liquefied natural gas) are widely used in industries, healthcare, energy and remote areas. The storage location of these liquids directly affects safety and efficiency.
In industrial facilities, storage tanks are typically located near the production area to ensure stable supply and are equipped with protective isolation and leakage monitoring systems. Chemical and petrochemical plants tend to place large LNG storage tanks beside the loading and unloading area and integrate vaporization equipment to increase utilization.
Medical facilities rely on cryogenic liquids to preserve biological samples and support treatments. Storage tanks are usually located in dedicated areas with good ventilation and strict temperature control. Some are placed outdoors and equipped with weather-proofing capabilities. Research institutions and biological sample banks use automated tank arrays or underground storage, combined with real-time monitoring and backup power supplies to ensure the safety of the samples.
In the energy sector, LNG storage tanks are mainly located at coastal terminals, used for receiving, storage and re-gasification, and are gradually expanding to inland hubs. Hydrogen fuel stations use small, highly safe liquid hydrogen tanks, serving clean transportation; in the aviation field, the integrated and external mounting schemes of onboard liquid hydrogen tanks are being explored to balance space and aerodynamic performance.
Remote mining areas and exploration sites use portable storage tanks, which are suitable for harsh environments; in rural areas and disaster-stricken regions, mobile tanks are used to supply medical oxygen or energy, enabling rapid deployment.
Overall, the location selection of cryogenic storage tanks needs to take into account safety, accessibility and operational requirements. As technology progresses, the layout strategies will be continuously optimized.
