Microbulk Tanks: A Comprehensive Overview

 

Microbulk Tanks: The Efficient Solution for Cryogenic Liquid Storage

This passage describes microbulk tanks, a storage solution for cryogenic liquids like liquid oxygen (LOX), liquid nitrogen (LN2), and liquid argon (LAR). Here's a breakdown of the key points:

What are Microbulk Tanks?

  • Microbulk tanks are essentially small-scale bulk storage systems for cryogenic liquids.
  • They offer a middle ground between traditional high-pressure gas cylinders and large bulk storage tanks.
  • Capacities typically range from 230 to 6,000 litres (61 to 1,585 gallons).

Benefits of Microbulk Tanks:

  • Increased Efficiency:
    • Reduces downtime associated with frequent cylinder changes.
    • Eliminates residual gas loss in cylinders.
    • Offers uninterrupted gas supply.
    • Simplifies inventory management.
    • Minimizes maintenance requirements.
  • Cost-Effectiveness:
    • Reduces gas delivery and handling costs.
    • Streamlines ordering procedures.
    • Promotes efficient gas utilization.
  • Safety Advantages:
    • Utilizes lower-pressure tanks compared to high-pressure cylinders.
    • Eliminates risks associated with cylinder handling.
    • Includes safety features like pressure relief valves and monitoring systems.
  • Flexibility:
    • Available in various sizes (230 – 1,500 litres) to suit diverse needs.
    • Can be installed indoors or outdoors (depending on pressure rating).
    • Scalable to accommodate growing businesses.
  • Convenience:
    • Enables remote monitoring of pressure and capacity.
    • Eliminates the need for constant cylinder handling and replacement.

Applications:

  • Cryogenic laboratories
  • Hospitals
  • Food processing and freezing
  • High-pressure laser cutting
  • Welding
  • Specimen storage
  • General laboratory use

Additional Information:

  • The passage provides a sample technical specification for a 3M3 microbulk tank (model: CDLS-3/3.4) made of stainless steel (S30408).
  • It highlights DSW as a supplier offering custom-tailored microbulk gas systems.

Overall, microbulk tanks can be a valuable investment for businesses and institutions that require a reliable and efficient supply of cryogenic liquids.
