POSCO contributes to the development of the energy sector by delivering
the high-performance steel products and solutions required in every corner of the industry.
Located onshore, these tanks are designed to store liquified gas transported by LNG carriers.
Inner Tanks
An inner tank is a space within an LNG storage tank that contains LNG of -163¡ÆC. It is another common area where POSCO¡¯s high manganese steel and 9% nickel steel are applied. 9% nickel steel has superb low-temperature toughness that can withstand external impact at a temperature of as low as -163¡ÆC. The content of nickel depends on the type of liquified gas stored.
High manganese steel is a new type of steel made by adding 24 percent of manganese to steel. It does not break at an extremely low temperature (as low as -196¡ÆC). It is also much cheaper than existing steel, helping reduce material and welding cost.
In a storage tank, the outer tank supports the inner tank, and POSCO offers steel that is ideal for this application. This steel does not require heat treatment, a common method applicable to oil and gas tanks. Compared to existing steel made through heat treatment, it allows for the application of more efficient welding, which can save cost.
Steel pipe piles are used to fix tanks on the ground, and this is another application for POSCO¡¯s seawater resistant steel. This steel is much less apt to rust than regular carbon steel when it comes in contact with water. Its slow corrosion means it has a longer life span and higher cost-effectiveness.
