vertical or horizontal arrangement and they can be used for LIN,
LOX, LAR, LNG, CO2 and
N2O.
Lifting lugs with stainless steel inlay, integral shipping supports
and high quality vacuum-perlite system insulation with molecular
sieve adsorber have proven high performance and extended hold time
for lower life cycle cost for the vacuum-insulated double wall
tanks.
Optionally, the vertical cryogenic stationary tanks can be
manufactured with thermosyphon which are good for cylinder filling
applications. Karbonsan designs and manufactures the thermosyphon
tanks considering the user needs and difficulties encountered on
site. Thus, the tanks provide a reliable and efficient cylinder
filling ability and decline at the losses and pump maintenance
costs.
Thanks to strong relations with the gas industry, Karbonsan uses
its expertise to manufacture user-friendly and long-lasting tanks
for the gas industry and has improved many features of the

Cryogenic
Semi-Trailers
We manufacture a complete range of optimized semi-trailers for LIN,
LOX, LAR with emphasis on tare weights and performance with many
innovative weight savings incorporated without affecting the
performance or durability of the vehicle.
Considering their densities, cryogenic semi-trailers are designed
for the maximized transport of liquefied cryogenic gases; LIN, LOX,
LAR, LCO2 and
LNG.
As the payload of semi-trailers has a substantial impact on
profitability, Karbonsan tries to do its best to provide its
customers the highest possible capacity without compromising safety
and durability.
Karbonsan designs semi-trailers with excellent rollover stability
and handling with lower centre of gravity, lighter tare, shorter
length and wide wheel base. Super multi-layer insulation and
designing the tanker considering the gas which the customer intends
to use are also critical issues to reach the optimum design, this
way the product in the semi-trailer can be stored for extended
periods without venting through the boil-off. The investment pays
itself sooner than you can imagine.
The filling can be done by either pressure transfer or use of a
centrifugal pump. Cabinets and pumping arrangements can be designed
to suit the customers specifications and requirements. Ergonomic
and durable design provides Karbonsans customers a care-free
operation for years. The simple pipe work layout of the
semi-trailers minimizes the potential risk for leaks. Our strength
is our flexibility to offer specific solutions by working closely
with our customers to understand their
requirements.

LNG
Systems
The very
concept of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a response to the
inefficiency of natural gas pipelines and the technical and the
economical problems of running pipelines over long
distances.
If natural
gas is cooled at minus **0.5° C, it becomes liquid and more
compact, occupying just 1/**0th of its gaseous volume. This is
because most of the heavier hydrocarbons are removed during
liquefaction.
The LNG is
predominantly methane (over *0%) — a colourless, odourless,
transparent liquid which is non-toxic, non-corrosive and less dense
than water. As LNG is highly volatile, specialist operators are
involved in its transportation.
Karbonsan is
at the service of its customers with various plants and our
experienced engineers. Karbonsan has wide range of products
including transportation, storage, vaporisation, compression and
turn key CNG, LNG Fuelling, LCNG and LNG satellite and transfer
plants.
Natural Gas
is not only efficient, clean, eco-friendly and flexible in control,
but also it meets many of the fuel requirements of the modern
industrial society. LNG's main applications
are:
Electricity
generation: Fuel for base load and combined cycle/co-generation
power plants.
Public and
commercial: This clean fuel, which is cheaper than LPG, can be used
as piped gas for households.
Industrial:
Under boiler fuel for steam raising and heating
applications.
Motor fuel
alternative to diesel: The use of natural gas as fuel for the
automobiles is increasing rapidly as it is *0 to *0% more efficient
and much cleaner than traditional fossil fuels. With only one
carbon and four hydrogen atoms per molecule, it is the most
eco-friendly option and is gaining increasing relevance in the age
of Global Warming and Climate Change.
Petrochemicals: Several
vital chemical products, e.g. methanol, can be derived from natural
gas.
The very
concept of LNG is a response to the inefficiency of natural gas
pipelines. Karbonsan is with you in the engineering and manufacture
of a diversified line of LNG value chain.
The LNG
Value Chain
Transport:
LNG can be
transported by ships, ISO tank containers, semi-trailers and road
tankers to the locations where there is no pipe line. LNG ISO tank
containers, semi-trailers and road tankers are mostly preferred to
be suitable for cryogenic service. Karbonsan builds ISO tank
containers in compliance with ADR, RID, IMO, DOT and other specific
norms and also efficient, lightweight cryogenic vacuum insulated
LNG semi-trailers and rigid tankers for the road transport of
LNG.
Satellite
Plants:
Karbonsan
offers various types of LNG satellite plants, enabling natural gas
to be used at off pipeline locations. The terminals are designed to
fit customers requirements in terms of storage capacity and flow
demand.
Re-Fuelling
Stations
LNG and LCNG
stationary and mobile fuelling stations serve heavy-duty trucks,
buses, refuse vehicles and frequently operated fleet vehicles.
Karbonsan cooperates with other reliable suppliers for the
equipments which are not at its product range to provide a complete
turn-key service for LNG and LCNG stationary and mobile fuelling
stations projects.
Storage
Tanks
Karbonsan
provides horizontal or vertical LNG storage tanks with capacity
ranging between 2.**0 and **0.**0 litres gross volume. These
stationary tanks are high vacuum and perlite
insulated.
Vaporizers
The ambient
vaporizers utilize direct heat and mass transfer from the heat
available in the atmosphere. Karbonsan manufactures aluminium
star-fin ambient vaporizers, the most efficient technology within
the industry to guarantee the pressure, flow and temperature of the
outgoing gas as per the customers specification. The ambient
vaporizers do not have any moving parts which provide maximized
reliability and zero maintenance.
Interconnecting
Pipe
These pipes
can be both classical PUR foam insulated or vacuum jacketed (super
insulation + vacuum). Depending on application, vacuum jacketed
pipe should be preferred when LNG is used as the engine fuel.
Karbonsan provides both types of pipes along with the required
engineering support.
