China Shipbuilding 711 Has Successfully Localized The Top Relief Valve Of LNG Storage Tanks, Assisting In The Production Of Longkou LNG Receiving Station

Recently, the localization project of LNG tank top relief valves for China Shipbuilding 711 has successfully completed commissioning and delivery at Sinopec Longkou LNG receiving station.

The tank top relief valve is the core safety device of LNG storage tanks. This product has long relied on imports, with high operating costs and long supply cycles for imported products, which to some extent restricts the development of LNG receiving stations. The tank top relief valve of 711 Research Institute can effectively ensure the stability of the Pressure of the LNG tank and prevent the tank from being damaged due to overpressure. Its successful delivery and application will not only effectively assist in the production and operation of Sinopec Longkou LNG receiving station, but also promote the comprehensive localization of large-scale liquefied natural gas storage and transportation technology.

The Sinopec Longkou LNG project includes four 220000 cubic meter LNG storage tanks. After the completion of the project, the natural gas supply capacity can reach 7 billion cubic meters per year, which is of great significance for enhancing the natural gas supply capacity of Shandong Province and even the entire Bohai Rim region.
