    This document summarizes Vijay Tanks & Vessels' (VTV) experience executing LNG storage tanks for Petronet LNG in Dahej and Cochin, India. It provides details on the tank configurations, materials used, design and fabrication processes, lessons learned, and importance of coordination between contractors. The tanks were 148,000 KL in size, with prestressed concrete outer layers, lined with LTCS and a 9% nickel inner layer. Coordination between VTV, the civil contractor Afcons, and consultant inputs were essential but also presented challenges during tank construction and commissioning.

    Storage Tank Details
    • Configuration:
     Dahej LNG ST: 148,000 KL
     Outer layer – Prestressed Concrete
     Liner - LTCS
     Inner layer – 9% Ni
     Roof – LTCS
     Suspended deck – Aluminum

    • Design drawings by EPC Contractor

    • Fabrication drawings by VTV

    • Civil works & Foundation by Afcons (Rebars @ 9%Ni)

    • 9%Ni Plates & Foamglass supplied by IHI, other all materials sourced locally by VTV.

    • Other details: Initial trial run by liquified N2. Boil-off gases compressed in BOG Compressors and
    returned to Tank. 5
    Lessons Learned
    • Submerged pump installed inside tank and prior to commissioning N2 purging was to be done to
    maintain required pressure. BOP got delayed and so separate arrangement made for N2 purging.
    There was N2 leakage in the temporary system and pump column got corroded. US based
    vendor had to visit site 3-4 times for overhauling of pump.
    • Change management – Material changes after receipt at site.
    • Air lifting of tank roof is very critical activity, requiring lot of planning.
    • Continuous/seamless coordination required between VTV (Tank fabricator) and Afcons (Civil
    Contractor) during site execution. Many instances VTV had to wait for Afcons to complete and
    vice versa.
