Industrial Gas Storage System

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR GAS STORAGE With the Lipp gas holder Lipp offers a tried and tested system solution which is complete in itself, for unpressurised storage of biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas. This solution is chiefly used for municipal waste water treatment plants and landfills. Due to its design, as well as high functional and operational safety, it also ensures low maintenance costs over a very long service life. This is mainly because the sensitive gas holder is protected against UV radiation and other environmental influences by a steel container manufactured with the Lipp dual seam system. Furthermore, this construction method allows an exact leak test and highly accurate metrological monitoring of the gas fill level. Both aspects are essential for safe and efficient plant operation. With certification according to § 19 WHG for Lipp GmbH and DVGW approval of the gas storage tank, further conditions are met for use in municipal waste water treatment plants.

Depending on the industrial sector, more or less complex processes take place with more or less difficult media. These media are needed either for the production process itself or for supporting processes and can have very special properties. Thanks to the VERINOX used, Lipp can tailor the tank material exactly to medium and process and thus offer the best technical and economic solution. Parts and accessories can also be individually selected and installed according to the project. This means that Lipp system solutions can be considered both for simple solutions such as part of a fire protection system, but also for complex requirements, such as in the pharmaceutical and beverage industry. So much flexibility in terms of the possibilities for use is a powerful argument for cooperation with Lipp. Engineering offices gain a partner who covers a wide range of applications and provides the same high quality worldwide.

Gas storage systems by Lipp have been successfully installed in more than 300 projects in Germany and worldwide. The gas storage capacity extends from 30 to 5,000 m³. The gas resistant PVC gas holder is protected by a galvanised steel cylinder. The self supporting roof is made of 1.4301 high grade stainless steel. The Lipp gas holder is offered as a complete system, including sensors and built in parts as well as steel construction, and can be easily integrated into an existing system. The main area of application of the Lipp gas holder is municipal waste water treatment plants and landfills which want to balance out fluctuations in gas production and at the same time need a buffer store for possible downtimes. A further gas holder may also be of interest for direct marketing of biogas, where feed in at certain times is necessary. The Lipp gas holder is especially attractive when considering the fact that electricity cannot be stored. But (bio) gas, which is used for power generation

COST EFFECTIVE SYSTEM FOR THE NON PRESSURISED STORAGE OF BIOGAS, LANDFILL GAS AND SEWAGE GAS In biological processes, gas production is not continuous. That is why the utilisation of gas (e.g. in a combined heat and power plant) requires an accumulator in order to compensate for fluctuations during gas production and to bridge downtimes for plant repairs and maintenance. Besides high functional and operating safety, other important criteria for the construction and operation of gas tanks include the economic aspects of investment and maintenance costs.
