Lipp® Thermal Storage Tanks

SOLUTION TO EFFECTIVELY STORE EXCESSIVE HEAT FROM BIOGAS PLANTS – FROM 2,000 TO 6,000 M³ The LIPP® Thermal Storage Tank is a customized solution to effectively store excessive heat from biogas plants, biomass heating plants, solar plants or other heat sources. The carbon steel tanks are fabricated on site with the patented automated LIPP® Welding Technology. The horizontal MAW welding process enables the infinitely variable production of tanks up to 6,000 m³ volume with horizontal welding only. The large volume, above ground storage tanks are fitted with all necessary safety and operation equipment. Additional, individual components according to client’s specification can be considered. The roof and wall insulation is individually adapted to local conditions. The LIPP® Thermal Storage Tanks operate at atmospheric pressure, at a temperature of up to 95° C and are suitable for use with heating water. No additional nitrogen system necessary.

CONTAINER AND SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE INTERMEDIATE STORAGE OF HEAT FROM WASTE HEAT OR RENEWABLE ENERGIES The intermediate storage of heat from biogas plants, biomass cogeneration plants or other heat sources is an important prerequisite for effective use. Lipp buffer tank systems are economic system solutions for the storage and supply of thermal energy and can be easily integrated into customised solutions for local heat supply. LIPP BUFFER STORAGE TANKS The individually tailored solution appropriate to heat storage requirements with useful volumes of 80 to 3,000 m³ is made of stainless steel with the Lipp dual seam system and operated in conjunction with insulation adjusted to the application at about 95 ° C. Since the Lipp system is unpressurised, the container solutions are extremely low maintenance and are very durable. The high volume, above ground Lipp storage tanks have been specially developed for this application and are popular with end users and energy suppliers alike.

The automated assembly technology in the LIPP Double Seam System enables the fast construction of stainless steel tanks which has a positive effect on investment costs. Efficient production on site, minimal installation space and a short construction time are key features of this flexible construction technology.

The smooth internal walls of the LIPP digesters (largely without any internal attachments) ensure gentle, uniform mixing while keeping energy consumption low. If an external heating system is fitted, it will guarantee uniform temperature distribution in the digester. These mechanical and thermodynamic benefits with LIPP digesters mean short retention times. The high functional safety, for heating and stirring technology, ensures a low demand for process energy and this is combined with the benefits of minimal maintenance requirements and a long service life.
