Mounded Storage Vessels

The mounded system of LPG storage provides numerous advantages in terms of safety and environment factors. In view of the tremendous growth in domestic LPG consumption, the creation of storage terminals across the country to enable safe handling, storage and distribution of LPG is an issue of primary importance. VTV's integrated engineering skills on mounded storage systems offer tremendous value to clients in terms of an optimization in the total facility as a whole. VTV's long years of pressure vessel fabrication and rigorous quality procedures help ensure the efficient and trouble free service of all VTV mounded installations.

VTV's credentials on mounded LPG storage have been established on India's largest terminal handled on an LSTK basis for the Gas Authority of India. At their Pata Petrochemical complex. This project involved 9 nos. 6 m dia. X 99 m lg. LPG/Propane bullets on two mounds alongwith complete pumping, civil, piping, electrical, instrumentation and cathode protection facilities to operate the plant.

VTV's Baroda Pressure Vessel plant has also handled the shop manufacture of 3 nos. 1800 cu.m. Bullets for IOC's Gujarat Refinery. These vessels were manufactured on the shop floor with the deployment of ram boom welding machines to facilitate an 80% automatic welding coverage. The vessels were fabricated in 3 segments, shop stress relieved and subsequently transported using custom built A-Frames mounted on the sandbed.
