LIQUEFIED GAS STORAGE FACILITY HAVING A POLYGONAL LOAD-BEARING STRUCTURE

A liquefied gas storage facility has a sealed and thermally-insulating tank. A bottom wall of the tank includes a plurality of angular sectors which are images of each other through rotation by a predetermined angle about a vertical axis, the predetermined angle being equal to k.360°/N, where k is a...

More Information
Summary:A liquefied gas storage facility has a sealed and thermally-insulating tank. A bottom wall of the tank includes a plurality of angular sectors which are images of each other through rotation by a predetermined angle about a vertical axis, the predetermined angle being equal to k.360°/N, where k is a positive integer. A vertical wall of the tank has a vertical row of planar insulating wall modules disposed on each vertical load-bearing section of a load-bearing structure of the tank. An azimuthal angular deviation with respect to said vertical axis between two rows of planar insulating wall modules disposed on two adjacent vertical load-bearing sections is equal to 360°/N, preferably with an accuracy better than 5 mm.
