STATIC TANKS

Horizontal aboveground tanks • Horizontal underground tanks • Vertical aboveground tanks

Static tanks for LPG storage for aboveground or underground installation, according to European Directive 2014/68 / CE and CE marking. Under requirement, according to ASME VIII div. 1 and ASME marking, or adapted to the regulatory requirements and the specific requirements of the place or country of destination. All capacities, up to 400 m3.

HORIZONTAL tanks Ø: 1000, 1200, 1500 y 1750 mm

HORIZONTAL tanks Ø: 2200 y 2450 mm

HORIZONTAL tanks Ø: 3000, 3500, 3800, 4000 y 4200 mm

VERTICAL tanks

Depósitos con VAPORIZADOR interno

Depósitos con VAPORIZADOR atmosférico

Depósitos HORIZONTALES Ø: 1000, 1200, 1500 y 1750 mm

AUTO-GAS SKIDS

Horizontal aboveground SKID • Vertical aboveground SKID • Underground SKID

Autonomous units for storage and service of LPG, with pumping equipment and dispenser or filling column, integrated in the frame together with the LPG tank. With incorporated transfer equipment, it allows the supply of LPG to the vehicle in liquid phase. The whole assembly is factory-assembled ready to operate, just by fixing it to the ground with an earthing connection and providing the electrical power supply panel.

TRANSPORTATION AND SERVICE

Transportable bottles • ISO-containers • Semi-trailers

Transportable bottles, ISO-containers and semi-trailer tankers and on truck, for the transport and service of LPG, manufactured under applicable European standards and Directives (ADR, ISO, CSC,… etc.). Volumetric capacity for transport tanks and transfer equipment, adapted to the specific requirements of the client.

LPG Information

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The acronym LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gases. Within this family are gases such as propane, butane and their mixtures. They owe their name to their origin in the distillation of petroleum.
The only mandatory guideline in the manufacture of LPG static tanks in the EU is the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 2014/68/EU). The choice of the standard or code for its design and manufacture is the responsibility of the manufacturer.
The Lapesa LPG underground tanks will be provided with a cathodic protection system, unless our clients confirm, by means of a study of the aggressiveness of the ground, that it is not necessary. We recommend that both the definition of the protection system and the aggressiveness study be carried out by specialized companies.
By measuring the potential between the tank and the ground, which, measured with respect to the copper-copper sulfate reference electrode, should be equal to or less than -0.85 V, or -0.95 V maximum when there is a risk of corrosion by sulfate-reducing bacteria (higher potentials will be allowed for a limited time in the event of stray currents).
Yes. Compliance with Directive 2014/68/EU is mandatory, so CE marking is mandatory within the European Community.
LPG tanks can be installed in ATEX zone, and in fact create their own ATEX zone. However, as they do not have their own source of ignition (static electricity is not considered a source of ignition for these purposes), they are not required to incorporate ATEX marking.
Difficulty in installation, the problems in level measurement and possible condensation in pipes, make the horizontal installation the most widely used option.
