PRODUCTION PROGRAMME
 TANKS FOR THE STORAGE OF L.P.G.
TANKS TO CONTAIN PROPANE (L.P.G.)

TANKS Manufactured according to LPG regulations for static tanks and in compliance with European Directive 97/23/CE.
All of the models have the EC mark.
Permanent stocks of basic models in 1,200 mm, 1,500 mm, and 1,750 mm diameters.

OPTIONS Models: The catalogue shows the range of models from 2 m3 to 300 m3.
Special models: There is also a range of special size tanks (see page 7)
Consult us for any special model or version of those that appear in this catalogue.
Centred outlets: All of the models can be made with the option of centred outlets for situations in which
there are problems of distances in installations.
Gazing: The tank can be supplied with the valve unit already mounted (and tightness checked) and with the
interior air replaced by inert gas.

FINITION Standard finish: The standard finish of the outer surface offers a high resistance to corrosion. The whole of
the exterior of the tank undergoes blast treatment. A coat of primer is then applied followed by a top coat
in white or black depending on whether the tank is to be installed above or underground. The outer coat
is in polyurethane. In the case of tanks with a capacity of more than 60 m3 or a diameter greater than
2,450 mm, the standard finish is a primer coat only.
Special finitions: Other types of external surface finition can be carried out, e.g. a thick coat of polyurethane
(up to 3 mm.) Specific product for underground tanks, with a dielectric resistance of more than 15,000 volts.

PROTECTION Cathodic protection: A cathodic protection unit can be supplied for underground tanks to obtain the protection
specified in the LPG installation regulations. The cathodic protection unit comprises the sacrificial anodes
and connection cables with terminals.

VALVES Supply: Tanks of capacities up to 20 m3 include the valve unit equipment , (the most commonly known brands).
Valve unit equipment for tanks with capacities of over 20 m3 is supplied under order.
Valves mounted: The valve unit is normally supplied separately, dismounted.
At the customers express request, the tank can be supplied with the valves ready-mounted. This process
includes the tightness test and interior gazing.

TABLES Natural vaporization: Tables to quickly determine the tanks natural vaporization capacity. It includes all of
the standard models, up to a capacity of 60 m3.
Maximum filling up: There is also a useful data table with the heights of the liquefied gas at 85% capacity.

TOLERANCES The following tolerances, above or below, have been applied to the tank measurements and data indicated
in this catalogue:
In total length: 1% Distance between support axes: 10 mm. Distance between holes in same support: 5 mm
Rest of measurements, according to CODAP F1.5

STATIC TANKS FOR L.P.G
1,200 mm, 1,500 mm and 1,750 mm DIAMETER

All of the models in diameters of 1,200 mm, 1,500 mm and 1,750 mm can be installed above or underground.
The only difference is the colour of the finition and if they have an inspection chamber or cover, depending on whether they are above or underground tanks.

 STATIC TANKS FOR L.P.G.
LARGER THAN 20 m3

These models have a different design, depending on whether they are for aboveground or underground installation.
The aboveground models have support strips and can be placed directly on a concrete cradle.
The underground models have two inspection chambers; one for the valve unit and another for the safety valve manifold and the inspection aperture. Both inspection
chambers are supplied dismounted.

STATIC TANKS FOR L.P.G.
SPECIAL TANKS LESS THAN 20 m3 2,200 mm and 2,450 mm diameters

A group of officially approved tanks that do not form part of the normal production programme but that can resolve special needs in terms of size or capacity are
listed as a guide for customers.
The models with a capacity of less than 20 m3 can be installed above or underground as the only difference is the colour of their finish and if they have an inspection
chamber or cover. Models with a capacity greater than 20 m3 have a different design depending on whether they are for installation above or underground.

 STATIC TANKS FOR L.P.G.
DOUBLE-WALL, POLYETHYLENE TANKS FOR STORAGE OF L.P.G. UNDERGROUND

The outer casing is made of tight polyethylene, which guarantees the total insulation of the interior steel tank. A non-metallic outer surface means that there is no possibility
of external corrosion.
Between the tank and the double wall a totally tight interstitial zone is formed, in which a vacummeter is created and controlled with a vacuummeter. This condition allows
us to be absolutely sure of the perfect state of the whole surface of the two walls of the tank
The outer wall in high density polyethylene (PEAD) is extraordinarily stable, dielectric and semi-rigid, allowing the equipment to absorb vibrations in the same way as the
inner tank made of steel with a high elastic limit, is able to withstand the characteristic loads exerted by the terrain.
Due to the aforementioned characteristics the tank does not require cathodic protection.
Equipment with EC mark, in accordance with the European Pressure Equipment Directive, 97/23/CE.

With a submersible pump

Main characteristics:
The submersible pump is fitted inside the tank.
The pump can be removed from the manifold in which it is housed to carry out any work or maintenance on it, without having to empty the gas from the tank.
The submersible pump always operates in a loaded state. There is no risk of de-priming.

In the case of underground tanks, the submersible pump reduces installation costs considerably. If conventional external pumps are used, extensive civil works are necessary
(by local regulation) to allow for a pump room below the lower generatrix line of the tank so that the pump is always loaded with liquid LPG.

TABLES OF NATURAL VAPORISATION IN L.P.G TANKS

The natural vaporisation of a propane tank can be obtained by the expression: D = aSK (Te-Ti)/q
where D is the capacity of vaporization of propane in kg/h. (See end of table for data used in the formula)
The following tables show the vaporization flow for LAPESA models at different working pressures.

The values used to prepare these tables are as follows: Te= Minimum temperature of environment in which the tank is installed
a= Percentage of the surface area of the tank which is in contact with the (5 for underground tanks)
liquid. This depends on the tank filling percentage. Ti= Propane liquid-gas equilibrium temperature. This depends on the type
of mix. Several values have been taken:
Filling percentage 20% 30%
a: 0,336 0,397 Mains pressure: 1,25 1,5 1,75 2
Interior temperature: -26 -22 -20 -17
S= Surface area of tank in m2.
K= Coefficient of heat exchange with exterior. It depends on several factors. q= Latent heat of propane vaporization. A value of q=94 kcal./kg can
K= 12 kcal/Hm2C (In underground tanks this value is reduced by 30%) be used.
