Usually low temperature and atmospheric pressure storage tanks are used in the liquefaction plant and the receiving terminal station. This is because the LNG storage tanks in the receiving terminal station have a large volume (single tank volume greater than 50,000 m³), and other types of storage tanks cannot do so. The liquid is transported by LNG tanker, and the storage tank on the LNG tanker is also in the form of low temperature and normal pressure, and the pressure changes little. Moreover, a BOG condensing device is installed in the receiving terminal station, which can turn BOG into LNG again.

    Due to the liquefaction method in the liquefaction plant, the BOG produced during storage can be turned into regenerated gas for liquefaction. Therefore, low-temperature and atmospheric pressure storage tanks are used, and the amount of BOG evaporation has little effect on it.

    Since the LNG used in this station is transported by tank trucks, the LNG in the tank trucks is under pressure. Unloading into the low-temperature atmospheric tank will produce a large amount of gasification and produce a large amount of BOG gas. Moreover, because BOG is an atmospheric gas, the investment and operating costs of BOG compressors are high. The operating cost of LNG pumps has also increased.
