METHOD FOR REDUCING NATURAL EVAPORATION RATE OF LNG STORAGE TANK

Disclosed is a method for reducing the natural evaporation rate of an LNG storage tank. The method for reducing the natural evaporation rate of an LNG storage tank comprises the steps of: manufacturing an LNG storage tank including a primary insulation layer and a secondary insulation layer; connecting one end of a second vacuum hose to the secondary insulation layer; connecting the other end of the second vacuum hose to a vacuum pump; and actuating the vacuum pump so as to lower the internal pressure of the secondary insulation layer. The method enables the inside of the secondary insulation layer to be a vacuum, and thus lowers the moisture content of plywood included in the secondary insulation layer.

Hydrogen compression and storage systems

A hydrogen compressor includes an inlet valve, an outlet valve, a storage container in fluid communication with the inlet valve and the outlet valve, a heat transfer device, and storage media arranged inside the storage container. The storage media is made from an initial composition that includes a first element and a second element. The second element has at least one substitution element that is identified based on at least one of the ground state volume per atom of the elemental solid, the covalent radius, the Pauling electronegativity, and the number of valence electrons of the substitution element.
