Are you about to develop a Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) plant? Choosing the right tank can make the difference between a faster installation, a more efficient start-up, and reliable operations from day one. That is why more and more companies are opting for skid-mounted tanks, a solution that integrates the storage tank and its main systems into a single module, simplifying installation without compromising safety.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are 3 questions that can help you choose the right tank:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2714 How important is it to reduce installation times? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2714 Do you want to minimize field integration and assembly work? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2714 Are you looking for a solution that is ready to operate from day one?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you answered \u00abyes\u00bb to two or more questions, a skid-mounted tank is likely the best alternative for your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abHere’s what you need to know\u00bb:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Shorter installation time:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Time is one of the most valuable resources in any project. Reducing installation days means getting your plant operational faster and capitalizing on your investment sooner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed to facilitate installation and prompt operation.<\/td>No special foundation required.<\/td>They can be relocated as needed based on your plant\u2019s operational requirements.<\/td>They allow for start-up within a matter of hours after delivery.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Compliance with Mexican Regulations:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Its modular design allows for faster installation and, when a project needs change, it makes relocating the equipment or expanding the plant easier with minimal impact on operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

REGULATIONS<\/strong><\/td>OPTIONS FOR MEXICO<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Official Mexican Standard NOM-018-ASEA-2023, Liquefied Petroleum Gas Distribution Plants.<\/strong><\/td>– Semi-trailer unloading module with compressor.
– Module with pedestal-type dispenser.
– Module with service station-type dispenser.
– Tank truck loading module with pump and meter.
– Module with pumps for LPG fuel systems.<\/td><\/tr>
Official Mexican Standard NOM-003-SEDG-2004, L.P. Gas stations for carburetion. Design and construction.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Storage vessel in compliance with NOM-009-SESH-2011 requirements.<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Why is paint\/coating important?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Not every LPG plant operates under the same conditions. Constant exposure to humidity, salt air, industrial environments, or solar radiation can accelerate wear without adequate protection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

TATSA skid-mounted tanks feature a high-performance coating system designed to protect the equipment for years, even in the most demanding environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Capacities:<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We offer different capacities that can adapt to the storage requirements of your LPG plant:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
