Eight large cryogenic storage tanks manufactured at Chart Industries’ New Prague, Minnesota, plant have hit the road.
Five of the tanks are 166ft long and will each store 127,000 gallons of liquid oxygen (LOX) and the other three are slightly shorter at 158ft but will each contain 168,000 gallons of liquefied natural gas (LNG).
