本开创性指南汇集了用于散装储存冷冻气体液体的双壁混凝土储罐（带或不带金属内衬）工程的良好实践和最佳实践。它独特之处在于，它汇集了用于指定由双（预应力）混凝土罐制成的冷藏和低温储罐的设计、材料选择、制造、安装、测试、调试和操作要求的指南，作为由7%或9%镍钢内罐建造的储罐的替代方案。遵循指南应减少设计、施工和调试过程中出现错误和不良实践的风险。该出版物还应解决双混凝土储罐项目期间遇到的许多技术问题，从而减少“技术辩论”的需要，并改善项目时间表、成本和质量。同样，应向工程承包商提供详细信息，以最大限度地降低从储罐施工人员处获得不同报价的风险； 它为坦克设计师提供了清晰的计算基础，从而使他们受益；并将材料、施工方法和储罐结构所需的测试和检查质量告知储罐施工公司。

This pioneering guide draws together good and best practices for the engineering of double-walled concrete tanks (with or without metal liner) intended for the bulk storage of refrigerated gas liquids. It is unique in bringing together guidance for specifying the design, materials selection, fabrication, installation, testing commissioning and operational requirements of refrigerated and cryogenic storage tanks made from double (pre-stressed) concrete tanks as an alternative for tanks constructed with 7% or 9% Ni steel inner tanks. Following the guide should reduce the risk of mistakes and poor practice during design, construction and commissioning. The publication should also resolve many of the technical issues encountered during double concrete tank projects, thus reducing the need for 'technical debate' and improving project timescales, costs and quality. Similarly, it should provide the engineering contractor with detailed information that will minimise the risk of obtaining varying quotations from tank constructors; it benefits the tank designer by giving them a clear basis for their calculations; and it informs tank construction companies of the quality of testing and examination required for materials, construction methods and tank structure.
