Gases like argon, nitrogen, hydrogen, helium, oxygen are converted into
cryogenic fluids for easy transportation, handling and storage for industrial
usage
Liquid gas possesses several hazards if precautions are not taken to provide a
safe & reliable storage space for them.

3. Introduction

The Cryogenic Tank holds these hazardous gases that condense the moisture
in the air.
Due to transformation from their natural form, they carry threats to industrial
equipment, workers in the surrounding and the neighbouring environment.
There are numerous pitfalls of cryogenic liquids. Some industries that use
cryogenic storage tanks to contain them address several hazards of these
liquified gases

4. Several hazards of liquified gases
www.inoxindia.com
The air inside the cryogenic container condenses while transferring liquid nitrogen.
Its boiling point is lower than oxygen allowing it to leave more oxygen in the tank
which increases the risk of potential explosion.
Liquid oxygen tanks of the highest grade are employed to escape embrittlement,
rusting, breakage and inflammation of combustible material.
Exposure to extremely reactive liquids can result in skin burns and damage the
delicate tissues inside the eyes.

5. Safety Measures for Liquid Oxygen

Utilize a wireless tank monitoring system that can effectively record the
fluctuations in pressure and reduce the dependence on heavy manpower
throughout the day.
An automatic cryogenic liquid gas detection system should be installed that can
check any leakage instantly inside the storage tank.
Setup a sensor that can notify about the dropdown in temperature of the tank and
sets off an alarm when it reaches below the level of minimum hazard.

6. Safety Measures for Liquid Oxygen

Tracking of cryogenics usage should be done to refill the tanks in a timely manner.
The delivery timing and availability of cryogenics is crucial in monitoring the liquid
gases inside the tank.
The pressure needs to be controlled in these containers to avoid the tanks from
exploding and damaging the industrial & environmental setting.

7. Safety Measures for Liquid Argon & Helium

Argon & helium have intrinsic properties totally different from other gases and
must be contained in specialized Liquid argon tanks and helium tanks.
There are separate precautions that need to be taken for every liquid gas because
of the distinct hazards that each one of them possess.
