Specialized Tank for Ethylene Oxide Storage and Transportation


Ethylene oxide is an important chemical intermediate used in a wide range of industrial applications. At the same time, its hazardous characteristics require specialized equipment for handling, storage, and transportation.

A conventional chemical storage tank may not be suitable for ethylene oxide applications without appropriate design and certification.

The Ethylene Oxide Storage Tank is designed specifically for EO-related storage and transportation requirements. Its tank container configuration provides an integrated solution for moving ethylene oxide between production facilities, storage locations, ports, and downstream chemical users.

The 30ft T50 tank container combines storage and transportation functions in one specialized unit, helping support long-distance and cross-regional ethylene oxide logistics.


Designed for High-Risk Ethylene Oxide Applications


Ethylene oxide has several characteristics that require careful consideration during storage and transportation. It is highly flammable and explosive and can also undergo polymerization under unsuitable conditions.

These properties make the safety and sealing performance of the storage tank particularly important.

The Ethylene Oxide Storage Tank is designed with the specific characteristics of EO transportation in mind. The tank system focuses on reliable containment and controlled handling to reduce potential risks associated with the storage and movement of hazardous chemical media.

For chemical manufacturers, logistics companies, storage operators, and qualified downstream users, specialized EO tank containers can provide a dedicated transportation and storage solution.


30ft T50 Ethylene Oxide Tank Container


The 30ft T50 Ethylene Oxide Tank Container is developed for long-distance ethylene oxide transportation and cross-regional chemical logistics.

The T50 tank container configuration is suitable for transporting liquefied gases and other applicable hazardous substances under relevant regulatory requirements. For EO applications, the tank is designed specifically according to the characteristics and transportation requirements of ethylene oxide.

Its 30ft container format supports integration with established logistics systems and facilitates transportation between different locations.

Depending on the applicable regulations and transportation route, the tank container can support sea and road transportation, providing greater flexibility for cross-regional EO logistics.


Compliance with International and Domestic Standards

Compliance with International and Domestic Standards

Safety compliance is one of the most important considerations when selecting an ethylene oxide tank container.

The 30ft T50 Ethylene Oxide Tank Container is designed to meet applicable requirements of international and domestic regulations and standards, including:

IMDG Code

The tank container is designed with reference to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, which provides international requirements for the maritime transportation of dangerous goods.

TS-GR0005

The tank is designed with reference to TS-GR0005 Safety Technical Supervision Regulations for Mobile Pressure Vessels, supporting the relevant requirements for mobile pressure vessel safety supervision.

Compliance requirements may vary according to the specific tank design, certification, cargo classification, transportation route, and applicable jurisdiction. Final operation should always follow the relevant regulations and approved technical documentation.


Reliable Sealing for Ethylene Oxide


Sealing performance is a critical consideration for ethylene oxide storage and transportation.

Because EO is a hazardous chemical, the tank system needs to maintain reliable containment throughout loading, storage, transportation, and unloading.

The Ethylene Oxide Storage Tank is designed as a specialized enclosed tank system to support secure containment of the chemical medium.

Appropriate sealing components and tank system design help maintain the integrity of the containment system during long-distance transportation.

For EO logistics, reliable sealing is not simply an equipment feature. It is an essential part of the overall safety management process.


Suitable for Long-Distance EO Transportation


The Ethylene Oxide Storage Tank is designed to support long-distance and cross-regional transportation.

Compared with transferring EO between separate fixed storage tanks at multiple locations, a tank container can serve as an integrated transport and storage unit during the logistics process.

This containerized configuration can help simplify the movement of ethylene oxide between production plants, ports, logistics hubs, and downstream facilities, subject to applicable dangerous-goods transportation requirements.

It is particularly suitable for chemical supply chains that require transportation across different regions.


Multimodal Transportation Capability


One of the key advantages of a tank container is its ability to integrate with multiple transportation modes.

The 30ft T50 Ethylene Oxide Tank Container is designed to support suitable maritime and road transportation applications.

Sea Transportation

The tank container can be used for qualified international or domestic maritime transportation of ethylene oxide under applicable dangerous-goods regulations.

Its containerized format allows EO transportation to be integrated into established container logistics systems.

Road Transportation

After arriving at the destination or logistics hub, the tank container can be transported by road using suitable transportation equipment and procedures.

This provides a flexible connection between ports, chemical plants, storage facilities, and downstream users.

The combination of sea and road transportation makes the tank suitable for cross-regional ethylene oxide supply chains.


Integrated Storage and Transportation Solution

A dedicated Ethylene Oxide Storage Tank can serve both storage and transportation functions.

During transportation, the tank acts as a specialized cargo container for ethylene oxide. Once delivered to an appropriate facility, it can serve as a temporary or operational storage unit according to the approved application and relevant regulations.

This integrated approach can reduce the need for repeated chemical transfer between different containers during logistics operations.

It also provides greater flexibility for chemical companies managing geographically distributed production and consumption facilities.
