SNG and Air Tanks

SNG (Synthetic Natural Gas) and air tanks are critical components in industrial gas and air systems. They serve as stabilizing elements, helping compensate for fluctuations in supply, guaranteeing pressure consistency, and providing a safety margin in different applications. At I-Maximum, we develop and produce reliable, high-performance tanks appropriate for propane-air systems, compressed air networks, and general industrial gas storage.

Such tanks are often employed in energy systems that depend on synthetic gas generated by mixing vaporized propane with air. In addition, they function as storage reservoirs in air compression systems, helping decrease the strain on compressors and maintain consistent pressure. Whether the requirement is for gas blending, industrial process support, or emergency reserves, the I-Maximum SNG and air tanks offer durable and compliant solutions.

Buffer Tanks for SNG Applications

One of the vital components in SNG systems is the propane buffer tank. These tanks are embedded into propane-air mixing stations to stabilize flow and pressure. The essence of the operation is the process when propane is vaporized and blended with air to simulate natural gas properties. The eventual gas mixture is then stored temporarily in a gas buffer tank before distribution. This buffer allows the system to operate smoothly despite variations in demand or sudden disruptions in delivery.

Without a properly sized buffer, pressure kicks and drops can bring about inconsistent gas composition or even system shutdowns. The tanks’ objective is to absorb these fluctuations, providing precise mixture control and safe downstream performance.

Our tanks for SNG systems have been engineered to meet international pressure vessel standards and can be adjusted to a variety of capacities and working pressures. Depending upon the deployment layout, we offer both vertical and horizontal models, with alternatives for outdoor or underground installation. For instance, a buffer propane tank with thermal insulation and corrosion-resistant coating is perfect for use in cold climates or exposed locations.

Another function of these tanks is to provide operational autonomy. By holding reserve gas, the tanks allow burners, boilers, or generators to continue running during peak usage or supply interruptions. This is crucial for industries operating in remote or off-grid areas, where continuous fuel delivery is mission-critical.

Air Buffer Tanks in Compressed Air Systems

In air compression applications, storage is just as important as production. The air buffer tank serves as a balancing element that supports the compression air network by smoothing away pressure fluctuations and reducing compressor cycling. Every time there is an increase in air demand due to the activation of numerous pneumatic tools or machinery, the buffer tank supplies the additional volume without making the compressor gain momentum instantly.

Except for the provision of a consistent air supply, this process also enhances the energy efficiency of the entire system. A relevantly sized compressed air buffer tank helps reduce the frequency of start-stop cycles, thus extending the life of the compressor and minimizing maintenance expenses.

For industrial facilities employing centralized compressed air networks, a large industrial air tank becomes indispensable. It ensures pressure stability for automated lines, robotic equipment, and air-driven actuators. Moreover, it functions as a reservoir during peak usage or emergency shutdowns, allowing operations to continue for short periods even when the compressor fails.

We offer tanks with various orientations and dimensions, allowing for integration into constricted spaces or open outdoor environments. In addition, optional accessories that include level indicators, pressure relief valves, and anti-condensation coatings are available upon request.

Advantages of I-Maximum Tanks

Our tanks have been made using certified materials and processes to guarantee long-term durability and safety. Each unit has been tested to comply with high-pressure resistance requirements and includes anti-corrosion measures for longevity in harsh industrial locations. The I-Maximum production conforms to ISO (International Standards Organization) and CE (Conformité Européenne) norms, making these tanks suitable for deployment in both global and European markets. 

The main benefits comprise the following:

• Customizable volumes and pressure ranges depending on system characteristics.

• High-quality welding and protective coatings for outdoor and indoor use.

• Seamless integration with existing SNG mixers, compressors, and vaporizers.

• Reduced system stress and improved operational efficiency.

These advantages translate into decreased downtime, optimal energy use, and extended equipment service life. Whether employed as a gas buffer tank or in an air network, our products have been manufactured for performance and resilience.

Industry Applications

SNG and air tanks are applied in a wide range of industries. For example, in energy and utility facilities, tanks support SNG production used as a backup fuel during interruptions in the main natural gas delivery. Manufacturing plants employ air tanks to maintain the steady operation of their pneumatic equipment.

Let us review two typical cases where I-Maximum tanks become pivotal:

• SNG Systems. Our tanks function as reliable intermediate storage between vaporization, blending, and end-use. They guarantee that the mixture ratio remains consistent even during sudden fluctuations, such as peak shaving scenarios or seasonal consumption variations.

• Air Compression Systems. Tanks store compressed air generated during low-demand periods and release it during high-demand spikes. This balance helps to prevent compressor overloading and decreases overall electric energy consumption in the facility.

Additionally, hybrid systems that combine SNG and requirements can take advantage of both types of tanks, deployed side by side or within a single integrated module. This is especially useful in distant energy stations or mobile energy platforms where efficiency, compactness, and stability are crucial requirements.
