Type IV composite pressure vessels for LPG

Composite cylinders as storage units for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are becoming increasingly important thanks to various advantages and a growing market acceptance. The applications of composite cylinders for LPG are very diverse.

 

General structure composite pressure vessels with casing for LPG

Composite pressure vessels for LPG offer obvious advantages compared to other pressure vessels:

The materials are resistant to rain and temperature fluctuations as well as other external factors and there is no risk of explosion even when exposed to open fire and intense heat. Another major advantage of these pressure vessels is that they are about 50 % lighter than conventional steel vessels, as well as being completely corrosion-free and resistant to UV radiation.

We are your one-stop shop for everything. From the development of the product to the construction of prototypes up to the planning and realization of entire production facilities for the manufacture of type IV composite pressure vessels.

 

Production line for type 4 LPG pressure vessels

 

Our range of services:

  • Feasibility study for composite pressure vessel projects
  • Technological consultation for composite pressure vessel production
  • Cost analysis for raw materials, manufacturing costs and production equipment
  • Development and construction of type IV composite pressure vessels, consisting of: thermoplastic liner, composite, boss, valve, seal
  • Finite element analysis of the whole composite pressure vessel (inner liner, composite, boss) to simulate its response under static and dynamic pressure loading
  • Development and design of the outer casing in close coordination with the customer (color, logo, design, etc. customizable)
  • Manufacturing simulation
  • Assembly of a prototype of the entire composite pressure vessel
  • Testing of composite pressure vessels in accordance with applicable norms and ISO standards
  • Supervision of the certification process
  • Preparation of a manufacturing concept that is individually tailored to the customer with all necessary production and testing equipment
  • 2D/3D production line layout planning
  • Creation of technical specifications / requirements
  • Procurement of offers for production equipment and raw materials for the entire production line
  • Supplier management (support during the selection of suitable suppliers)
  • Support during construction and commissioning of the production line
  • Project management
  • Documentation during the entire development cycle and project process
  • Development of transport solutions for hydrogen (e.g. transport modules)
  • Additional services on request

 

Throughout the entire product development cycle, we place particular emphasis on close coordination with our customers. Our goal is to always develop the best solution and an outstanding product for the customer. We are always open to exploring new approaches with our customers so that we can continue to develop as a company.

How do we work?

In addition to the ECS engineering team, we have a vast worldwide network of partners and suppliers with whom we have worked professionally and successfully for many years. We work independently of manufacturers and can therefore always offer the optimal solution for the customer.
