Large-Scale LPG Bullet Tanks – Brazil

Project Overview

This large-scale LPG storage project involved the design, fabrication, and export of 17 high-capacity LPG bullet tanks to Brazil, supporting the infrastructure expansion of BENTO PEDROSO CONSTRUÇÕES, S.A. for their national LPG distribution network. Each bullet tank, measuring 8 meters in diameter and 72 meters in length, is engineered for above-ground high-pressure storage of liquefied petroleum gas in tropical and seismically active environments.

Constructed from ASME SA537 Class 2 normalized pressure vessel steel, the tanks ensure excellent fracture toughness, impact resistance, and long-term pressure integrity, suitable for large-scale LPG terminals and regional bottling facilities.
