25,000 Gallon Liquid CO₂ Storage Vessel – ASME horizontal storage vessel – 350 PSI

This listing is for a 25,000-gallon horizontal ASME pressure vessel originally manufactured for liquid CO₂ storage. Manufactured by Cyprus Specialty Steel Co. in 1980 for AmeriGas, the vessel is registered with the National Board under No. 190 and carries a documented 350 PSI MAWP.

The vessel is available as-is for refurbishment or repurposing, or Hess Services can work with your engineering team to modify the vessel for your specific application. Our ASME-certified fabrication team can perform modifications such as adding or relocating nozzles, modifying connections, and replacing the existing manway with a larger manway, subject to engineering review and applicable ASME Code requirements.

The vessel was built in 1980 in accordance with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1 (1977).

U-1A Manufacturer's Data Report available upon request.

The vessel's original manufacturer's data report has been located and provides significant additional information regarding its construction and design. According to the manufacturer's documentation, the vessel was manufactured in 1980 by Cyprus Specialty Steel Co. of Phoenix, Arizona, for AmeriGas. The manufacturer's report identifies the vessel as Serial No. 1402 and National Board Registration No. 190. The original installation location is listed as Phoenix, Arizona.

The manufacturer's report identifies the vessel as a horizontal pressure vessel with a 25,000-gallon capacity. The report specifies an 88-inch inside diameter, a nominal shell length of 77 feet, and 2:1 elliptical heads. Field measurements of the vessel are consistent with the manufacturer's documented dimensions, including an overall length of approximately 82 feet (seam to seam 77 feet) and an outside diameter of approximately 7.5 feet.

The manufacturer's documentation specifies a maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) of 350 PSI at 650°F and a documented hydrostatic test pressure of 525 PSI. The shell and heads are identified as SA-516-70 material.

At the time of the gas plant dismantling, this vessel was not in active process service. Its specific application within the former facility has not been confirmed.

Configuration note: The vessel's documented original construction information is supported by the manufacturer's data report. Descriptions of the currently observed internal piping and additional vessel penetrations are based on visual inspection and field measurements. The original function of individual nozzles, penetrations, and internal piping within the former gas plant application has not been independently established.

Typical Applications

A vessel of this size and pressure rating may be considered for applications such as:

• Bulk liquid CO₂ storage
• Industrial gas storage and distribution
• Food and beverage CO₂ supply
• Beverage carbonation
• Dry ice production
• Greenhouse CO₂ supply
• Industrial process applications
• CO₂ storage and supply systems
• Repurposed pressure-vessel applications
• Hydrocarbon storage
• Process surge service
• Separator service
• Liquid accumulation
• Industrial process systems
• Custom process equipment
• Repurposed industrial storage or process service

Actual suitability for any application, including pressure, temperature, fluid compatibility, code requirements, and regulatory requirements, should be determined by the purchaser and their qualified engineering personnel.

Condition

This equipment was removed during dismantling of a former gas processing facility. The vessel was not in active process service at the time of dismantling and is being offered in its current as-removed condition.

The vessel has been visually inspected from accessible exterior areas and through the available manway opening. The internal piping configuration and the original purpose of the various nozzles and penetrations have not been fully established. Purchasers are encouraged to inspect the vessel and perform any additional examination necessary to determine its suitability for their intended application.

The availability of the original manufacturer's data report and National Board registration information provides useful documentation of the vessel's original construction and design parameters. However, no representation is made that the vessel is currently suitable for pressure service without inspection, testing, engineering evaluation, and any refurbishment or recertification required by the purchaser's application and applicable requirements.
