Make In India: INOXCVA Builds Largest Ever Liquid Hydrogen Tank For South Korea

INOXCVA, a leading cryogenic equipment and solutions manufacturer, flagged off the largest bulk Liquid Hydrogen Storage Tank ever made in India.

Built with a massive storage capacity of 238 cubic metres, the Tank embarked on its journey from INOXCVA’s Kandla facility to its destination for a clean energy demonstration project by Doosan Corporation in South Korea.

This bulk cryogenic storage tank is built to European Standards and meets Korean Gas Safety (KGS) requirements.

In 2020, Doosan Corporation announced the construction of South Korea’s first hydrogen liquefaction plant with five Tons Per Day capacity for the Changwon Hydrogen Liquefaction Project with Gyeongnam Province at Doosan’s site at the Changwon Port.

South Korea is among the leading countries in developing hydrogen as a clean energy source.

This new liquefier is in line with the South Korean Government’s plan to considerably densify the network of hydrogen stations in the country.

“We are honoured to have designed, engineered and manufactured the largest liquid hydrogen tank ever made in India, and become a part of a global clean energy initiative. We have demonstrated our world-class cryogenic capabilities for projects of such magnitude,” Siddharth Jain, Director, INOXCVA, said.

“This tank, which is first in a series of many such solutions to be manufactured at our Kandla facility, will strengthen India’s Hydrogen infrastructure and support the country’s vision of becoming a Green Hydrogen Hub,” he added.
