Apart from being sold in bottles, what other packaging forms and specifications does ethylene have?
Ethylene gas (C₂H₄), as an important industrial raw material and chemical, has various packaging forms and specifications, which are mainly selected based on storage, transportation and usage requirements. The following are common packaging forms and specifications:
1. Steel cylinders (high-pressure gas cylinders)
Specifications: Common volumes include 40L, 47L, 50L, etc., and the filling pressure is usually 15MPa or 20MPa.
Features: Portable, suitable for laboratory or small-scale industrial applications, and must comply with safety standards (such as DOT or ISO certification).
Filling quantity: Usually calculated by weight (e.g., 10KG/40L).
2. Container groups (steel cylinder sets)
Specifications: Composed of multiple high-pressure steel cylinders (such as 16 or 20 cylinders) connected in series, with a total capacity of 800-1000L.
Features: Suitable for medium and small-scale gas usage, with higher transportation efficiency than single cylinders.
3. Low-temperature storage tanks
Specification:
ISO tank containers: Standard 20-foot tanks, 40-foot tanks (less common), with a volume of approximately 25-30 m³, 45-55 m³. Storage temperature: -104°C (at normal pressure).
Fixed storage tanks: Capacity ranges from several tons to several thousand tons, requiring a refrigeration system.
Features: Suitable for large-scale storage and long-distance transportation, requiring maintenance of low temperature (-104°C or below).
4. Tanker transportation
Specification:
Low-temperature tanker: Volume 20 - 50 m³, transporting liquid ethylene.
High-pressure tanker: Transporting compressed gases (rarely seen).
Features: Flexible delivery to users without pipeline facilities.
Selection basis
Usage: For small-scale, use bottles or palletized containers; for large-scale, use tanker supplies to storage tanks or tank containers for export.
Distance: Long-distance transportation prioritizes liquid (tanker/ISO tank), short-distance can use cylinders or palletized containers.
Safety: Liquid ethylene requires strict cold preservation, and attention should be paid to leakage prevention and pressure management.
Notes for Attention
All packaging must comply with local regulations (such as OSHA, GB, etc.).
The liquid ethylene equipment needs to be designed with insulation to prevent overpressure caused by vaporization.
