Its main product lines consist of membrane sheets, stainless steel corners, and anchor strips used in Mark III type LNG Cargo Tanks for LNG carriers. The membrane sheet category includes Flat Membrane (models MS1, MS8), a primary product installed on the inner walls of LNG tanks. Additionally, Special Membrane for tank corners or end parts and Accessory Membrane (Angle Piece, Dog leg) for tank corner connections or Flat Membrane end connections are key items. Stainless Steel Corners, including 2-Way and 3-Way models, along with Anchor Strips, provide structural stability for LNG cargo tanks. A core technology involves utilizing the patented Corrugation shape from Gaztransport & Technigaz (GTT) to absorb contraction and expansion stress caused by temperature changes within LNG Cargo Tanks. The company possesses automated production capabilities to meet the global trend of LNG carrier cargo tanks emphasizing insulation efficiency. Currently, it is developing liquefied hydrogen storage tanks applicable to automobiles.Itsmainproductlinesconsistofmembranesheets,stainlesssteelcorners,andanchorstripsusedinMarkIIItypeLNGCargoTanksforLNGcarriers.ThemembranesheetcategoryincludesFlatMembrane(modelsMS1,MS8),aprimaryproductinstalledontheinnerwallsofLNGtanks.Additionally,SpecialMembranefortankcornersorendpartsandAccessoryMembrane(AnglePiece,Dogleg)fortankcornerconnectionsorFlatMembraneendconnectionsarekeyitems.StainlessSteelCorners,including2-Wayand3-Waymodels,alongwithAnchorStrips,providestructuralstabilityforLNGcargotanks.AcoretechnologyinvolvesutilizingthepatentedCorrugationshapefromGaztransport&Technigaz(GTT)toabsorbcontractionandexpansionstresscausedbytemperaturechangeswithinLNGCargoTanks.ThecompanypossessesautomatedproductioncapabilitiestomeettheglobaltrendofLNGcarriercargotanksemphasizinginsulationefficiency.Currently,itisdevelopingliquefiedhydrogenstoragetanksapplicabletoautomobiles.
