LCO2 Polyurethane Insulated Storage Tanks
LCO₂ polyurethane-insulated storage tanks manufactured by Yılteks Energy are specially designed for the safe and efficient storage of liquefied carbon dioxide in fixed installations. Thanks to polyurethane foam insulation technology, low evaporation rates and high thermal insulation are achieved, while the system is designed to be durable, long-lasting, and maintenance-friendly. They are widely used by industrial gas producers, as well as in the beverage, welding, and chemical industries.
