Sustainable and Innovative Offshore Liquid Transport Container-Tank Design and Production
The design and production of a DNV-approved offshore container for ethanol transportation aims to increase safety and efficiency in dangerous goods transportation by complying with international standards. During the design process, solutions were developed that meet the requirements of T7-T11 coded tanks in accordance with the IMDG (International Maritime Dangerous Goods) classification. The materials and design features to be used ensure that the container is designed to meet challenging test conditions such as breaking strength at -20 degrees Celsius, pressure resistance at -0.5 atm and drop. Innovative materials and methods such as 316 quality stainless steel, chemical etching and passivation techniques, and paint coating increase the durability of the container. This domestic production offers a more sustainable solution in hazardous material transportation with its environmentally friendly features and high safety standards.
The development of hazardous material transport containers in accordance with international standards poses significant technical difficulties both at the design and production stages. Complying with DNV 2.7-1 standards requires meeting stringent engineering requirements such as fracture strength at -20 degrees Celsius and compressive strength at -0.5 atm. In addition, it is aimed that the containers to be used in the field are resistant to real working conditions such as falling, tipping over and falling from a height. Achieving these high safety standards with domestic means necessitated both detailed testing processes and the use of innovative materials.
