LIPP® Tank Refurbishing Quantities change and existing tanks become too small – these are also problems that frequently arise. In such cases, the mobile machine technology from Lipp using the LIPP® DoubleSeam System or the LIPP® welding technique offers a solution that is as simple as it is costeffective, while being extraordinarily stable. Tanks can be installed on site in any size required and can be placed in an existing steel or reinforced concrete basin using a mobile crane. The existing tank volume is utilised, eliminating the need for expensive demolition work. There is also a range of materials to choose from for the tank itself so that it can be optimally matched to the intended application. VERINOX®, the combination material developed by LIPP® consisting of galvanised steel (for the outside of steel containers) and stainless steel (for the inside of containers), is characterised in particular by the excellent costbenefit ratio that it offers.

LIPP® offers a wide range of Roofs and Covers for covering liquid, solid or gaseous media. They can be tailored and adjusted to each application. They include both roofs developed by LIPP® and also solutions designed by our partners. There are also simple foil roofs to choose from for gas storage facilities as well as singleskin, doubleskin or double diaphragm roofs. The LIPP® stainless steel diaphragm roof also offers a particularly highquality solution for the storage of volatile or explosive substances while the versatile LIPP® segment roof completes the range of covers.

LIPP® Gas Accumulators were developed as a system for the nonpressurised storage of dry gas which has been used for over 300 projects worldwide over the past years or more. Sizes from 30 to 5000 m³ are available according to the gas yield in each case. The gas accumulator consists of two parts a bubbleshaped storage balloon and a steel container to protect the balloon against mechanical damage and the effects of weathering. Speciality Accurate level measure of stored gas. In biological processes, gas production is not continuous. That is why the utilisation of gas (e.g. in a combined heat and power plant) requires an accumulator in order to compensate for fluctuations during gas production and to bridge downtimes for plant repairs and maintenance. Besides high functional and operating safety, other important criteria for the construction and operation of gas tanks include the economic aspects of investment and maintenance costs.

LIPP® Tank Accessories special attention is paid to ensure quality, safety, longevity and cost efficiency. Solid, well thoughtout finishing in every detail. Particular attention is paid to leaktightness. Openings or leadthroughs can also easily be made after attachment/installation. A broad range of technical tank accessories is available for all containers. Some are produced inhouse and some are purchased via partners or carefully selected suppliers with whom Lipp has established longterm relationships based on trust. Accessories tank bottom, tank insulation, pumping and stirring technology, overflow gutters, tank heating, steps, platforms, operating bridges, overpressure and underpressure protection devices, pipeline construction, sensors, etc.
