最近美国天然气使用量每年达6.2×1018立米(620万兆立米),为了解决储藏问题,1974年12月在纽约建设可以储藏九十万桶(相当于10万7千立米)液化天然气预应力混凝土罐二座。罐的构造,是由同心圆双层预制预应力混凝土壁板构成。外壁和内壁的直径分别为84米和74米,高36米,每块壁板宽2.4米、 The United States has recently used 6.2×1018 cubic meters of natural gas per year (6.22 million cubic meters). To solve the storage problem, a 970,000 barrel (equivalent to 107,000 cubic meters) of liquefied natural gas prestressed concrete can be stored in New York in December 1974. Two cans. The structure of the tank consists of a concentric double prefabricated prestressed concrete wall. The diameter of the outer wall and inner wall is 84 meters and 74 meters respectively, and the height is 36 meters. Each wall is 2.4 meters wide.
