The proposed project

Univar Solutions are proposing to install a second nitrogen tank, approximately 11 metres in height and 3 metres in diameter, with the capacity to hold approximately 49,210 litres of liquid nitrogen, for extra storage capacity. The tank would be situated on a new concrete pad with an expected thickness of approximately 0.6 metres. The new tank would be anchor bolted into the ground, connected to the existing nitrogen system and surrounded by protective bollards.
