The LIPP® Large Thermal Storage Tank is a customized solution to effectively store excessive heat from biogas plants, biomass heating plants, solar plants or other heat sources. The carbon steel tanks are fabricated on site with the patented automated LIPP® Welding Technology. The horizontal welding process enables the infinitely variable production of tanks up to 6,000 m³ volume with horizontal welding only. The largevolume, above ground storage tanks are fitted with all necessary safety and operation equipment. Additional, individual components according to client’s specification can be considered. The roof and wall insulation is individually adapted to local conditions. The LIPP® Thermal Storage Tanks operate at atmospheric pressure, at a temperature of up to 95° C and are suitable for use with heating water. Speciality No additional nitrogen system necessary.

LIPP® Welded Tanks offer the ideal storage solution for a wide variety of media. Tanks are produced by means of an automated welding process specially developed by LIPP® and can be constructed individually in diameter in volumes of 50 to 10,000 m³ according to the application. LIPP® offers a corresponding selection of metallic materials suitable for use with storage media ranging from drinking water and foodstuffs to ethanol or oil. These materials range from a variety of different steel grades to highalloy stainless steels. The automated process meets the highest quality standards. LIPP® Welded Storage Tanks can be produced within a short time, either on site in the open air or inside a building.

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.

Whether you need a logistics warehouse, showroom, production space or all-in-one business solution with storage space and offices, the Revolution will bring you the functional space you need in a contemporary package.

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE STORAGE OF CEREAL PASTE AND SUGAR BEET Lipp plans and sells storage systems for biomass such as cereal paste or sugar beet under the brand names LIGAVATOR and BETAVATOR. These systems are generally gas tight and both roof and container base (optional) are made of solid stainless steel, since the stored media can give rise to very aggressive juices and gases. With this type of storage the substances are preserved and can be used over a very long period. Automatic withdrawal and substrate delivery can also be installed in the following systems by an appropriate control system. APPLICATION EXAMPLES AND REFERENCES In addition to pure crop storage, the Lipp LIGAVATOR / BETAVATOR systems are mainly used as substrate storage for agricultural or industrial biogas plants, and are installed before the fermenter for appropriate substrate supply. They allow largely automated control of a biogas plant, as there is no need for a regular manual substrate supply.

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE STORAGE OF SLURRY Following the further development of the Lipp dual seam system and the container material it was possible not only to build silos for bulk materials, but also silos for the storage of liquids, such as liquid manure. Since slurry is also rather more aggressive and can attack concrete or similar vessels, especially over the years, Lipp always offers its system solutions for the storage of slurry in principle in V2A stainless steel (1.4301), when it is clear that the tank will remain open. Possible changes are also taken into account with the customer during the planning process and in case of a future modification of the slurry tank consideration is given to an alternative material (V4A) or the possibility of a subsequent roof construction. Thus, the container retains its flexibility and can later be converted into a fermenter, secondary fermenter or other container.

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR GAS STORAGE With the Lipp gas holder Lipp offers a tried and tested system solution which is complete in itself, for unpressurised storage of biogas, sewage gas and landfill gas. This solution is chiefly used for municipal waste water treatment plants and landfills. Due to its design, as well as high functional and operational safety, it also ensures low maintenance costs over a very long service life. This is mainly because the sensitive gas holder is protected against UV radiation and other environmental influences by a steel container manufactured with the Lipp dual seam system. Furthermore, this construction method allows an exact leak test and highly accurate metrological monitoring of the gas fill level. Both aspects are essential for safe and efficient plant operation. With certification according to § 19 WHG for Lipp GmbH and DVGW approval of the gas storage tank, further conditions are met for use in municipal waste water treatment plants.

CONTAINER AND SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE INTERMEDIATE STORAGE OF HEAT FROM WASTE HEAT OR RENEWABLE ENERGIES The intermediate storage of heat from biogas plants, biomass cogeneration plants or other heat sources is an important prerequisite for effective use. Lipp buffer tank systems are economic system solutions for the storage and supply of thermal energy and can be easily integrated into customised solutions for local heat supply. LIPP BUFFER STORAGE TANKS The individually tailored solution appropriate to heat storage requirements with useful volumes of 80 to 3,000 m³ is made of stainless steel with the Lipp dual seam system and operated in conjunction with insulation adjusted to the application at about 95 ° C. Since the Lipp system is unpressurised, the container solutions are extremely low maintenance and are very durable. The high volume, above ground Lipp storage tanks have been specially developed for this application and are popular with end users and energy suppliers alike.

FOR COVERING LIQUID, SOLID OR GASEOUS MEDIA There are many factors to be taken into account in order to ensure that the medium to be stored is properly covered. To guarantee that the right type of cover is chosen, aspects such as structural requirements, container type, plant concept and the medium to be stored need to be considered. Lipp offers a wide range of roofs and covers which 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 single skin, double skin or double diaphragm roofs. The LIPP stainless steel diaphragm roof also offers a particularly high quality solution for the storage of volatile or explosive substances while the versatile LIPP segment roof completes the range of covers.
