REDUCING COSTS WHILE IMPROVING EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY FOR TOMORROW’S ENERGY

THE CLIENT

EffecTech are market leaders in calibration and testing services, providing accredited inspection and calibration to the gas, energy, and power industries.

THE CHALLENGE

The company had identified a gap in the liquid hydrocarbon transportation market that could reduce costs and improve quality of supplied liquids to producers of Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) and Natural Gas Products (NGP).
Currently, liquid hydrocarbon is transported and stored through piston cylinders that are extremely expensive to purchase and maintain.

THE SOLUTION

EffecTech has a solution, but requires further expertise in prototyping and identifying appropriate materials for the final product: a bag that can be inserted inside a gas cylinder through a standard 1-inch hole. The bag is then filled with liquid hydrocarbon and pressurised on the outside with helium gas to maintain the liquid phase of LPG, which can then be transported worldwide.
The CALMERIC team are working to develop a bag strong enough to be rolled into any size cylinder without causing damage.
