ISO tanks—standardized, intermodal containers designed for bulk liquid and gas transport—are revolutionizing the global industrial gas supply chain.

ISO tanks—standardized, intermodal containers designed for bulk liquid and gas transport—are revolutionizing the global industrial gas supply chain. These robust, versatile units ensure safe, cost-effective delivery of gases like nitrogen, oxygen, argon, LNG, and specialty mixtures across industries, from manufacturing to healthcare and energy. Discover how ISO tank solutions optimize gas logistics with reliability, compliance, and scalability.

Why ISO Tanks for Gas Transport?

ISO tanks are engineered to address the unique challenges of industrial gas transport:

Standardization: Built to ISO 1496-3 specifications, they integrate seamlessly with trucks, trains, ships, and containers, enabling global intermodal logistics.

Safety: Pressure-tested, corrosion-resistant, and equipped with pressure relief valves, they prevent leaks and ensure stable storage for high-pressure or cryogenic gases.

Efficiency: Hold 10-30x more gas than cylinders, reducing transport costs, carbon emissions, and handling time for bulk users.

Versatility: Configurable for cryogenic liquids (LNG, liquid oxygen), high-pressure gases, and specialty blends, adapting to diverse industry needs.

Key Gas Applications for ISO Tanks

1. Cryogenic Gases: Extreme Cold, Maximum Efficiency

Liquid Nitrogen (LIN): Transported in ISO tanks for industrial cooling, food freezing, and medical applications. The tanks’ vacuum insulation minimizes boil-off, maintaining -196°C temperatures during transit.

Liquid Oxygen (LOX): Delivered to hospitals, metal fabrication plants, and wastewater facilities, with ISO tanks ensuring high purity (99.5%+) and consistent supply.

LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas): ISO tanks enable small-scale LNG transport for remote power generation, marine fueling, and industrial heating, supporting the shift to cleaner energy.

2. High-Pressure Industrial Gases

Argon and Helium: Used in welding, electronics, and spectroscopy, these gases require secure, pressure-controlled transport—ISO tanks with specialized valves meet this need, reducing contamination risks.

Medical Gases: Oxygen, nitrous oxide, and medical air are transported in ISO tanks certified to pharmacopeial standards (USP, EP), ensuring sterility for healthcare facilities.

3. Specialty Blends and Hazmat Gases

Calibration Mixtures: Precise gas blends for industrial sensors and laboratory equipment are transported in ISO tanks with inert linings, preserving accuracy.

Hazardous Gases (e.g., chlorine, ammonia): ISO tanks with reinforced materials and leak-detection systems ensure safe transport for water treatment and chemical manufacturing.

Advantages of ISO Tank Solutions for Gas Logistics

Cost Savings: Fewer deliveries and lower handling costs compared to cylinders, reducing total logistics expenses by 30-50% for bulk users.

Sustainability: Reduced carbon footprint from fewer trucks/ships and optimized loading, aligning with green supply chain goals.

Reliability: 24/7 monitoring of pressure and temperature via telemetry systems, ensuring gas quality upon arrival.

Compliance: Meets global regulations (ADR, IMDG, DOT) for hazardous materials transport, with documentation for customs and safety audits.
