other
there other types of storage such as:
lng
a liquefied natural gas storage tank in massachusetts.
lng facilities provide delivery capacity during peak periods when market demand exceeds pipeline deliverability. lng storage tanks possess number of advantages on underground storage. liquid @ approximately −163 °c (−260 °f), occupies 600 times less space gas stored underground, , provides high deliverability @ short notice because lng storage facilities located close market , can trucked customers avoiding pipeline tolls. there no requirement cushion gas , allows access global supply. lng facilities are, however, more expensive build , maintain developing new underground storage facilities.
pipeline capacity
gas can temporarily stored in pipeline system itself, through process called line packing. done packing more gas pipeline increase in pressure. during periods of high demand, greater quantities of gas can withdrawn pipeline in market area, injected @ production area. process of line packing performed during off peak times meet next day’s peaking demands. method, however, provides temporary short-term substitute traditional underground storage.
gasholders
an older column-guided gasholder in west ham, london
1960s-built spiral-guided gasholders in hunslet, leeds
gas can stored above ground in gasholder (or gasometer), largely balancing, not long-term storage, , has been done since victorian times. these store gas @ district pressure, meaning can provide gas @ peak times. gasholders perhaps used in united kingdom , germany. there 2 kinds of gasholder — column-guided, guided large frame visible, regardless of position of holder; , spiral-guided, have no frame , guided concentric runners in previous lift.
perhaps famous british gasholder large column-guided oval gasholders overlooks oval cricket ground in london. gasholders built in united kingdom victorian times; many, such kings cross in london , st. marks street in kingston upon hull old entirely riveted, construction predates use of welding in construction. last built in uk in 1983.
