Fellow LN2 users,
Here at MN we currently have a 1500 gallon high purity stainless steel liquid
nitrogen tank that we use for both LN2 and for high purity gas. For the gas
distribution system, we have high purity orbitally welded 316L ss piping. 10
years ago, 1500 gallons was enough, but now it isn't. I would like to upgrade
to a 6000 gallon tank, but the high purity ss tanks that size are over $100K in
price. What type of liquid storage tank do other universities with similar
needs use? Thanks in advance.

Greg
