Krylov State Research Center is ready to solve the task of producing LNG tanks after GTT left the market of Russia. As Oleg Savchenko, General Director of Krylov State Research Center, told IAA PortNews, Krylov Center completed R&D work on creation of a principle technology for gas containment system in 2014.
“The lead department in this works was the one focused on strength. They developed the technologies and explained what domestically produced materials can be used to build systems similar to those of GTT. Now, if we are set such a task it will take us about a year and a half. We have the technology and the material. There are problems with the glue but we will solve them. We need to create a test compartment, then build a test bench to test the system parameters. We understand how to conduct the tests and how to develop the required technology and the system, how to certify materials and works,” said Oleg Savchenko.
