GTT licenses membrane tank technology to Matrix PDM
Matrix PDM Engineering (Matrix PDM), a subsidiary of Matrix Service Company, has signed an agreement with GTT North America, a subsidiary of GTT (Gaztransport & Technigaz), to offer membrane tank technology. Matrix PDM is the first EPC company based in the US to be licensed by GTT. The agreement comes following revisions to various standards including NFPA 59A and Canadian Standard CSA Z276 to include provisions for the use of membrane tanks for cryogenic and refrigerated storage in North America.
By offering membrane tanks, the Matrix’s LNG and NGL customers now have a full spectrum of solutions available to meet their project needs in cryogenic and low temperature products.
"GTT membrane technology adds to our suite of offerings and builds upon our years of experience in the traditional design and construction methods used for LNG and NGL tanks," said Ken Erdmann, Vice President of Matrix PDM Engineering. "The technology has been used for decades on LNG carriers and various land based applications in other countries around the world. Examples of projects that might benefit are LNG facilities where owner/operators seek faster speed to market or, in some instances, for projects located in areas with higher seismic activity."
