DESCRIPTION The principal features of the Cryogenic Storage Area are four
67.5 ton and two35 ton capacity cryogenic blimps for the storage of liquid oxygen (LOX). The tanks rest horizontally on saddles supported by reinforced
concrete foundations. Each tank is surrounded by a 16-inch minimum height
coral berm. A 22-ft. wide concrete paved strip in front of the rowof storage
tanks serves as the LOX transfer area. The slabis designed to confine LOX
spillage during transfers.
The complex includes four 10 x 50-ft. concrete paved LOX trailer pads. To
confine LOX spillage, there is a ]5-ft. wide curbed strip on one side of the
pad and a 7.5-ft. wide curbed strip on the other side. There is a 9-ft. square
concrete paved slab to support the LOX transfer equipment. The area is floodlighted. Electrical power receptacles and other electrical installations in the
hazardous area are of explosion proof design. Two personnel safety showers
with eyewashers are located within the complex.
The Cryogenic Storage will be relocated by July 1,
of the LOX Plant (Building 900).
