Abstract
This paper presents a solution for subsea storage of chemicals, where the conventional solid barriers between the chemical and sea water are replaced by a liquid layer, forming a liquid stacking tower inside a vertical tank. It can deal with most of the chemical formulations, providing a pressure balanced system based on barriers that are inherently damage-free. The storage units are easy to integrate and maintain as their design is simple. The benefits of the technology are discussed, also providing an overview of the ongoing qualification programme.
