Uncompromised quality. Low cost.
Low cost type IV pressure vessels in lightweight, robust fibreglass composite significantly reduce lifecycle cost, while preserving quality, safety and the lifetime of our products. Non-corrosive properties of the material requires less frequent need for inspection, lower maintenance costs, and offer a price-competitive alternative to carbon fiber solutions.
Intelligent material
Composite materials utilized in design of UAC pressure vessels offer non-corrosive properties, wide temperature tolerances, high-strength fatigue durability, enhanced safety and a long design life in harsh and hazardous environments, and offer up to 70% weight reduction, compared to steel cylinders. Composite materials are highly flexible and scalable to accommodate larger containment and transportation gas volumes.
Ultimate safety
Ultimate safety delivered by UAC solutions is granted both by the material properties of glassfibre pressure vessels and by the structural design of our transportation modules. We subject our products to stringent fire, fatigue, stress rupture, burst, impact and proof tests. Designed according to “leak before burst” principle, our pressure vessels demonstrate superior safety levels, challenging carbon fibre and steel alternatives, and safely handle all types of high-pressure gas combinations, exceeding industry safety standards.
Profitable lifetime
25+ years design life certification of UAC pressure vessels guarantees high-performance utilization and a profitable lifetime of our solutions, contributing to cost-effectiveness of our customers’ projects. Investment in high-pressure gas storage and transportation solutions can be high, and long and durable lifetime of solutions is often a customer requirement. We combine our expertise, intelligent materials and smart design to improve performance and increase profitability throughout gas supply chain.
Industry-specific solutions
Technology that underpins our flexible solutions for project-specific conditions and standard configurations that meet regulatory requirements is at the core of our expertise. Fail-proof materials, stringent design, production and testing processes, understanding of operational requirements of particular industries and our dedication to global efforts of reducing emissions, drives us to explore and implement solutions for a cleaner environment on land and at sea.
Setting new standards
Innovation readiness and capability, evolution of our expertise, complementary background and experience of our team, close cooperation with class societies and participation in industry R&D projects represent a unique potential for our further advances in CNG, biogas and hydrogen applications in land and marine storage and transportation industries.
