GreenER™ Cryogenic Technologies may offer significant design advantages through no-bottom-penetration architecture, full pressure-build liquid transfer, reduced or eliminated rotating equipment, flat-bottom and fabricated LNG bullet-tank configuration, but final compliance must be determined project-by-project by the applicable authority having jurisdiction, engineer of record, and, where applicable, Coast Guard, FERC, PHMSA, state regulators, and classification societies.

GreenER™ fabricated cryogenic technology and LNG bullet tanks are typically evaluated more like ASME Section VIII cryogenic pressure vessels, while large flat-bottom LNG tanks are typically evaluated under API 625/API 620 and related full-containment tank standards. That distinction matters because GreenER™ Technology is not simply a different version of a conventional flat-bottom LNG tank; it is a different tank architecture with different pressure, penetration, foundation, containment, inspection, and failure-mode assumptions.
