Gas storage In 1925, the first waterless gas storage tank was placed in service in Michigan City, Indiana, by the Northern Indiana Gas and Electric Co. Instead of a water trough design, the gasholder had a piston to adjust pressure as the amount of stored gas varied. The gas-tight joint between the piston and the holder walls was made by a tar seal. Steel plates, each 20 x 32 feet , were used to construct the tank, which was 105-ft diameter and 160-ft height, with a capacity of one million cubic feet of gas. It was erected by Bartlett-Hayward Company, Baltimore. |
