The paper deals with the main technological features which should be taken into account during design, fabrication and mounting of tanks from 9 % Ni steel for liquefied natural gas storage. They include preparation for welding, selection of welding processes and consumables, modular assembly of the tank in site, application of ultrasonic peening of welded joints for stress relieving. 8 Ref., 6 Tables, 5 Figures.
Keywords: arc welding, isothermal tanks, 9 % Ni steel, design, fabrication, mounting, modular assembly, ultrasonic peening
