PLANS have been drawn up for the installation of a liquefied natural gas tank in Fradley.

A hazardous substances consent application has been submitted for a 17-tonne LNG storage facility at the Screwfix distribution centre on Nascawern Road.

If approved it could see up to 60 HGVs refuelled each day.

A statement supporting the proposals said:

> "Road tankers will deliver LNG to the storage tank at a rate of 600 litres per minute.  
>  
> "These tankers have emergency stop and dead man facilities added as extra safety measures. There is also an automatic LNG storage tank overfill protection system.  
>  
> "The LNG pump is inside vacuum insulated chambers and pump LNG to the dispensers when a customer vehicle requires refuelling. During normal operation, each refuelling can typically be up to 150kg.  
>  
> "Some truck manufacturers specify ‘warm’ gas for their vehicles, so a low pressure saturation vaporiser is used to saturate the gas and raise the pressure."
