CO2 is the only gaseous agent where the design rules specifically guide the protection of deep-seated hazards. Total flooding or local application systems are designed to meet the requirements of NFPA 12 or BS5306- 4 and are specifically designed using hydraulic flow calculation software. The system is VdS-approved and its components meet the requirements of EN12094 and the Pressure Equipment Directive (PED).

LCO2 tanks can be produced as polyurethane insulated cryogenic. The evaporations in these storage tanks, which can be designed vertically and horizontally for long-term storage transportation of liquid carbon dioxide, are very low due to their high-performance thermal insulation.
