Wessington’s Wellmite series of tanks are classified as T75 UN Portable tanks under the rules of ADR and IMDG. Wellmites are designed, manufactured and tested for storing and transporting liquid nitrogen by road, sea and from supply vessel to offshore platform.
The Wellmite consists of a cryogenic tank and associated pipe work and valves protected by a robust frame manufactured and certified to meet the requirements of DNV 2.7−1 and EN12079. Handling is by either forklift pockets or by slings attached to the frame pad eyes.
The tank has been designed for use in all areas of onshore & offshore operation where there is a limitation on floor space and a restriction in crane lifting capacity.


The tanks can be produced with working pressures of 60 psig through to 250 psig. ASME versions available.
The Wellmite also features high vacuum super-iunsulation , full set of decals (including logo’s where provided by the customer), pressure build system and various pipe work options for maximum versatility.
Custom painting on special request.
