Chart is pleased to announce a major milestone for the company and industry with shipment of the first two jumbo cryogenic tanks built at the “Teddy2” facility in Theodore, AL. Each with a capacity of 1,700 m³ (450,000 gallon), they are considered to be the largest shop-built cryogenic tanks ever.
Built to support next-generation space launch infrastructure, these tanks reflect the growing demand for large-scale liquid gas storage across a wide range of emerging applications in aerospace, clean energy, maritime and carbon capture. In addition to increased storage capacity, shop building reduces on-site construction and facilitates modularization thereby reducing overall project cost, schedule and risk.
Opened in March 2024, “Teddy2”, so called because it is Chart’s second manufacturing facility in Theodore, Alabama, has direct access to waterways and railways, providing customers with lower freight costs and faster transportation to their sites. The expansion has also contributed to local job creation and economic development and is consistent with the region’s ambitions as an innovation hub for cleantech.
