Repurposing External Storage Tanks
For Industrial Scale Vanadium Redox Flow Battery
Jurong Island, committed to advancing clean energy innovation, faced the challenge
of undergoing a significant transformation to become a hub for innovation and
sustainability in the energy and chemicals. Advario, headquartered in Rotterdam, is a
leading provider of tank storage and infrastructure solutions for chemicals, gases,
fuels, and new energies.
VFlowTech was selected to pilot the first vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) using
existing storage tank infrastructure, with electrolytes produced from recycled
industrial waste to enhance circularity, supported by Energy Market Authority (EMA),
JTC, and Enterprise Singapore under a clean energy innovation grant.

Solution
Based on the given continuous load of 180kW for minimum 8 hours or 1,600kWh requirement connected to the grid, VFlowTech deployed a 400kW/1600kWh VRFB system, comprising:
(i) 1 x 400kW/1,600kWh built in four units of 20-feet vertical storage tanks and
one 40-feet container, (ii) Seamless integration with 200kWp solar PV array, (iii) Turnkey system including battery management system (BMS) and power conversion (PCS)
The system is further complemented by an intelligent control and monitoring solution developed in-house for managing the solution with advanced functionalities.
