Abstract
In a process to transport acetylene which is dissolved in a solvent in a pressurized, insulated tank, the acetylene-to-solvent mass ratio of the solution is 0.30 at the maximum, whereby the solution has a temperature of up to -55.degree. C. [-67.degree. F] The surface of the solution in the tank is covered by a multilayer configuration consisting of pieces of floating material.

In a process to transport acetylene in a pressurized, insulated tank whereby the acetylene is dissolved in a solvent, the improvement being in dissolving the acetylene in the solvent to obtain a solution having a maximum mass ratio of 0.30 acetylene-to-solvent at a temperature of up to -55.degree. C., and covering the surface of the solution in the tank by a multilayer configuration consisting of pieces of floating material.
