Abstract:
System for the transportation and storage of a product which comprises a tank including cylindrical wall section and two ends, wherein the cylindrical wall section and two ends define a cylindrical tank periphery, and wherein the tank periphery has an interior and an exterior. The system utilizes a valve box that includes one or more side walls, a bottom wall, and a removable, sealable top cover which can be attached to the one or more side walls to seal the valve box, wherein the valve box side walls are sealably joined to the cylindrical wall. One or more process valves are disposed in the valve box, wherein each valve has a first and a second end, wherein each first end is connected to a pipe which passes through a wall of the valve box for introducing product into the tank or withdrawing product from the tank. A purge valve and pressure measurement means are installed in fluid communication with the valve box. The product in the tank is isolated from the atmosphere surrounding the tank when the valve box is sealed.
Abstract:
The mobile station of the invention consists in a mobile device being formed by a tank truck comprising the actual tank-container, an LNG transfer tank, a high-pressure pump allowing to obtain the CNG from the LNG, a set of several high-pressure cylinders, a high-pressure vaporiser being fit to vaporise the LNG by heating it up to the ambient temperature in order to thus be in a position to have it supplied to a CNG tank, flowmeters both for CNG and LNG, and a control panel using PLC technology and thus being fir to in an automatic and safe manner carry out the gas refuelling operations by means of a fluid circulation and control circuit and/or electric-electronic signals between said components.
Abstract:
A system and method utilising compressed gas according to which the gas is compressed at a location (10) above ground and transported to an underwater location(16). The gas is stored at the underwater location and later returned from the underwater location to the above-ground location for utilisation as energy.
Abstract:
An installation comprises a vault (4) housing a liquefied storage tank (2), a chamber (14) within the vault (4) accessible to personnel, a liquefied gas inlet pipeline leading to the gas storage tank (2), a liquefied gas supply pipeline (22) extending from the storage tank (2) through a vaporiser (37) out of the vault (4) and at least one first cabinet (34, 36, 38) through which the liquefied gas supply pipeline (22) passes. The first cabinets (34, 36, 38) are located in the chamber and house items of equipment in the liquefied gas supply pipeline (22) which have an associated risk of leakage. There is also at least one first extractor fan communicating with the first cabinets (34, 36, 38) and means separate from the first extractor fan for changing the atmosphere in the chamber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a container for cryogenic liquids comprising an inner container (1) and an outer container (2), positioned relative to one another and thermally isolated from each other by a vacuum insulation layer (13). The aim of the invention is to obtain the best possible thermal insulation with the lowest weight and lowest costs for mass production. To achieve this: the inner container (1) and the outer container (2) each consist of pre-treated fibre-reinforced elements (14; 5, 15), which are both bound by a filament (10, 20) and thus interconnected; and supports (11, 12; 55) consisting of a fibre-reinforced plastic are provided on the inner container (1), for positioning the latter (1) relative to the outer container (2).
Abstract:
The methods and apparatus for transporting compressed gas includes a gas storage system (see Figures), that may be modular or integrated into a vessel (10), having a plurality of large diameter, high-strength steel pipes (14) connected by a manifold (see Fig. 10) whereby the gas storage system (see Figures) is designed to operate in the range of the optimum compressibility factor for a given composition of gas. Knowing the desired compressibility factor and a selected low temperature, the diameter and wall thickness of the pipe (12) may be determined for a desired pressure range of the gas at the selected low temperature (Fig. 4). A vessel (10) with the gas storage system designed for a particular composition gas produced at a given location is used to transport gas from that producing location (113) to offloading ports (141) hundreds, or thousands, of miles from the producing location (113), where a displacement fluid (144) may be used to offload the gas from the gas storage system.
Abstract:
Das Unterseeboot ist mit einem Flüssiggasdruckbehälter (3), insbesondere einem Druckbehälter (3) zur Lagerung flüssigen Sauerstoffs ausgestattet. Der Flüssiggasdruckbehälter (3) ist innerhalb des Druckkörpers (2) des Unterseebootes angeordnet und von einem äußeren Druckbehälter (6) umgeben, der ebenfalls innerhalb des Druckkörpers (2) des Unterseebootes gelagert ist. Es sind Mittel vorgesehen, welche beim Überschreiten eines vorgegebenen Drucks innerhalb eines Druckbehälters (3) Fluid vom Druckbehälter (3) aus dem Druckkörper (2) herausleiten (Fig. 1).
Abstract:
