摘要： A system and a method for transferring cryogenic fluids; e.g. transferring liquefied natural gas (LNG) between an offshore receiving/loading station (13) and an onshore facility (11). The flowline system which can be submerged in water is comprised of a main transfer conduit (15) which is positioned within an outer jacket and a return conduit which is positioned within the main transfer conduit. The annulus between the jacket and the main conduit is insulated. Both the main conduit and the return conduit include means which allow the respective conduits to expand/contract with temperature changes.

摘要： A large, box-like polygonal tank (30) for storing liquefied gas on land or on ground based structures and a method of constructing the tank. The tank is comprised of an internal, truss-braced, rigid frame (31), having a cover (40) on the frame for containing the stored liquid within the tank. The internal, truss-braced frame allows the interior of the tank to be contiguous throughout while compensating for the dynamic loads caused by the 'sloshing' of stored liquid which, in turn, is due to the short excitation periods caused by seismic activity.
