Abstract: A device for transferring a fluid from a supply tank to a receiver tank includes at least one duct for charging the receiver tank with liquid and at least one duct for return of the gas. The gas return duct is configured to transfer the gas contained in the receiver tank at a pressure close to or significantly different from the pressure of the supply tank.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas treatment method and system of a gas storage facility (2), in particular on board a ship, the method comprising the following stages: an extraction of a first gas (4a, 4b, 5a, 5b,) in the liquid state from a first tank (4) or first vessel (5; 500), a first subcooling of the first gas in the liquid state, and storage of the subcooled first gas in the liquid state in the lower part of the first tank (4) or of the first vessel (5; 500) or of a second tank or of a second vessel, so as to constitute a reserve layer of cold (4c, 5c, 500c) of the subcooled first gas in the liquid state at the bottom of the first or second tank (4) or of the first or second vessel (5; 500).

Abstract: The invention relates to a bending device for forming corrugations in a metal sheet including: a lower frame; an upper frame able to move vertically between a rest position and a bending position; at least two dies, carried by the lower frame; one being fixed with respect to the lower frame and the other mounted with the ability to slide; at least two punches carried by the upper frame; one being fixed and the other being mounted with the ability to slide on the upper frame; the bending device being designed so that, in operation, as the upper frame moves towards its bending position, the metal sheet transmits a pulling force to the sliding punch and to the sliding die which force moves them from a spaced-apart position toward a close-together position.

Abstract: A Sealed and thermally insulated tank has a tank wall on a carrier structure. The tank wall has an insulating barrier, sealed barrier and an anchoring member. The sealed barrier has a first undulating metal membrane and a second undulating metal membrane which are located at one side and the other of the anchoring member, along an assembly edge which is oriented parallel with a longitudinal direction of the anchoring member. The first and the second membrane undulate with a first series of undulations which intersect with the assembly edge Terminal undulation portions which are associated with the first series of undulations of the first membrane extend in a direction transverse to the assembly edge in the direction of the second membrane, beyond the terminal undulation portions which are associated with the first series of undulations of the second membrane.
