Abstract:
An integrated hydrogen fueling station for fueling of vehicle tanks with hydrogen comprising an electrochemical compressor in which secondary hydrogen originating from leakage, boiling-off or venting of hydrogen-containing gas in one or more mechanical hydrogen compressors is collected and transferred to the electrochemical compressor and compressed by the electrochemical compressor, wherein the secondary hydrogen contains hydrogen and further gaseous components. A method for operating a hydrogen fueling station for fueling of vehicle tanks with hydrogen wherein secondary hydrogen originating from leakage, boiling-off or venting of hydrogen-containing gas in one or more mechanical hydrogen compressors of the fueling station operative units is collected and transferred to an electrochemical compressor and compressed in the electrochemical compressor, and wherein the secondary hydrogen contains hydrogen and further gaseous components.
Abstract:
A hydrogen pressure vessel capable of preventing hydrogen-induced cracking of a cylinder is provided. In a hydrogen pressure vessel according to one embodiment, a gap part (G) in which an inner peripheral surface of a cylinder (10) is spaced apart from an outer peripheral surface of a lid (20) is provided between a female thread part (10a) of the cylinder (10) into which the lid (20) is screwed, and a resin seal member (30), and the cylinder (10) includes a first through hole (41) for discharging gas in the gap part (G) into a relief pipe (51) and a second through hole (42) for introducing gas containing oxygen into the gap part (G) formed therein.
Abstract:
A method of installing a trough or trench for containing a cryogenic spill, includes the step of constructing multiple precast concrete sections at a first location, each section having a bottom wall and spaced apart side walls connected to and extending up from the bottom wall. Each section has end portions that enable connection to another concrete section. The method includes (at the first location), preparing multiple panels of polymeric concrete material by filling one or more molds with a slurry or liquid polymeric concrete material and after time allowing the material to cure and harden. At the first location, one or more of the panels is adhered to the bottom wall and side walls of each concrete section using an adhesive. After adhering of the panels to the concrete sections, the concrete sections are transported from the first location to a second location that is remote from the first location. At the second location, the concrete sections are connected together using connections that join one end portion of a concrete section to and end portion of another concrete section. In one embodiment, the trough or trench is placed next to a pipe rack having cryogen containing flow lines. A slab and riser arrangement preferably channel any spill to the trough or trench.
Abstract:
A high-pressure includes a liner; a composite material surrounding an outer circumferential surface of the liner; a heat-transfer sheet formed on the outer circumferential surface of the liner; and a spacer disposed between the heat-transfer sheet and the composite material. The heat-transfer sheet and the spacer have a gap therebetween.
Abstract:
A high-purity phosphorus oxychloride safety feed system improves continuity and intelligent control of operation and usage, addresses alarm reporting, takes measures when leakage of high purity phosphorus oxychloride occurs, and solves problem of on-site and remote monitoring and material liquid level monitoring during use. The feeding device is provided with: an automatic tail gas exhaust outlet, a high purity phosphorus oxychloride gas leakage detection alarm, a video surveillance camera, a low liquid level detection alarm, an LED illuminating lamp, and an observation window.
Abstract:
A high-pressure composite container having a gastight nozzle structure includes a metal nozzle formed at a side of an inlet of a plastic liner layer that defines an inner layer of the high-pressure composite container; a nozzle insert which is inserted into and attached to the metal nozzle in a direction from an inner side of the plastic liner layer to an outer side of the plastic liner layer; and a nut member fixed to an upper end portion of the nozzle insert.
Abstract:
An apparatus is configured to be positioned between a boss and a shell of a pressure vessel. The boss includes a bore therethrough, and the bore has a longitudinal axis. The apparatus includes an annular body and a gas permeable feature. The annular body includes an inner surface configured to abut the boss and an outer surface configured to abut the shell. The annular body has opposite first and second ends relative to the longitudinal axis. The gas permeable feature is provided on the inner surface and extends at least from the first end to the second end. The disclosure also describes a pressure vessel including a shell, and boss, and an apparatus positioned between the boss and the shell. A method for forming a pressure vessel includes mounting a boss on a mandrel, positioning an annular fitting about a neck of the boss, forming a liner, and forming an outer shell.
Abstract:
The present invention regards a system for transferral of at least one cryogenic fluid between two objects. At least one transfer pipe extending from the installation extends into a receiving room in the vessel, the transfer pipe being connectable with piping on the vessel through a connection in the receiving room. The receiving room is closable, the connection, and or at least a part of the construction forming the receiving room and or other elements in the receiving room are constructed to withstand eventual leakage of the cryogenic fluid and the system also provides for evacuating the receiving room for eventual spilled fluid. The invention also regards a flange for use in the system.
Abstract:
A support installed at sea in grounded or floating manner, the support including both a processor installation on its deck for processing a first liquid that is dangerous and/or corrosive, preferably liquefied natural gas (LNG), and also at least one tank for storing said first liquid, preferably an LNG tank incorporated within the hull of the support under the deck. The support includes at least one container situated outside the support and situated at least in part, and preferably completely, below the deck of the support on which said installation is supported, the container being fastened to the support, preferably in reversible manner, the deck including or supporting a first transfer mechanism suitable for transferring towards the container any leakage liquid flowing from at least a portion of the installation, in particular in the event of a leak.
