摘要： A tank assembly with a tank for storing liquid hydrocarbon, the tank having a floor for supporting a weight of the liquid hydrocarbon. A filter is fitted to the floor of the tank. The filter is arranged to allow liquid water in the tank to drain out of the tank through the filter but substantially prevent the liquid hydrocarbon in the tank from doing so. The filter has a permeation member, such as a membrane, which is formed from a material such as graphene oxide which allows liquid water in the tank to drain out of the tank by permeating through the permeation member but substantially prevent the liquid hydrocarbon in the tank from doing so.

摘要： A dehumidifier comprises: a first channel for transporting air at a first pressure; a second channel for transporting air at a second pressure lower than the first pressure; and a graphene oxide barrier separating the first channel and the second channel. The relatively lower pressure of air in the second channel causes water vapor to be drawn out of the air in the first channel.

摘要： A sumpless valve is disclosed, which has a closure member which is rotatable between a closed position and an open position. A substantially straight or convex bottom wall is provided in the valve, to provide a substantially flat-bottomed flow path through the valve, to avoid the build-up of unwanted fluids in a sump of the valve, located below a substantially straight flow path through the valve. A retraction mechanism for retracting the closure member before rotating it away from its closed position is also disclosed.

摘要： A sensor for measuring a level of a liquid such as fuel and/or water in a tank such as a fuel tank. The sensor includes a stack of capacitors, each capacitor with one or more graphene measurement electrodes and one or more graphene reference electrodes. A measurement system is arranged to measure a capacitance of each capacitor between its measurement electrode(s) and its reference electrode(s) and thereby infer the liquid level. The graphene measurement and reference electrodes are formed in a single layer of graphene oxide by reductive etching.
