Abstract: Station for dispensing natural gas, which comprises a source of natural gas (2) in the form of compressed gas or in the form of cooled liquid, a dispensing column (dispenser) (3) of such natural gas and feed means (4), which are hydraulically connected to the source of natural gas (2) and to the dispenser (3) in order to send the natural gas from the source to the latter. The dispenser (3) comprises at least one suction hood (100), positioned above the ground level, provided with a suction opening (101), susceptible of collecting natural gas dispersed in the environment, and with at least one expulsion opening (102) for evacuating the collected gas safely. The relevant engagement seat (30) of the gas dispensing head (5) is arranged below the suction opening (101) of the hood (100). The latter is exposed to an air flow, forced or natural, which crosses the relevant mechanical and/or electrical components controlling the gas flow to the heads (5), so as to safely evacuate possible leaks thereof.

Abstract: A system for dispensing a cryogenic fluid includes a bulk tank containing a supply of cryogenic fluid. A heating circuit includes an intermediate tank and a heating device and has an inlet in fluid communication with the bulk tank and an outlet. A bypass junction is positioned between the bulk tank and the inlet of the heating circuit. A bypass circuit has an inlet in fluid communication with the bypass junction and an outlet so that a portion of cryogenic fluid from the bulk tank flows through the heating circuit and is warmed and a portion flows through the bypass circuit. A mixing junction is in fluid communication with the outlets of the bypass circuit and the heating circuit so that warmed cryogenic fluid from the heating circuit is mixed with cryogenic fluid from the bypass circuit so that the cryogenic fluid is conditioned. A dispensing line is in fluid communication with the mixing junction so that the conditioned cryogenic fluid may be dispensed. Warmed cryogenic fluid remaining in the heating circuit after dispensing is directed to the intermediate tank and used to warm cryogenic fluid directed through the heating circuit.

Abstract: Liquid cryogen from a tank having a head space pressure P1 is vaporized with a pressure building vaporizer to gaseous cryogen and the pressure of the gaseous cryogen is built to a pressure P2. The pressurized gaseous cryogen at pressure P2 is expanded across an expander to decrease its pressure and fed to a point of use at an installation including the vaporizer at a pressure P3. P2≧2×P3. Energy from the expanded gas may be recovered in the form of mechanical energy, electrical energy.

Abstract: A liquefied gas system and method can supply gas from a liquefied gas container more efficiently by using an external stabilizing device. The liquefied gas is located under its own vapor pressure in the lower portion of the container. As the vapor is withdrawn from the container at ambient pressure, the liquid evaporates at an equivalent rate to account for the decrease in pressure. The stabilizing device surrounding the liquefied gas container efficiently transfers the ambient external heat to the liquid thus allowing more liquefied gas to be vaporized.

Abstract: Systems and methods for evacuating one or more volumes of a containment system of all non-gaseous materials. The systems and methods allow for a material to be outputted from a containment vessel in a substantially gaseous state. In particular, a discrete mass of a substantially inert gas may be utilized to evacuate one or more volumes of a containment system of all non-gaseous materials using a substantially inert gas, and such that once the evacuation process is initiated, it runs to completion without additional inputs from a user, and without the use of sensors and/or electronic components.

Abstract: A system and method for regasifying LNG using ambient air vaporizers without ambient air fog formation. The warm moist ambient air is cooled and dried using cold recovery from the cryogenic LNG stream by means of an intermediate heat transfer fluid circulated in a closed loop followed by the addition of a warm diluent air stream such that the final temperature of the exit stream of mixed air is at or above the ambient air dew point. Adjustable diluent air dampers permit an induced draft ambient vaporizer assembly.
