Abstract: Heat treatment system and methods to decontaminate ballast fluid includes ballast tank(s) each having a temperature sensor. A heat source transfers heat to ballast fluid when circulated therethrough. Diverter valves provide selective direction of fluid flow to either the onboard heat source or external auxiliary heat source when connected. A pump moves ballast fluid between the ballast tank(s) and the heat source, recirculating ballast fluid for iterative heating. The temperature sensor provides ballast fluid temperature information in the ballast tank(s). Recirculation is stopped when ballast fluid meets predetermined ballast temperature conditions. A display provides decontamination status to an operator. A control unit monitors all sensors, valves and pumps to coordinate the performance of the heat treatment process and provide history report confirming decontamination.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for reducing greenhouse gas emission in a vessel and a vessel including the same, in which an absorbent liquid recycling unit is provided in two or more stages so that an unreacted aqueous ammonium salt solution remaining in ammonia water is removed to maintain a concentration of ammonia water at a certain level, thereby increasing a recovery rate of an absorbent liquid and preventing a deterioration in greenhouse gas absorption performance. Or in which exhaust gas is cooled by a heat exchange method, thereby preventing a decrease in a concentration of an absorbent liquid, and an absorbent liquid recycling unit is provided in two or more stages so that an unreacted aqueous ammonium salt solution remaining in ammonia water is removed, thereby increasing a recovery rate of the absorbent liquid and preventing a deterioration in greenhouse gas absorption performance.

Abstract: A distributor tray (100) for a column for contact between a gas (G) and a liquid (L) is provided wherein the distributor tray has a plurality of compartments defined on one face of the tray by secant partitions (104) which are perforated (105) to allow the flow of liquid between adjacent compartments. Each compartment includes at least one passage of the liquid through the tray or a chimney (102) projecting from the tray for the exclusive passage of the gas (G) through the tray. The shape of the chimney is identical to the shape of the compartment containing it, and the chimney has an internal volume at least equal to the volume of the compartment containing it.

Abstract: A marine vessel may be configured with a water pump and seawater treatment equipment for use in providing a marine vessel water pumping platform for pumping water into a subsea reservoir to help maintain or increase pressure to assist with producing oil and/or natural gas. The marine vessel water pumping platform allows for the pump and seawater treatment equipment to be continuously used for pumping operations as the marine vessel may be moved between subsea reservoir sites, which helps reduce maintenance costs. The water pump may be lower in minimal flow capacity than water pumps on platforms, thereby allowing for more diversity in supporting different oil and/or gas pumping in offshore drilling operations.

Abstract: A water treatment device including a first hydrocyclone and a biocidal fluid injector is described. The first hydrocyclone has an internal space, a water inlet for supplying water into the internal space, a base outlet for discharging at least a part of the water, and an apex outlet. The biocidal fluid injector is configured to inject a biocidal fluid into the internal space for eliminating organisms present in the water. The biocidal fluid injector is positioned such that a pressure within the injected biocidal fluid is lower than a head pressure of the first hydrocyclone.

Abstract: A marine water treatment dock box system is provided. The marine water treatment dock box system securely houses a water softener, a deionizer, a high-pressure washer and a selective control system for diverting water for cleaning a docked vessel, for onboard use by the vessel, and/or for high-quality potable water production. The above-mentioned components are operatively associated to outlets disposed along the exterior of the dock box body, maintaining the security and protection of the components. The water softener may be fluidly connected to an inlet to the dock box and a three-way valve for selectively controlling the softened water to one of the following: (1) a high-pressure pump for washing a vessel; (2) to the deionizing tanks for dissolving solids for a spot-free rinse; and or (3) to an outlet to fill onboard fresh water tanks.
