Abstract:
A feedstock material containing some carbon is first subjected to thermal conversion to yield a syngas blend comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas), further subjecting blend to a chemical conversion process to produce a hydrocarbon product having a carbon number of between C 1 to C 60 , additionally, the entire method may be implemented onboard a maritime vehicle system (such as a ship, barge, FPSO, tanker, moored structure, etc).
Abstract:
Funk- und fernbedientes Sicherheitssystem für maschinenbetriebene Wasserfahrzeuge mit Mann-Über-Bord Funktion und elektronischem Diebstahlschutz bestehend aus einem elektrischen Sender- und Empfängermodul. Das Sendermodul ist mit zwei Drucktastern ausgestattet, wobei der erste Drucktaster mit der „Stopp" Funktion, der zweite mit der „Start" Funktion belegt ist. Im Sendermodul ist ein Transistor eingebaut, der durch einen elektrischen Impuls die Funktion des „Stopp" Tasters übernimmt, sobald der Sender mit Wasser in Berührung kommt. Dies geschieht, indem ein Kontakt von dem Pluspol der Stromquelle an das Gehäuse des Sendemoduls gelegt wird, ebenso ein Kontakt von dem Kollektor des Transistors. Bei Wasserkontakt des Sendermoduls fließt Strom von dem Pluspol der Batterie zum Kontakt des Kollektors und dieser schließt den Kontakt zwischen seiner Basis und dem Emmitor. Das Empfängermodul besteht aus einem Empfänger für Funkfrequenzen und einem Steuergerät, welches die Signale in der gewünschten Weise umwandelt. Des Weiteren ist im Empfängermodul ein Relais mit einer „Ein- Aus" Funktion integriert.

The second gas supply line (3) is provided with a gas reservoir (3.2) having an ullage space section (3.3) and liquid phase section (3.7), and that the arrangement is provided with a first duct section (3.4) of the second gas supply line (3) connecting the liquid phase section of the cargo tank (4) and the liquid phase section of the gas reservoir (3.2), and being provided with the pump (3.1), and that the arrangement is additionally provided with a return line (3.14) connecting the liquid phase section of the reservoir (3.2) and the cargo tank (4) being provided with a control valve (3.15) for controllably returning liquid gas back into the cargo tank (4).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electric generator that is capable of producing electricity independent of whether it is filled with a fluid such as water, or a gas. Furthermore, the generator is free of traditional bearing systems and is capable of functioning in water or sea-water at large depths.
Abstract:
Propulsion apparatus (10) for an LNG-carrying ship includes two diesel electric generator sets (40) arranged to supply electrical power to two out-board electric motor units (60) for propelling and steering the ship. The diesel electric generator sets (40) are also arranged to combust boil-off vapour from a supply of LNG (22) and to thereby supply at least some of the electrical power. Each of the out-board electric motor units (60) is movable relative to the respective other unit (60) such that streams of water propelled thereby diverge or converge. This enables the boil-off vapour to be disposed of whilst propelling the ship at a speed lower than that which would result were the out-board electric motor units (60) orientated such that the streams of water propelled therefrom are substantially parallel.
Abstract:
A feedstock material containing some carbon is first subjected to thermal conversion to yield a syngas blend comprising carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas), thermal conversion is supplied heat by means of a heat exchanger, exchanger further deriving thermal energy from a nuclear powerplant installed onboard a maritime vessel. The syngas blend is then subjected to chemical conversion into a hydrocarbon product having a carbon number in the range of between C 1 to C 60 , the product is isolated, collected and stored onboard for subsequent delivery and distribution to at least one remote site.

Abstract:
The patent proposes an integrated system for the control and galvanic protection of electric energy sources for marine applications. Said system makes it possible to have a galvanic isolation through an electric power converter (PFC) The management of the power flow among the electric sources, the load and batteries, is done by means of five suitably-controlled power converters.
