Abstract: A riser termination connecting a steel riser duct to an I-tube or J-tube connecting interface of a floating unit has an upper hang off portion, lower coupling adapter, steel termination conduit having an upper conduit end rigidly connected to the upper hang off portion, and lower conduit end connected to an adjacent conduit section of the riser duct. The termination conduit extends axially slidable through the coupling adapter. A cylindrical bearing seat inside the coupling adapter defines a bearing seat diameter and axis. An annular rounded bearing body has a bearing body diameter and protrudes outward from the termination conduit inside the bearing seat, the bearing body diameter being smaller than the bearing seat diameter to provide a unilateral gap and allow relative axial sliding and rotation. The termination conduit includes a variable cross-section portion having an external diameter and wall thickness tapering from the bearing body.

Abstract: An underwater storage tank having a flexible multilayer tank containing a working liquid is provided. The flexible multilayer tank has at least one internal electrical insulating layer in contact with the working fluid, at least one external electrical insulating layer in contact with sea water, and at least one intermediate electric conductive layer sealed between the at least one internal electrical insulating layer and the at least one external electrical insulating layer. At least one first electrical connection means is connected to the at least one intermediate electric conductive layer, the least one first electrical connection means being electrically connectable to an electrical grounded measurement instrument to assess physical integrity of the flexible multilayer tank.

Abstract: Intensification techniques are described for enhancing biocatalytic CO2 absorption operations, and may include the use of a rotating packed bed, a rotating disc reactor, a zig-zag reactor or other reactors that utilize process intensification. Carbonic anhydrase can be deployed in the high intensity reactor free in solution, immobilized with respect to particles that flow with the liquid, and/or immobilized to internals, such as packing, that are fixed within the high intensity reactor.
