Abstract:
A device in the form of a pressure vessel for storing or transporting a fuel at a pressure in excess of 30 bar, wherein the pressure vessel has either one or more composite nozzle integrated in the vessel structure or a lower weight per gas capacity ratio than both approved type 1 pressure vessels of an equivalent size and approved type 2 pressure vessels of an equivalent size.
Abstract:
A ship comprising a plurality of pressure vessels (17) for the transportation and distribution of CNG, the CNG being transported at storage pressures in excess of 200 bar, the ship comprising a CNG powered electrical generator (19), the generator being connected to extract its fuel requirements from one or more of the plurality of pressure vessels.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pressure vessel for containing or transporting pressurized gas. More particularly it relates to such vessels for containing or transporting compressed natural gas. The present invention also relates to a method of storing or transporting gas onshore or offshore. Moreover, the present invention relates to a vehicle for transporting gas, in particular compressed natural gas.
Abstract:
A system for loading and storing CNG onboard of a ship and for unloading it therefrom comprises CNG loading facilities for loading CNG on board of the ship, CNG storage facilities for storing the loaded CNG on board of the ship at nominal storage pressure and temperature, and CNG unloading facilities for unloading CNG to a delivery point. The delivery point requires the unloaded CNG to be at delivery pressure and temperature generally different from the storage pressure and temperature. Thus, the CNG unloading facilities comprise a CNG heater for heating the to-be-unloaded CNG prior to unloading, and a lamination valve for allowing the to-be-unloaded CNG to expand from its storage pressure to the delivery pressure. A compressor may also be provided to compress CNG that would not otherwise be spontaneously delivered.
Abstract:
This invention relates to dicyclopentadiene polymer liners for systems used for the transport of fluids, in particular corrosive fluids and pressurized fluids such as compressed raw natural gas.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a pressure vessel having a one-piece polymeric composite with a weldable metal fitting such that the pressure vessel can be coupled to a source of compressed fluid by a welded connection.
Abstract:
A buoy system for loading or offloading CNG comprising a buoy at or near the water's surface and a subsea piping manifold at or near the seabed, wherein a riser connecting the buoy to the subsea piping manifold comprises a composite or hybrid pipe along at least a portion of its length.
Abstract:
An integrated dual-fuel feed circuit system for converted marine engines (80), using CNG gas extracted from the containers (21) together with also the residual part called "heel", said gas being conveyed inside a treatment and conditioning unit (10) of the skid-mounted type and being rendered utilisable as fuel. A skid mounted type product is one that is delivered off the shelf, ready to go, usually on skids, so that it can be sited on the workfloor/deck and pushed into its final position on the skids (or manipulated thereto with a forklift).
