LOADING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE THEREOF

A system is provided for loading one or more transport tank. The system comprises one or more load lines for connecting between on-site storage tanks or vessels and the transport tanks; one or more vapour return lines for connecting between the transport tanks and an on-site flare or downstream units; an oxygen deficient medium source; one or more oxygen deficient medium blend supply lines connectable to each of the vapour return lines; a HMI/PLC for automation and control of the operations of the system; and a control panel in communication with the HMI/PLC for starting and stopping operation of the system. Gases displaced from the transport tanks during loading can be sent directly to flare or downstream units. A method is provided for loading a fluid from one or more on-site storage tanks or vessels to one or more transportation tanks in which gases displaced from the transport tank during loading are sent directly to flare or downstream units; and the method is automatically monitored and controlled via an HMI/PLC.

Transformable cargo containers

Transformable cargo containers for use with ground and air transportation vehicles are presented herein. A cargo container includes a main container body defining a storage chamber. The cargo container also includes a transformable assembly coupled to the main container body and positioned at an exterior of the main container body. The transformable assembly includes one or more supplemental containers and is movable between an aircraft configuration and a ground configuration. Based on the transformable assembly being in the aircraft configuration, the transformable cargo container has a non-rectangular cross-sectional area and is configured to occupy a partially-circular cross-sectional storage area of a fuselage of an aircraft. And based on the transformable assembly being in the ground configuration, the transformable cargo container is configured to occupy a rectangular cross-sectional storage area on a ground transportation vehicle.

STRUCTURAL MODULES FOR LAYOUT OF MODULAR POWER PLANTS
20180251292 · 2018-09-06 · ·

Structural modules for layout of modular power plants are disclosed. The structural modules comprise a substation module and a power house module, basically formed by platforms having stringers and crossbars designed for the mounting of containment sheets. Both modules include interconnections including, for example, projecting tabs for the mechanical mounting of fixation elements enabling the connection between the modules and the mounting of columns, crossbars and lifting frame so as to form a structural skeleton suitable to contain the canopies, hinged doors and sliding doors and other mechanical structures making up the spatial areas designed for the installation of various equipment, such as a group of generators, fuel tanks and tanks for containment of liquids, motors, busbars. The substation module forms a support base whose stringers and crossbars are lined with containment sheets which, in turn, are secured by welds.
