Systems and methods for dockside regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are described herein. The methods include providing LNG from a LNG carrier to a regasification vessel. The LNG may be regasified on the regasification vessel. The regasified natural gas may be discharged with a high pressure arm to a dock and delivered onshore. The regasification vessel may be moored to the dock. The LNG carrier may be moored to the regasification vessel or the dock.

An inactive gas introducing facility for a storage rack is provided in which supply of inactive gas to a container is stopped if an open state of an inspection door is detected while in a normal stop state in which a stop nullifying command is not issued and in which the supply of the inactive gas based on the immediately preceding supply pattern is continued and any changes, through manual operation, to a parameter that defines the immediately preceding supply pattern are prohibited, if an open state of an inspection door is detected while in a stop nullifying state in which the stop nullifying command is issued.

To provide a safety joint that can immediately shut off a hydrogen gas flow path at the initial stage when a plug, which is a nozzle side member, comes out of a socket, which is a filling apparatus side member, to prevent release of outgas. A safety joint including: a cylindrical nozzle side member with a flow path formed inside, a shutoff valve of the nozzle side member opens when the nozzle side member is connected to a filling apparatus side member; and the filling apparatus side member with a cylindrical shape and a flow path formed inside, the filling apparatus side member can be connected to the nozzle side member.

The invention relates to a method (300) of estimation of a probability of damage caused by sloshing of a liquid load during an operation to transfer said liquid load from a first floating structure (1) to a second floating structure (40), the first floating structure (1) and the second floating structure (40) being associated with one another during said transfer operation so that the first floating structure (1) and the second floating structure (40) are oriented with a common bearing (99). The method includes steps (307) of estimating a probability of damage to at least one tank of at least one of said first and second floating structures (1, 40) and (308) of supplying information to a user as a function of the probability of damage estimated in this way.

Systems and methods provide a self-contained sealed apparatus that captures, filters, compresses and stores methane gas produced by the decomposition of bio-degradable organic materials. The system includes a rotatable and sealable chamber with an intermittent drive unit that mixes moist bio-degradable material during an anaerobic reaction, and captures methane gas generated by anaerobic decomposition. A filter to remove impurities, a low-pressure storage tank, a compressor and a high-pressure storage tank are interconnected and controlled by a system that monitors system parameters, that may include gas flow rate, temperature, and gas volume, and controls system parameters, that may include drive unit activation, generator operation, and compressor operation.

A double-walled tank including at least one link system linking the outer and inner chambers of the tank and including a central part linked to the inner chamber and at least three blades distributed around the central part, each blade extending between a first end linked to the central part and a second end which has a head linked to the outer chamber, each blade being sufficiently flexible to be deformed elastically between its first and second ends in a direction of displacement.

A pressurized cylinder stand includes a base, a plurality of vertical supports coupled to the base, a safety plate that includes bores configured to fit over the respective plurality of vertical supports, and a plurality of nuts. The base includes a safety cap that includes a seat configured to support a pressurized cylinder that encloses a pressurized hydrocarbon fluid. Each of the plurality of vertical supports includes a threaded portion and an unthreaded portion. The safety plate includes a slot sized to receive a base of the pressurized cylinder. At least two lower nuts are configured to engage the threaded portions of respective vertical supports in contact with a bottom surface of the safety plate. At least two upper nuts are configured to engage the threaded portions of respective vertical supports in contact with a top surface of the safety plate, such that the base of the pressurized cylinder is secured within the slot of the safety plate.

Scalable greenhouse gas capture systems and methods to allow a user to off-load exhaust captured in an on-board vehicle exhaust capture device and to allow for a delivery vehicle or other transportation mechanism to obtain and transport the exhaust. The systems and methods may involve one or more exhaust pumps, each with an exhaust nozzle corresponding to a vehicle exhaust port. Upon engagement with the vehicle exhaust port, the exhaust nozzle may create an air-tight seal between the exhaust nozzle and the vehicle exhaust port. A first pipe may be configured to transport captured exhaust therethrough from the exhaust nozzle to. The captured exhaust may be at least temporarily stored in an exhaust holding tank connected to and in fluid communication with the first pipe.

A method for loading liquefied nitrogen (LIN) into a cryogenic storage tank initially containing liquid natural gas (LNG) and a vapor space above the LNG. First and second nitrogen gas streams are provided. The first nitrogen stream has a lower temperature than the second nitrogen gas stream. While the LNG is offloaded from the storage tank, the first nitrogen gas stream is injected into the vapor space. The storage tank is then purged by injecting the second nitrogen gas stream into the storage tank to thereby reduce a natural gas content of the vapor space to less than 5 mol %. After purging the storage tank, the storage tank is loaded with LIN.

The invention relates to a valve block (1) for a pressurised gas cylinder (20) comprising: an inner gas passage (2) providing fluid connection between a gas inlet opening (10) and a gas outlet opening (11); a gas monitoring system (3) arranged on the inner gas passage (2), making it possible to monitor and/or adjust the flow of gas circulating in said inner gas passage (2); a system for selecting and/or adjusting the flow of gas, comprising a movable operating member (4) which can be actuated by the user and engages with the gas monitoring system (3) in order to monitor and/or adjust the flow of gas exiting via the gas outlet opening (11); an electronic control system (7, 7, 8) making it possible to control an actuator device (5); an actuator device (5) capable of controlling the movement of a mobile mechanical member (6) in response to a control signal output by the electronic control system (7, 7, 8); and a mobile mechanical member (6) acting on the operating member (4) of the system for selecting and/or adjusting the flow of gas, in response to an actuation by the actuator device (5), such as to block or release the mobile operating member (4). The invention also relates to a gas distribution assembly comprising a gas cylinder (20) provided with a valve block (1) according to the invention, protected by a protective cover arranged around at least one portion of said valve block (1).
