A cold-box system includes: a bulk gas tank, and a plurality of cold-box compartments operationally associated with the bulk gas tank. A cold-box apparatus includes a plurality of cold-box compartments operationally associated with a bulk gas tank. In one embodiment the cold-box compartments may be spaced apart from the tank aboard a waterborne platform. The system and apparatus provide redundancy regarding power aboard ship for the bulk gas tank.

Disclosed is an apparatus for controlling a pressure vessel including a clamp that surrounds an outer peripheral surface of the pressure vessel fixed to a subject target, a driver that provides a driving force for adjusting a fastening force of the clamp according to an internal pressure of the pressure vessel, and a controller that performs a control such that rotation of the driver is prevented during an abnormal operation of the driver.

A system for storing fuel includes a support structure supporting at least one fuel tank a predetermined distance above ground. The fuel tank includes an inner tank configured to contain a gaseous fuel, an intermediate tank encompassing the inner tank and defining a first annular space therebetween, and an outer tank encompassing the intermediate tank an defining a second annular space therebetween. The first annular space is filled with a shock-absorbing resin for absorbing structural stresses, while the second annular space is filled with an insulating material providing for fire and ballistic resistance. The intermediate tank is connected to the support structure and to at least one adjacent fuel tank, and prevents the transfer of load to the inner tank.

A triple shell tank includes an inner tank, an intermediate tank covering the inner tank, and an outer tank covering the intermediate tank. The inner tank includes an inner tank side plate, an inner tank roof, and an inner tank bottom plate. The intermediate tank includes an intermediate tank side plate, an intermediate tank roof, and an intermediate tank bottom plate. The circular steps of the intermediate tank side plate include a lowermost step formed of an intermediate tank side plate piece for height adjustment having a height corresponding to a height difference between the inner tank bottom plate and the intermediate tank bottom plate, and a second step on the lowermost step formed of an intermediate tank side plate piece arranged at a same height position as an inner tank side plate piece of a lowermost step in the circular steps of the inner tank side plate.

The present invention regards a system for transferral of at least one cryogenic fluid between two objects. At least one transfer pipe extending from the installation extends into a receiving room in the vessel, the transfer pipe being connectable with piping on the vessel through a connection in the receiving room. The receiving room is closable, the connection, and or at least a part of the construction forming the receiving room and or other elements in the receiving room are constructed to withstand eventual leakage of the cryogenic fluid and the system also provides for evacuating the receiving room for eventual spilled fluid. The invention also regards a flange for use in the system.

A triple containment tank includes: a tank foundation; a triple shell including an outer tank, an intermediate tank, and an inner tank; a first anchor strap extending through a first inter-tank region and a second inter-tank region and coupling an inner tank side plate and the tank foundation; and a second anchor strap extending through the second inter-tank region and coupling an intermediate tank side plate and the tank foundation. The first anchor strap includes: a first end portion coupled to the inner tank side plate; a second end portion coupled to the tank foundation; a first intermediate portion located between the first end portion and the second end portion and coupled to an inner wall-side portion of the intermediate tank; and a second intermediate portion located between the first end portion and the second end portion and coupled to an outer wall-side portion of the intermediate tank.

A support structure is configured to hold a storage tank by being located at least underneath the storage tank. The support structure includes at least a metallic structure and at least one pad including at least concrete mixed with a powdery material, the pad being superimposed on the metallic structure.

A triple shell tank includes an inner tank, an intermediate tank covering the inner tank, and an outer tank covering the intermediate tank. The inner tank includes an inner tank side plate, an inner tank roof, and an inner tank bottom plate. The intermediate tank includes an intermediate tank side plate, an intermediate tank roof, and an intermediate tank bottom plate. The circular steps of the intermediate tank side plate include a lowermost step formed of an intermediate tank side plate piece for height adjustment having a height corresponding to a height difference between the inner tank bottom plate and the intermediate tank bottom plate, and a second step on the lowermost step formed of an intermediate tank side plate piece arranged at a same height position as an inner tank side plate piece of a lowermost step in the circular steps of the inner tank side plate.
