An apparatus to refuel a vessel with cryo-compressed hydrogen is disclosed herein. The apparatus includes a refueler controller configured to defuel the vessel prior to a refuel process based on a pressure of the vessel; fill a mixing tank with at least the cryo-compressed hydrogen based on the pressure of the vessel and a pressure of the mixing tank, wherein the mixing tank is connected upstream of the vessel and is structured to include the cryo-compressed hydrogen; initiate the refuel process of the vessel; adjust a temperature of the mixing tank in response to a temperature of the vessel not satisfying a target temperature of the vessel during the refuel process, wherein the temperature of the mixing tank is to be adjusted based on an increase or a decrease of flow of supercritical hydrogen; and end the refuel process in response to the pressure of the vessel satisfying a target pressure of the vessel.

A cryogen storage vessel at an installation is filled with liquid cryogen from a liquid cryogen storage tank that has a pressure lower than that of the vessel. After headspaces of the vessel and tank are placed in fluid communication with another via a gas transfer vessel and are pressure-balanced, a pump in a liquid transfer line connected between the tank and the vessel is operated to transfer amounts of liquid cryogen from the tank to the vessel via the liquid transfer line and pump as amounts of gaseous cryogen are transferred, through displacement by the pumped cryogenic liquid, from the vessel to the tank.

Example integrated cryogenic hydrogen tank systems and methods for operating the same are disclosed herein. An example system comprises a first cryogenic tank coupled to a second cryogenic tank via a liquid hydrogen (LH2) transfer flowline and a gaseous hydrogen (GH2) transfer flowline, the LH2 transfer flowline and the GH2 transfer flowline to maintain a fuel level and a vapor pressure across the system, the fuel level corresponding to a cryogenic liquid; an inlet port connected to one of the first cryogenic tank or the second cryogenic tank; an LH2 extraction flowline connected to at least one of the first or second cryogenic tanks to supply the cryogenic liquid to a fuel management system; and a pressure safety system coupled to at least one of the first or second cryogenic tanks via a GH2 extraction flowline.

Embodiments of the disclosure may include a dispenser for dispensing a liquid. The dispenser may include a measurement chamber configured to receive the liquid, a temperature probe positioned within the measurement chamber, and a capacitance probe positioned within the measurement chamber. The capacitance probe may house the temperature probe. The dispenser may also include a first conduit fluidly coupled to the measurement chamber and configured to deliver the liquid out of the dispenser.

A sealed and thermally insulating tank wherein the distance between two adjacent corrugations of the corrugated metal sheets of the sealing membrane is equal to a predetermined corrugation interval io, the sealing membrane comprising, around a through-element: two notched rectangular metal plates 3io wide in the first direction and 7io long in the second direction, which are symmetrical to one another, each notched rectangular metal plate having three outer edges disposed in line with a plurality of anchor plates and welded onto the first plurality of anchor plates and an inner edge having a notch formed to avoid cutting a square window through which the through-element passes, and two metal retrofit plates disposed between the non-notched portions of the inner edges of the two notched rectangular metal plates.

The invention relates to a tank (71) for storing a liquefied gas, wherein the tank (71) includes peripheral walls (1), the peripheral walls (1) including a sealing membrane and at least one thermal insulation barrier, wherein the sealing membrane includes corrugated metal plates comprising a first series of parallel corrugations, extending along a direction x and a second series of parallel corrugations extending along a direction y, the direction x being a direction of greater slope, wherein the peripheral walls (1) comprise filling elements with pressure loss, which are disposed in the corrugations of the first series of corrugations so as to form a belt (16) of filling elements extending all round the tank (71), the belt being formed of at least one obstruction part (17) and of at least one discontinuation part (18), the belt including at most one discontinuation part (18) per peripheral wall (1).

Disclosed herein are a pump tower installation structure of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank and a manufacturing method thereof. The pump tower installation structure of the LNG storage tank includes an adaptor disposed at a predetermined area of an opening portion formed at an inner hull disposed on an upper side of the LNG storage tank, and a cover having through-holes corresponding to pipes of the pump tower installed at the storage tank, and disposed at a remaining area of the opening portion to be connected with the adaptor.

A sealed and thermally insulating tank intended for the storage of a fluid, the tank having a secondary insulating barrier having juxtaposed insulating panels; and a primary insulating barrier having insulating panels that are each arranged straddling at least four secondary insulating panels and anchored to the latter. The sealed tank is equipped with a through-element passing through a specific zone of the wall. In the specific zone of the wall, the longitudinal directions of the primary panels are perpendicular to the longitudinal directions of the secondary insulating panels. The through-element passes successively through an opening made in one of the secondary insulating panels and an opening made in one of the primary insulating panels.

An LNG production plant positioned at a production location adjacent to a body of water is described. The LNG production plant includes a plurality of spaced-apart facilities including a first facility and a second facility, each facility provided with plant equipment related to a pre-determined function associated with the production of LNG, where the first facility is an onshore facility and the second facility is an integrated storage/offloading facility arranged on a gravity-based structure having a base that rests on the seabed at a selected location within the body of water.

An arrangement comprising at least one liquefaction plant for liquefying a gaseous medium to produce a liquefied medium; and at least one storage tank for storing the liquefied medium. A first transfer line is provided which is connected between the liquefaction plant and the storage tank, for transferring liquefied medium from the liquefaction plant into the storage tank. A second transfer line is connected between the liquefaction plant and the storage tank, for transferring gaseous medium from the storage tank into the liquefaction plant. The second transfer line, which used for transferring medium from the storage tank into the liquefaction plant, is arranged so that it is routed at least partially through the area of the storage tank in which the liquefied medium is stored in use.
