Abstract: In a method for vaporizing a liquid in a heat exchanger, a liquid vaporizes in the heat exchanger to form a gas which is sent to a user via a first pipe in normal operation, wherein if the rate of change of the rate of flow of liquid sent to the exchanger exceeds a threshold, the first pipe is closed and fluid, which may be gas vaporized in the heat exchanger and/or liquid not vaporized in the exchanger, is discharged into the atmosphere or to a flare stack through a second pipe and a valve, the opening of the valve being regulated by the fluid flow rate measured in the second pipe.

Abstract: A system and method for transporting and distributing hydrogen, reducing the risk of hydrogen leakage, maintaining a record of provenance, and measuring and recording its purity level as it flows from source to destination to assure it complies with a predetermined range of values. The system includes a hydrogen delivery line made from metallic or non-metallic pipe that may be placed inside a safety pipe such that a channel is formed between an exterior of the hydrogen delivery line and an interior of the safety pipe. A sweeper gas or liquid may be injected into the channel to purge any hydrogen that might escape from the hydrogen delivery line, and one or more sensors may be used to detect and avoid the presence of an unacceptable level of hydrogen, or to stop the flow of hydrogen and remediate the problem well before a safety or environmental risk can occur.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: The invention relates to monitoring and predicting the operation of a pump (30) arranged in a tank (3) for transporting a liquid product on board a ship (1), the pump (30) having a pump-head (31) arranged in the tank (3). A tripping risk parameter of the pump (30) is estimated at least as a function of a required net positive suction head of the pump (30), of the current filling level of the tank and of a current state of movement, which is a current sea state and/or a current state of movement of the ship, and a user is provided with an indication as a function of said tripping risk parameter.
A particular application to ships for transporting a cold liquid product, more particularly to ships for transporting LNG of the type which consume the boil-off gas for their propulsion.

Abstract: This group of inventions relates to gas industry, in particular, to land storage of natural gas, and it may be used for storage, distribution and supply of natural gas, methane or associated petroleum gas, regardless of geological and geographic characteristics of the complex location. Complex of strategic land storage provides for energy efficient and safe storage, distribution and supply of natural gas, methane and/or associated petroleum gas in the adsorbed condition within a wide range of temperatures and pressures. Method for adsorptive storage of natural gas, methane in the complex for land adsorptive storage of natural gas includes offtake of natural gas from a gas source, its treatment including purification from solid inclusions and foreign admixtures, and treatment of microporous adsorbent in the high-pressure tank of the land gas adsorptive storage module, further filling of the gas storage unit with purified gas directly from the gas source through the natural gas treatment unit until the gas source pressure is achieved, and then, through the natural gas compression unit, until the gas storage pressure of 3-10 MPa is achieved.
