Abstract: A system to maintain an inert ullage in a hydrocarbon tank. The system provides for outgassing/venting of ullage gases when a high pressure event is found within the tank. Further, when a low pressure event occurs, during fuel discharge or based on ambient conditions, a source of inert gas, such as nitrogen) supplies gas on-demand to the hydrocarbon tank via a pressure regulator (preferably along the venting system) to maintain both the pressure and inerting of the ullage. A method for maintaining the inert ullage is also provided, whereby a low pressure event triggers a supply of inert gas into the tank.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for increasing efficiency of a gas turbine and a marine structure having the gas turbine are disclosed. The marine structure includes an ambient LNG vaporizer for regasifying cryogenic LNG via heat exchange with air and the gas turbine for generating electric power. The marine structure includes a moist-air mixing chamber disposed at an upstream side of the gas turbine, a condensed-water nozzle to spray condensed water, generated from air during the heat exchange in the LNG vaporizer, into the moist-air mixing chamber; and a cold air supply pipe to supply air, cooled by the heat exchange in the LNG vaporizer, to the gas turbine via the moist-air mixing chamber. The method reduces the temperature of air supplied to the gas turbine by condensed water or cold air generated during regasification of LNG through the ambient vaporizer in the marine structure, thereby increasing the efficiency of the gas turbine.

Abstract: In the past, “compensated” salt caverns have operated with a compensating liquid, such as brine to displace a stored liquid, such as crude oil, when the stored liquid is needed on the surface. Virtually all of the stored liquid in a compensated salt cavern can be expelled from the salt cavern when it is filled with the compensating liquid. In the past, “uncompensated” salt caverns have been used to store gases, such as natural gas. Uncompensated caverns operate without any compensating liquid; instead they rely on pressure. Some of the stored gas (cushion gas) must always be left in an uncompensated salt cavern. This invention breaks with convention and uses a compensating liquid in a salt cavern to store gases which is a technique believed to be previously unknown. “Cushion gas” is not required because the compensating liquid displaces virtually all of the gas in the salt cavern.

Abstract translation: 过去，当需要储存的液体在表面上时，“补偿”的盐穴用补偿液体（例如盐水）操作以置换诸如原油的储存液体。 实际上，补偿盐穴中的所有储存液体当填充补偿液体时都可以从盐穴中排出。 过去，“未补偿”的盐穴已被用于储存气体，如天然气。 未补偿的洞穴无补偿液体; 而是依靠压力。 一些储存气体（缓冲气体）必须始终留在未补偿的盐穴中。 本发明符合惯例，并且在盐穴中使用补偿液体来储存气体，这是以前未知的技术。 不需要“缓冲气体”，因为补偿液体几乎全部置换了盐穴中的所有气体。

Abstract: A method to detect, measure or remove trace amounts of condensible vapors in compressed gases. The concentration of droplets detected, measured or removed may be as low as part per trillion. The compressed gas comprising a carrier gas and condensible vapors is discharged through a critical orifice in order to condense the vapors in the form of homogeneous droplets. The droplets are either detected, or their concentration measured or removed from the expanded carrier gas.

Abstract: A system for compressing hydrogen gas may include a compression stage with a water lubricated and sealed compressor, a gas-liquid separation stage, and a drying stage with an adsorption-type gas dryer. The system receives hydrogen gas via an inlet and discharges dry compressed hydrogen gas via an outlet. The system has an encapsulating vessel defining a cavity within which the separation stage and drying stage are located.
