    Abstract: An emergency disconnection system for a fluid loading arm includes two valves, a collar which when closed secures the valves together and which when opened allows the valves to disconnect from each other, and an actuator which includes a single rod which is movable axially over a length of travel. A first jack moves the rod over a first portion of its travel to close the two valves and a second jack moves the rod over a remaining portion of its travel to open the collar. The first and second jacks are independently controllable and positioned substantially coaxially relative to each other.

    Abstract: A marine vessel, and a system and method of using the marine vessel, to facilitate the introduction of bulk liquid commodities, such as LNG, into the established and extensive worldwide intermodal transportation system, which is based on containerized shipments. The marine vessel is a specialized vessel, of either ship or barge form, that is capable of holding a large number of ISO-sized intermodal LNG tanks and is configured so as to have at one and the same time characteristics of both a tanker vessel (e.g., a gas carrier) and a container vessel. The intermodal LNG tanks connect to a piping system of the marine vessel and are thereby interconnected in such a manner that allows the interconnected intermodal LNG tanks to behave as if they constitute a typical LNG vessel bulk liquid tank to facilitate efficient loading at a typical marine LNG terminal The containerized intermodal LNG tanks are capable of discharging liquids to a marine terminal as if in a bulk mode, or of being disconnected from the common interconnection system to allow lift-off discharge of the intermodal LNG tanks at a typical cargo container port so that the intermodal LNG tanks can enter the existing intermodal transportation system for further distribution to the end user by other marine vessels, over-the-road truck, or by rail.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for recovering viscous fluid such as asphalt, which utilizes an elongated insulated buoyant housing with an elongated heating element disposed therein. The heating element extends through the elongated housing and out at an open end thereof to heat the viscous fluid. A pump located at a second end of the elongated housing is utilized to draw the heated viscous fluid through the housing. The insulated nature of the housing concentrates the output of the heating element into the fluid within the housing and prevents heat loss.

    Abstract: The loading of crude oil into a storage tank (12) at A causes vent gas comprising a. mixture of VOC and inert gas to be vented from the tank (12) at C. The vent gas is compressed and delivered at D to a burner (32) of a boiler (34). The burner also receives, at F, a supply of oil (14) as a support fuel to provide stable combustion, the supply of oil (14) being adjusted automatically according to the Wobbe Index and flow rate of the vent gas. Steam generated in the boiler (34) from the burning of the fuels is used to heat the oil (14), to counter waxiness, or for other purposes.

    Abstract: Natural gas is produced when LNG that is contained in an insulated LNG cargo tank(s) of a non-self-propelled LNG carrier (i.e., a barge) evaporates as a result of heat leakage through the walls of the insulated cargo tank(s). The natural gas is transferred from the barge to a tugboat or a towboat that is equipped with natural gas burning engines through a flexible gas transfer assembly so that the tugboat is powered by the natural gas fuel. The pressure in the cargo tank(s) on the barge is, therefore, effectively managed to prevent or substantially reduce the buildup of pressure within the LNG cargo tank(s). The LNG can then be contained within the LNG cargo tank(s) for an appropriate period of time and can be delivered at an appropriate and acceptable equilibrium pressure and temperature.
