    摘要: Plant and method for storing and distributing pressurized liquefied cryogenic fluid, comprising a liquefied gas source and a distribution member, comprising a first fluid inlet connected to the liquefied gas source and a second end intended to be connected to a user of the pressurized liquefied gas supplied by the distribution member, the source comprising a first liquefied gas store configured to store and supply the liquefied gas to the distribution member at a first determined pressure, the source comprising a second liquefied gas store configured to store the liquefied gas at a second determined pressure which is lower than the first pressure, the plant comprising a connecting pipe having a valve assembly connecting the first and second liquefied gas stores, the plant comprising a filling pipe having a valve assembly and having a first end connected to the second liquefied gas store and a second end intended to be connected to a mobile store for supplying liquefied gas to fill the source.

    摘要: Preloading a containment vessel with Low Vapor Pressure (LVP) liquid; partially evacuating the containment vessel to generate a vacuum in a headspace above the LVP liquid; and relieving material from a process vessel into the containment vessel during a process relief event in the process vessel. The containment vessel pressure may be equalized with ambient conditions prior to preloading the LVP liquid. The containment vessel size and quantity of LVP liquid may be determined to absorb the energy and mass of relieving fluids from the maximum anticipated relief scenario, permitting the gases to condense to liquid form to be recovered in liquid state instead of atmospherically venting or combusting the gases. The containment vessel headspace may be partially occupied with High Vapor Pressure (HVP) liquid comprising C5-C10 hydrocarbons configured to flash during the evacuation step to create and occupy a headspace, providing additional head space volume and heat rejection capacity.

    摘要: A fluid cargo handling system with a standoff system includes a floating marine platform having an elongated first platform side, an elongated second platform side and a buoyant hull with a hull bottom. A fluid cargo transfer hose is carried on a hose reel mounted on the platform. A drive system maintains the marine platform at an offset distance from another marine platform, preventing physical contact therebetween. The drive system has at least two drive devices adjacent the first platform side and at least two drive devices adjacent the second platform side, with each of the drive devices along the first side engaging a separate driveline extending from the hull bottom adjacent the first side towards the second platform side and each of the drive devices along the second side engaging a separate driveline extending from the hull bottom adjacent the second side towards the first platform side.
