Method for determining pipeline service life

Method for determining pipeline service life

Method consists in the quantitative assessment of pipeline damageability as an operating time function.

Gas pressure reducer (versions)

Gas pressure reducer (versions)

Present invention proposes a compact and strong gas pressure reducer to be used with a gas supply system; with that, one of the gas pressure reducer shapes is adapted to be fixed on a bottle. The gas pressure reducer includes a housing forming the front section and opposite side sections, the first gas pressure indicator fixed on lower end of the front section of the housing and the second gas pressure indicator fixed on upper end of the front section of the housing. The first gas pressure indicator and the second gas pressure indicator are installed vertically one above another. A pressure adjustment handle is fixed on one of the side sections of the housing and located horizontally relative to longitudinal axis of the compressed gas bottle.

Device for natural gas delivery

Device for natural gas delivery

Device contains trunk pipeline, means for delivery of pre-treated gas under pressure and means for additional influence on stream of transported gas which are distributed at pipeline sections. Gas hydrate and water pulp with content of gas hydrate in transported gas up to 50% of its volume is used as pre-treated gas; at that particle of gas hydrate are equal to 3-5 mm. Pipeline has functions to support thermodynamic modes excluding decomposition of gas hydrate. Along the pipeline length there are distributed heating units containing inductors capable to heat pipeline perimetre up to the temperature that ensures heating of stream of gas hydrate and water pulp in its surface layer.

Shear-resistant ledge of high-pressure vessel and shell interface element

Shear-resistant ledge of high-pressure vessel and shell interface element

High-pressure vessel comprises composite shell, metallic ledge making the channel in said shell and including the neck and interface element. Said interface element is arranged between composite shell and said ledge. Note here that said interface element is not connected with said composite shell nor with said ledge. This allows displacement between interface element and composite shell and between interface element and ledge. Note also that interface element comprises neck abutting on ledge neck. Note that interface element comprises material selected from the group consisting of polymer, elastomer and thermoplast with Young's modulus larger than 250 psi and smaller than 10 millions of psi.

Method for production, storage and decomposition of natural gas hydrates

Method for production, storage and decomposition of natural gas hydrates

Method includes preliminary filling of a ship by ice-water mixture. Natural gas hydrates (NGH) are produced at the ship by pressure pumping of natural gas to it and further gas bubbling through ice-water mixture with simultaneous pumping of the above mixture to it and vibrating at acoustic frequency until NGH fill the whole ship volume. Thereafter pumping of gas and cryohydric mixture is stopped; NGH are stored at the ship at permanent temperature and pressure. In order to decompose NGH into water and gas pressure is decreased in the upper part of the ship by gas extraction from it and/or ship lifting to decrease hydrostatic pressure in it. When gas extraction is completed the ship is lowered to the initial depth and ice-water and cryohydric mixture is stored at the ship till next filling by NGH.

Charger for hydrogen accumulators based on high passivation metal (aluminium, titanium, magnesium) hydride

Charger for hydrogen accumulators based on high passivation metal (aluminium, titanium, magnesium) hydride

Charger for hydrogen accumulators based on a high passivation metal (aluminium, titanium, magnesium) hydride consists of a stabilised electric current source (1), conductors (2), an electrolysis cell (3) and hydrogen accumulators (4) based on aluminium (titanium or magnesium) hydride (5). The electrolysis cell (3) holds an electrolyte (6) of carbonic acid H2CO3 in distilled water, which completely covers two separate accumulators (4) without external housings with free penetration of the electrolyte (6) into the structure of the accumulator (4) from the metal hydride (5). One accumulator (4) is connected to the cathode (7) and the other accumulator (8) is connected to the anode. On the cover (10) of the charger there is a vertical tube (11) with a valve (12) for releasing excess pressure created by electrolysis products.

Tank with reinforced corrugated membrane

Tank with reinforced corrugated membrane

Sealed tank has one wall including sealed membrane designed to get in contact with tank contents and flat support abutting on said membrane. Said membrane includes at least one corrugated metal sheet 1, in fact, of rectangular shape. Said sheet has first row of mutually parallel crimps 2, second row of mutually parallel crimps 3 running across those of the first row. Corrugated metal sheet contact with flat support at a distance from the crimps. Said tank has reinforcing element 5 arranged under the first row crimp between the membrane and support. Note here that the length of reinforcing element corresponds to the spacing between crimps of second row.
