20140331691 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR LOADING, STORING AND OFFLOADING NATURAL GAS FROM A BARGE - A system for loading and storing CNG onboard of a barge and for unloading it therefrom comprises CNG loading facilities for loading CNG on board of the barge, CNG storage facilities for storing the loaded CNG on board of the barge at nominal storage pressure and temperature, and CNG unloading facilities for unloading CNG to a delivery point. The delivery point requires the unloaded CNG to be at delivery pressure and temperature generally different from the storage pressure and temperature. Thus, the CNG unloading facilities comprise a CNG heater for heating the to-be-unloaded CNG prior to unloading, and a lamination valve for allowing the to-be-unloaded CNG to expand from its storage pressure to the delivery pressure. A compressor may also be provided to compress CNG that would not otherwise be spontaneously delivered. | 11-13-2014 |
20140332540 | ROTATIONAL MOULDING METHOD - The present invention relates to a method of rotational moulding where a heating structure is incorporated into the mould. Further aspects of the invention relate to a mould for rotational moulding comprising a heating element. In an embodiment, the mould is a pressure vessel for transporting and storing compressed natural gas. The heating element may be incorporated into the pressure vessel, or may be placed in contact with the pressure vessel for the duration of the rotational moulding process. | 11-13-2014 |

20150096993 | PRESSURE VESSEL WITH COMPOSITE BOSS HAVING GALVANIC CORROSION PROTECTION - The present invention is directed to a pressure vessel comprising a conductive composite boss wherein the composite boss is isolated from contact with materials with different electrical potentials so as to substantially eliminate the possibility of galvanic corrosion. | 04-09-2015 |
20150102037 | SINGLE-LAYER COMPOSITE PRESSURE VESSEL - This invention is directed to a polymeric pressure vessel comprising a wall prepared by living polymerization such that the wall comprises a single layer of polymer having two sub-layers, an inner sub-layer that is not a composite and an outer layer that is. | 04-16-2015 |
20150102043 | FIRE RESISTANT PRESSURE VESSEL - The present invention relates to a fire resistant pressure vessel in which the inclusion of fire resistance does add appreciably to the overall weight of the vessel over a similar vessel that is not fire resistant. | 04-16-2015 |
20150108137 | Pressure Vessel and a Method of Loading CNG into a Pressure Vessel - A pressure vessel for storage and transportation of CNG comprises a body, which defines an internal volume in which the CNG is stored and transported. An inlet is provided through which the CNG can be loaded into the internal volume of the vessel. At the end of said inlet there is a CNG expansion section through which the CNG expands into the vessel when loaded. The pressure vessel further comprises a CNG loading appendage for injecting the CNG at a point inside the internal volume of the vessel, thereby increasing the space between the expansion point of the CNG and the walls of the vessel. | 04-23-2015 |
20150108144 | CYCLOPENTADIENE POLYMER LINER FOR PRESSURIZED FLUID TRANSPORT SYSTEMS - This invention relates to dicyclopentadiene polymer liners for systems used for the transport of fluids, in particular corrosive fluids and pressurized fluids such as compressed raw natural gas. | 04-23-2015 |
20150108145 | DRY FIBER WRAPPED PRESSURE VESSEL - This invention is directed to pressure vessels in which the strength necessary to withstand the pressure exerted by a contained fluid under intended operating pressures is provided by a dry filamentous over-wrap. | 04-23-2015 |
