Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to the afloat transportation of oil and natural gas, more particularly, relate to be used at sea storing, the harbour facilities of loading and unloading petroleum products and/or LNG Liquefied natural gas (LNG), comprise a plurality of unit that place on the seabed be arranged in a straight line or the harbour facilities of near linear so that form.
In more detail, the present invention relates to the installation and the operation of harbour facilities, be used for storing away from the neritic area of seashore and the LNG Liquefied natural gas of loading or unloading cooling, replacedly, construction is used for the storage device of LNG Liquefied natural gas by the sea or on the floating installation that berths.
Hereinafter, this address of LNG (LNG Liquefied natural gas) is used to indicate the rock gas that is cooled to liquid state usually.Usually methane is cooled to-161 degrees centigrade approximately, but the present invention also applicable to the petroleum products of other type, cooled gas for example, ethane for example, methane, propane, and butane.In addition, the present invention can be used to store loading and unloading oil and petroleum products.
Background technique
Because its lower temperature, LNG is the liquid that is difficult to storage and handles.In the 30-40 in the past, developed some and be used to handle the technology and equipment of LNG.It is stored in the spherical aluminium pot or so-called film storage tank usually.In order to shift LNG, use usually to have good thermal insulation and flexible articulated jib or flexible pipe.The very hard usually and well bending in practice of these flexible pipes.Articulated jib only moves in a plane usually, and can't stand lateral movement.What this just needed that the LNG container must be static in the loading or unloading operating process lies in the shielded harbour.
The harbour facilities that are used for LNG are considered to breakneck.Therefore, it is disadvantageous being placed near the residential belt.Meanwhile, consume the LNG of maximum flow again in densely populated residential belt.Therefore, a lot of solutions all advise the LNG storage device is placed the sea.
A kind of suggestion that proposes is that to make the marine harbour facilities that are used for LNG be floating condition, or is placed on the seabed.The Frequently Asked Questions of floating harbour facilities is that LNG occurs between two floating movable bodies in the transfer between container and the storage device.If loading is to carry out side by side, this dynamic greatly needs some equipment and Security.
A kind of alternative form is to shift LNG between the stern of two floating bodies and fore, but this compare with corresponding, known oil loading operation and be considered to more difficult, and this method greatly depends on equipment, this still rests on the drawing stage.In addition, if these containers also rotate, the reservoir vessel of LNG must assemble complicated the turning of LNG that be used under water.
In order to reduce the dynamic problem of floating body in loading process, proposed to build big, Rectangular Concrete structure in the seabed, it is as artificial harbour, ocean, and wherein continuous concrete wall will form the protection to incoming wave.The exemplary depth of seawater is a 20-30 rice.This viewpoint thinks that the macrostructure of the type will be built away from the residential belt, and simultaneously as the barrier of LNG ship in the loading and unloading operating process.
NO open source literature 126927 has been described a kind of harbour facilities, and it comprises a plurality of floating or unit of avaling, and is constructed to place on the seabed.Each unit comprises base, payload structure and the removable wave breaking element that can move as required.
US 3958426 has described a kind of harbour facilities, and it comprises a plurality of unit that place the seabed spaced reciprocally, and has therefore formed at least one parking place.These unit are equipped with backplate.The wave damping device can be installed between these unit.
But, calculate and basin test shows, if when the LNG ship appears at the windward side of rectangle harbour facilities of these types in practice, they will produce bigger mobile.This is because billow and wave will reflect from the harbour wall, and will be trapped between LNG ship and the Accommodation.In some cases, can cause forming static wave between harbour wall and LNG ship, this has increased moving of ship to a certain extent.
This problem can reduce by the lee face that ship is moved to Accommodation, but calculating and basin test show, during certain when disadvantageous especially angle produces wave and billow, if people want to obtain significant shield effectiveness, form continuous barrier Accommodation must by be built very big.This is the generation owing to known effect, and promptly wave will the focus that crooked wave meets with there will occur by certain distance crooked and after lee face in the both sides of this structure.At this focus place, in fact the height of wave will be higher than the height of incoming wave.
The big Accommodation that places the seabed as the wave barrier is therefore very expensive.It was suggested the LNG harbour facilities of the type that some are multi-form, it is the concrete structure that makes ship and wave shielding in the loading and unloading process.A kind of shape of suggestion is, for example, the load/unload of building horseshoe-shaped structure and making LNG ship portion within it carries out.This will significantly reduce dynamic characteristic, but compare with the harbour facilities of rectangle, and these harbour facilities will be expensive more.
Big concrete structure no matter they are floating or are placed on the bottom, all must be built on all very expensive harbour of its foundation of specific formation and operation.This has caused the concrete structure that builds up very expensive usually.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of marine harbour facilities (harbourplant) that are positioned at the bottom, it can be directly stores between container and harbour facilities, loading or unloading LNG, and wherein ship moves effect with simple and have cost-efficient mode and minimized.
Another object of the present invention provide a kind of flexibly and be positioned at the marine harbour facilities of LNG of bottom, it can be built by several little unit and form, wherein each unit sinks to the seabed respectively, all these unit have finally formed the harbour facilities that form parking place in a predetermined direction, replacedly, can on several different directions, form parking place.
Another object of the present invention provides a kind of harbour facilities that ripple is preferably midband frequency that wherein weaken, and for example frequency is the 8-10 wave of second, and this needs ship to operate.
And, the objective of the invention is in the so limited time, extreme weather conditions for example carry the hurricane of huge wave, and container will be difficult in this harbour and operate, and maximum wave will be by these harbour facilities.After extreme energy passed these harbour facilities, therefore these extreme environment power had significantly been reduced the role and influence of harbour facilities.
In addition, the objective of the invention is to build each unit of harbour facilities with reasonable prices and efficient, and finish in traditional construction site as much as possible, preferably by using Dry dock to finish in the shipyard.Thereby, can be minimized in the expensive work that carry out at the sea.After construction site was done final assembling, each unit was drawn to or is dragged to the mounting point, and finally descended by known technology.
Another object of the present invention is, the relative distance that the unit of formation harbour facilities can calculate in advance places on the seabed, so that make the weakening maximum effect of wave, and these unit can have definite shape, weaken effect to reach best wave, so that the LNG container has favourable moving in the load/unload operating process of harbour facilities.
According to the present invention, the unit that is configured for the harbour facilities of LNG can sink to the seabed, is removed, is moved, and is replaced, so that by using known technology to form new single structure as required.
According to the present invention, the unit that forms harbour facilities is with the predetermined spacing setting.Distance between the unit by people wish the ripple that weakens frequently and the frequency that will pass between these unit determine.This distance can be calculated by known method or by means of basin test.
Because these unit with the setting that keeps at a certain distance away, simultaneously, can obtain a kind of so favourable effect, can avoid assembling wave energy between harbour wall and ship's side.Especially, because the reflection between the vertical side standing wave will occur in continuous structure and ship's side.The end of unwanted wave energy and wave energy can slip between these unit.Because wave energy can partly be broken and partly pass between these unit in this way, thereby can obtain cancellation effect, and wave energy can reduce near the zone harbour facilities and the ship.
Equipment according to the present invention is made by suitable structural material, for example concrete, steel or aluminium, and have the required storage volumes that is used for fixing ballast, seawater and LNG.Because harbour facilities according to the present invention are by a plurality of, for example 5-7 unit made, and therefore might build each unit in traditional building site.The shape of unit is very flexible, and can meet the needs of and Building technology.Owing to be to build in traditional building site, its price also is suitable.After using known technology to install, each unit will have required weight, and this can guarantee the stability at seabed opposing environmental forces.
By regulating the distance between these unit, which part for hope weakening incoming wave frequency might realize optimization.This is to realize by the wall and the bottom reflection of incoming wave along several directions from the unit, therefore can obtain the counteracting of wave.In addition, can set up autotelic, the approximate flow model that mixes, and move, can also remove the energy of wave by reducing the corresponding of ship subsequently according to the stirring between the unit.
For bigger wavelength, for example the cycle is the 15-16 billow of second, will be very little from the wave of unit reflection, and the energy in this wave spectrum part will pass these unit.Wave with this wavelength is followed storm and hurricane usually, and ship is because this strong wind can not normal running, and can not be arranged in harbour facilities.
Because the unit has the band partial frictional power that sharp edges produced, therefore can increase the weakening of frictional force and wave.At the specific part of wave spectrum, in this way, obtain nonlinear weakening, the energy of the ship of eliminating the effects of the act.
The suitable shape of these unit be for can make the volume of unit expand below the water surface, thereby can obtain the filling of wave, so that wave breaking, and the wave that this also has contribution and reduce the harbour facilities lee face the weakening of wave.The shape of submerged structure and pattern can change according to environment and wave period to be weakened.Favourable shape is and corresponding plane of inclination, seabeach, and it has the structure of band sharp edges, and this is a kind of part hollow or the structure that is covered with the hole.
In the seabed, the distance between these unit can be determined by mounting point wave spectrum that occur and that want to weaken, so that can advantageously influence moving of LNG ship.The calculating of the possible shape of harbour facilities shows, the unit be shaped as positive square, the distance between the unit is 40m, places that 18m is dark under water, and its volume does not expand below the water surface, will weaken the wave of wavelength less than 80m.Simultaneously, calculating shows that the big wave of wavelength more than 200m will pass through with the energy loss of minimum.
Calculate and show that also by make cubical expansion below ocean surface, people can catch short wave and long wave wave simultaneously and eliminate bigger energy.
Advantageously influencing further weakening that container moves can be by for example, increases under water the volume of unit and realizes, for example, 5-10m is dark and drop to the seabed.This volume increase can be confined between these unit, and can avoid along the direction that the LNG ship berths.The volume increase can guarantee that the unit is used to resist the good basis in seabed.But, must form the inclined-plane, so that wave can not reflect to the LNG ship, and cause undesirable moving.
Part wave spectrum also can pass through, and for example introduces corresponding to the outward extending sharp edges of bilge keel to weaken.These sharp edges are introduced in the space between the unit usually, and the LNG ship can not berth there.A series of possible initiative wave weaken effects had been described in this document, for example the hollow gap in the wall, flange etc.The invention provides these initiative types that is used for LNG are incorporated into harbour facilities in dog-cheap mode.
Because harbour facilities place the unit in seabed to form by several at each interval, so the LNG ship can easily berth and operate against harbour facilities.According to the present invention,, then can avoid wave to reflect, and between ship and harbour wall, will produce disadvantageous, static wave to ship if the LNG ship is positioned at the windward side of harbour facilities.
Replacedly, according to the present invention, the lee face that the LNG ship can at anchor jaws equipment.Gu Suan a part of wave energy can be passed between these unit in advance, and might weaken a part of wave energy.In this way, can avoid forming at lee face the dangerous focus of wave, meanwhile, the wave energy on the leeward side will reduce moving of ship and it be moved favourable.
If the consideration local wave spectrum, when the distance between the unit is best, people can realize significant weakening, and meanwhile, the submerged structure of each unit can be by considering that weakening wave energy is shaped.
According to the present invention, the harbour facilities of particularly advantageous shape can placement unit, so that form several spaces of berthing, and these spaces of berthing relative to each other form several angle, for example 90 degree.Adjusting angle and setting are so that its known wave direction that is suitable for the harbour facilities installed position is possible.Therefore, can realize avoiding being subjected to the container after the wave stroke to become with ship laterally with reasonable prices and very effective mode, this can cause strong and disadvantageous rolling.By the LNG ship can being arranged so that wave attacks from the side of ship, the moving to be substantially of ship rises and falls and impulse form, and this will significantly reduce moving of ship middle part that the operation of LNG loading and unloading takes place.
According to the present invention, if people wish to protect as much as possible harbour operation itself, and ship is docked in the zone that is subjected to more protections that wave is impaired to predetermined extent, the harbour facilities that are used for LNG can take the shape of the letter U or V-arrangement as required.If the underwater portion of unit forms trap, preferably the edge is towards the direction of closing on the unit, and this will be effective especially.
The unit that constitutes harbour facilities preferably also has a plurality of steels or concrete edge, and it has contribution for the rock-steady structure that rests on the seabed.The preferred embodiment at this edge is that they are circular on horizontal plane, and are penetrated in the seabed with inverted cup.This edge will help the soil layer of besieged submarine structure, and can not corroded by the ocean trend.In addition, the edge can form according to known technology, with as preventing the harbour facilities unit since the influence of buoyancy or wave force from the suction posts of seabed buoyance lift.
Replacedly, each unit can be inserted into the seabed by known technology, replacedly is placed on the top of the base that is installed in the seabed in advance.
The invention is characterized in harbour facilities and method thereof, the characteristic by claim 1 and 12 characterizes respectively.
Alternative embodiment of the present invention characterizes by the characteristic of dependent claims 2-11 and 13 respectively.
According to the present invention, the advantage that is arranged on harbour facilities is that the wave spectrum of required part can be weakened with making unit each interval one segment distance, and the wave that can produce extreme strain on harbour facilities can pass through.Therefore, constituting the unit of harbour facilities can be more cheap and more easily build, and meanwhile, when people realized the weakening of a part of wave spectrum, operating near or the harbour facilities of harbour facilities of this ship carried out.
The present invention be advantageous in that wave especially can reflect and can be weakened effectively by broken and cancellation effect from a lot of walls, and people can avoid wave energy to be deflected, and focus appears near other position harbour facilities.
In addition, harbour facilities are manufactured into smaller units, make it have rational structure and Economy.Therefore, this structure can be competed in several workshops, therefore can make by traditional dock to a great extent.In addition, the danger of installation is also little how.

Fig. 5 is the side view that install the ocean, the wherein very close each other setting in unit.
Fig. 6 is the horizontal sectional drawing of harbour facilities, and wherein the unit is placed in the seabed, so that form the space of berthing that is used for the LNG ship that relative to each other is provided with at a certain angle.
Embodiment
Fig. 1 shows a unit 9 that comprises superstructure 4 and rely on the base 3 of ocean floor 8.
Fig. 3 shows the harbour facilities 10 that are used for LNG, it comprises a plurality of unit that are placed in ocean floor 9 of 1 with reference to the accompanying drawings, thereby formed one or more spaces of berthing, wherein the LNG ship can berth, to carry out the loading or unloading operation of LNG by means of specific load/unload means (not shown).
Some unit 9, perhaps theirs is whole, can be equipped with the backplate 6 that berths, so that might LNG ship 5 be safely moored in harbour facilities by means of the mooring arrangement (not shown).The backplate 6 that berths can be made according to known technology by known flexible material.But they needn't comprise mooring arrangement, because in the alternative embodiment, mooring arrangement can be arranged on the place away from harbour facilities itself.
The unit 9 that constitutes harbour facilities 10 forms, builds and places ocean floor 8 in such a way, thus environmental forces, and for example the negative effect of wave, wind and trend has been minimized.
Place the shape of the unit 9 in the integrated harbour facilities 10 to be suitable for the local wave spectrum of installed position, so that cause that ship in the harbour facilities 10 produces the wave energy that moves and weakens as much as possible in operating process, other wave is allowed to by harbour facilities 10 simultaneously.
Adjusting to wave can realize by unit 9 is arranged on ocean floor away from each other.Correspondingly, rips can short distance weaken, and big wave can weaken by bigger distance.Calculating shows that the distance between the unit 9 is approximately wishes that about 1/4 to 1/2 of weakened wavelength is particularly advantageous.
In order to determine to want to weaken which wave, people can be from the wave spectrum of wave height and ripple frequency form.By means of wave spectrum, for example,, a plurality of ripples and time relation can be described by measuring the maximum height of each ripple.By using statistical distribution, the effective value of described wave spectrum for example, people can determine to need to weaken the ripple frequency and the wave height of which kind of type substantially.By these effective values, it means that the mean value of the third ripple is to reach the highest (in order to measure wave height) in 20 minute cycle.Also can use the statistical distribution of other form, and, therefore not be described further because this is known to those skilled in the art.
The size of the base 3 of unit 9 can be suitable for realizing that best wave weakens.It is favourable that the top of base 3 is placed under the ocean surface, so that set up dykes and dams between the top of base 3 and ocean surface.Calculating shows, wants the wave height and the wavelength that weaken for people, unit 9 placed half place of about wave height is particularly advantageous under the ocean surface.An example like this is, if the wave height that people want to weaken is 8m, then the top of base 3 is placed that about 4m is favourable under the ocean surface 7.For reaching this distance between ocean surface 7 and the base 3, the size of base is correspondingly regulated.
The outward appearance of base 3 also has influence near the weakening of the wave the harbour facilities 10.Base 3 is favourable for square in the plane, in this example, only needs to change its height so that regulate base 3 with respect to ocean surface.But, it should be noted, also can use base with other outward appearance, and will be for a more detailed description to them in the following description.
Fig. 1 shows preferably by the aluminum spherical tank 1 that freely suspends, or is stored in LNG in the unit 9 by film storage tank 2 for example shown in Figure 2.Should be noted that these jars with reference to the accompanying drawings only are examples, and also can use the jar that can satisfy identical other type of purpose.
The base 3 of unit 9 also can form in many ways according to purpose, needs and expectation.
Fig. 3 and 4 shows the example of unit 9, and they have formed harbour facilities 10, and each unit 9 is relatively large, and has the base 3 of relatively large and big volume, and these bases 3 place next door each other.This configured and disposed by unit 9 can access as the trap of wave spectrum predetermined part or the harbour facilities 10 of wave breaker, and for example, the cycle was less than 10 seconds wave.Meanwhile, if necessary, the billow of longer cycle can slip over harbour facilities 10.In addition, the adverse effect of minimizing ocean trend is possible.
Stronger if desired weakening, unit 9 can form has a plurality of angled side walls, and close to each other the placement.If wish the interaction of increase and wave, and through this wave (not shown) of step weakening, unit 9 and base 3 can form the surface of coarse and porous, sharp-pointed edge, projection etc.
LNG ship 5 is berthed along other direction, can make stronger wave or billow come from the direction of ship's side.5 pairs of reactions from the wave of ship's side direction of LNG ship will significantly reduce rolling and impact and move, and reduce the dynamic at ship middle part.
According to the present invention, the shape that is used for the harbour facilities 10 of LNG can have multiple variation possibility, and this depends on that the behavior of ocean trend, direction, wave spectrum and the required ripple of wind weaken.In order to reduce the influence of local environmental conditions, the important parameter that is formed for the harbour facilities 10 of LNG is distance and the unit 9 indivedual settings relative to each other between the shape of base 3, the unit 9.
