Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Lagertank-Anlage für unter Druck stehende flüssige oder gasförmige Medien. Derartige Lager­tank-Anlagen sind in stationär-ortsfester Ausbildung be­kannt. Wegen ihrer ortsfesten Anordnung sind diese Tankanla­gen in Einsatzfällen vorteilhaft, bei denen für lange Zeit­räume bezüglich der anfallenden Medien keine Änderung der Mengen und deren Verteilungs- und Verladungswegen auftritt.The invention relates to a storage tank system for pressurized liquid or gaseous media. Such storage tank systems are known in stationary-stationary training. Because of their fixed arrangement, these tank systems are advantageous in applications in which there is no change in the quantities and their distribution and loading routes for a long period of time with regard to the media which occur.

Bei diesen stationären Anlagen sind die Zu- und Abführungs-­Rohrleitungen für diese Medien ebenfalls ortsfest verlegt, und für die Schiffsbetankung sind ebenfalls ortsfeste Anla­gen vorhanden.In the case of these stationary systems, the supply and discharge pipelines for these media are also installed in a stationary manner, and stationary systems are also available for the refueling of ships.

Der Erfindung liegt die Erkenntnis zugrunde, daß es jedoch Einsatzfälle für derartige Lagertank-Anlagen gibt, bei denen eine derartige stationäre Anordnung dieser Anlagen nachtei­lig ist. Dies gilt vor allem dann, wenn damit gerechnet wer­den kann, daß sich Verteilungs- und Verladungswege in kürze­ren Zeitabschnitten ändern oder sich auch örtliche Verände­rungen wegen Erschöpfung der Medien-Quellen ergeben können. Es können in gewissen Territorien auch eigentumsrechtliche Überlegungen gegen die Anordnung ortsfester Lagertank-Anla­gen sprechen. Daher wird gemäß der Erfindung eine Lagertank-­Anlage für unter Druck stehende flüssige oder gasförmige Me­dien vorgeschlagen, die aus wenigstens einem kreis- oder ovalzylindrischen oder kugelförmigen Tankbehälter besteht, der schwimmend in einem küstennahen, gegen hohen Seegang ge­schützten Gewässer ortsfest über Grund vertäut angeordnet und ein- oder beidseitig mit begehbaren Anlege-Bordwänden ausgerüstet ist. Nach weiteren Merkmalen kann der oder können die zylindrischen Tankbehälter aufrechtstehend oder liegend angeordnet sein. Vor allem ist es auch möglich, die begehbaren Anlege-Bordwände mit Fendern, Pollern und dgl. Vorrichtungen zum Anlegen und Festmachen sowie Betanken von Tankschiffen auszurüsten.The invention is based on the knowledge that there are, however, applications for such storage tank systems in which such a stationary arrangement of these systems is disadvantageous. This is especially true if it can be expected that distribution and loading routes will change in shorter periods of time or that local changes may occur due to exhaustion of the media sources. Property rights can also exist in certain territories Considerations against the arrangement of stationary storage tank systems speak. Therefore, according to the invention, a storage tank system for pressurized liquid or gaseous media is proposed, which consists of at least one circular or oval-cylindrical or spherical tank container, which is floating in a coastal near, protected against high seas and moored fixed above the ground and one - or is equipped on both sides with walk-on landing walls. According to further features, the cylindrical tank container or containers can be arranged upright or lying. Above all, it is also possible to equip the accessible landing walls with fenders, bollards and the like. Devices for mooring and mooring and refueling tankers.

Durch diese schwimmende Ausbildungsweise, bei der die Tank­behälter in die Wasseroberfläche eintauchen und je nach Fül­lungsgrad einen geringeren oder größeren Tiefgang erreichen, werden erhebliche Vorteile erzielt. Abgesehen von der Orts­veränderlichkeit ist ein erheblicher Spareffekt an techni­schem Aufwand zu erzielen. Bei bekannten Tankanlagen dieser Art, werden die Tankbehälter auf speziell für diese Aufgabe konstruierte Schiffskörper montiert, wodurch Herstell- und Wartungsaufwendungen bedingt sind, die nach der Erfindung vermieden oder erheblich vermindert werden können.This floating design, in which the tank containers are immersed in the water surface and, depending on the degree of filling, reach a greater or lesser draft, offers considerable advantages. Apart from the fact that it can be moved around, a considerable saving in technical outlay can be achieved. In known tank systems of this type, the tank containers are mounted on hulls specially designed for this task, as a result of which manufacturing and maintenance costs are incurred which can be avoided or considerably reduced according to the invention.

Eine Lagertank- und Schiffsbetankungs-Anlage nach der Erfin­dung kann in der einfachsten Ausführung aus nur einem lie­gend angeordneten zylindrischen Tankbehälter mit einer An­lege-Bordwand für ein Tankschiff bestehen. Aus Gründen einer ausreichenden Lagerkapazität sind in der Regel drei Tankbe­hälter in Parallel-Lage zueinander zusammengefaßt, wobei der mittlere Tankbehälter ein Lobetank ist, der aus zwei zylin­drischen Tankkörpern besteht, die mit ihren einander zuge­wandten Längsseiten zu einem einheitlichen Tankbehälter ver­bunden sind.The simplest version of a storage tank and ship refueling system according to the invention can consist of only one cylindrical tank container arranged in a horizontal position with a landing board for a tanker. For reasons of sufficient storage capacity, three tank containers are usually combined in parallel to each other, the middle tank container is a Lobetank, which consists of two cylindrical tank bodies, which are connected with their mutually facing longitudinal sides to form a uniform tank container.

Darüberhinaus ist es auch möglich, eine größere Zahl von Tankbehältern zu einer Lagertank- und Schiffsbetankungsanla­ge nach der Erfindung zusammenzufassen. Dabei kann die An­ordnung derart getroffen sein, daß beidseits des jeweils äußersten Tankbehälters je ein Tankschiff gleichzeitig fest­gemacht und betankt werden kann.In addition, it is also possible to combine a larger number of tank containers into a storage tank and ship fueling system according to the invention. The arrangement can be such that one tanker can be moored and refueled on both sides of the outermost tank container.

Je nach der Größe der Lagertank-Anlage, nach den örtlichen Verhältnissen und insbesondere der vorherrschenden Dünung des Gewässers und des Tidenhubs können die Verbindungen zwi­schen den einzelnen Tankbehältern gewählt werden. Dabei ist eine Verbindung möglich, bei der wenigstens zwei liegende zylindrische Tankbehälter in den Bereichen ihrer größten waagrechten Breiten und geringsten Abstände voneinander mittels mechanischer Vorrichtungen formschlüssig und gelen­kig miteinander verbunden sind. Durch diese Ausbildungsweise wird eine gelenkige Verbindung geschaffen, welche gewisse Eigenbewegungen der jeweils benachbarten Behälter gegenein­ander zuläßt, was vor allem bei einer stärkeren Dünung vor­teilhaft sein kann. Bei einem völlig ruhigen Gewässer kann nach einem weiteren Merkmal die Verbindung in der Weise ge­troffen sein, daß wenigstens zwei liegende Tankbehälter in zwei vertikal einen Abstand voneinander aufweisenden Ebenen mittels mechanischer Vorrichtungen formschlüssig und mittels Gelenken miteinander verbunden sind. Hierdurch wird ein weitgehend starrer Zusammenhalt zwischen den benachbarten Tankbehältern hergestellt, so daß die Anlage einem floßarti­gen Schwimmkörper nahekommt.Depending on the size of the storage tank system, the local conditions and in particular the prevailing swell in the water and the tidal range, the connections between the individual tank containers can be selected. A connection is possible in which at least two horizontal cylindrical tank containers are connected to one another in a form-fitting and articulated manner in the areas of their greatest horizontal widths and the smallest distances from one another by means of mechanical devices. This type of design creates an articulated connection which permits certain self-movements of the adjacent containers relative to one another, which can be advantageous particularly in the case of a greater swell. In a completely calm water, according to a further feature, the connection can be made in such a way that at least two horizontal tank containers are positively connected to one another in two vertically spaced planes by means of mechanical devices and by means of joints. This creates a largely rigid cohesion between the adjacent tank containers, so that the system comes close to a raft-like floating body.

Um ein Anlegen und Festmachen der Tankschiffe zu ermögli­chen, sind Anlege-Bordwände vorgesehen. Diese sind entweder als seitlich an die Außenhaut des benachbarten Tankbehälters angepaßte, mit einer ebenen Plattform versehene Schwimmkör­per ausgebildet und mit diesem formschlüssig gelenkig oder starr mittels mechanischer Vorrichtungen verbunden, oder sie sind seitlich starr an die Außenhaut des Tankbehälters ange­schlossen und mit einer ebenen Plattform versehen. Diese An­lege-Bordwände sind mit den notwendigen Einrichtungen zum Anlegen und Festmachen und Betanken der Tankschiffe ausge­rüstet, wie z. B. Poller, Fender, soweit erforderlich Winden und dgl. Vorrichtungen.In order to enable the tankers to be moored and moored, docking platforms are provided. These are either designed as laterally adapted to the outer skin of the adjacent tank container, provided with a flat platform, and are connected to this in an articulated or rigid manner by means of mechanical devices, or they are laterally rigidly connected to the outer skin of the tank container and provided with a flat platform. These landing walls are equipped with the necessary facilities for mooring and mooring and refueling the tankers, such as. B. bollards, fenders, if necessary winches and the like. Devices.

Nach weiteren Merkmalen der Erfindung bestehen die mechani­schen Vorrichtungen zur Verbindung der benachbarten Tankbe­hälter aus starr an der Tankbehälter-Außenhaut befestigten Abstandshaltern angebrachten, mit Bohrungen für Verbindungs­bolzen versehenen ineinandergreifenden Gabel- und Steck-Ösen.According to further features of the invention, the mechanical devices for connecting the adjacent tank containers consist of spacers rigidly attached to the outer shell of the tank container and provided with interlocking fork and plug-in eyelets provided with holes for connecting bolts.

Die Lagertank-Anlage nach der Erfindung ist besonders zur Aufnahme und zum Betanken von Schiffen mit Flüssiggas ge­eignet, welches vorzugsweise unter einem Druck von 13,5 oder 18 bar steht. Für dieses Medium wird erfindungsgemäß vorge­schlagen, bei einer Blechdicke von etwa 30 bis 50 mm, einem Durchmesser zwischen 7 und 10 m mit ring- oder rahmenartigen inneren Aussteifungen die liegenden Tankbehälter mit einer Länge zwischen 35 und 50 m zu bemessen. Bei Abmessungen innerhalb dieser Grenzen ergibt bei ausreichender Sicherheit ein optimales Verhältnis zwischen Behältervolumen, Behälter­gewicht und Herstellaufwand.The storage tank system according to the invention is particularly suitable for receiving and refueling ships with liquid gas, which is preferably under a pressure of 13.5 or 18 bar. For this medium, it is proposed according to the invention to dimension the horizontal tank containers with a length between 35 and 50 m with a sheet thickness of approximately 30 to 50 mm, a diameter between 7 and 10 m with ring-like or frame-like inner stiffeners. With dimensions within these limits and with sufficient security, there is an optimal relationship between container volume, container weight and manufacturing effort.

Die Lagertank-Anlage gem. Fig. 1 ist mit drei zylindrischen, waagrecht liegenden Tankbehältern 1 ausgestattet, die schwimmend in einem Gewässer in Ufernäher über Grund orts­fest vertäut sind.The storage tank system acc. Fig. 1 is equipped with three cylindrical, horizontally lying tank containers 1, which are moored floating in a body of water near the bank above the ground.

Mittels einer Pipeline 22 wird der Lagertank-Anlage vom Ufer aus das Flüssiggas zugeleitet. Der äußerste Tankbehälter 1 ist seitlich mit einer Anlege-Bordwand 5 versehen, an wel­cher ein mittels den Verankerungen 4 vertäutes Tankschiff 3 festgemacht ist, welches in nicht näher dargestellter Weise betankt wird.By means of a pipeline 22, the storage tank system is supplied with the liquid gas from the bank. The outermost tank container 1 is laterally provided with a landing wall 5, to which a tanker 3 moored by means of the anchors 4 is fastened, which is refueled in a manner not shown.

Die Fig. 2 und 3 zeigen einen schematischen Teil-Querschnitt durch Lagertank-Anlagen in anderen Ausbildungsweisen. Der links dargestellte Tankbehälter ist mit 1 bezeichnet. Parallel zu diesem ist der Tankbehälter 11 angeordnet, der zusammen mit dem Tankbehälter 12 als Lobetank ausgebildet ist. Mit 7 ist eine Verbindungsbrücke und mit 9 eine Ar­beitsplattform bezeichnet. An der Anlege-Bordwand 5 bzw. 6 sind Poller 10 und Fender 8 erkennbar. Mit 3 ist das Tank­schiff bezeichnet, welches in nicht näher dargestellter Weise zum Betanken festgemacht ist. Mit G ist die Eintauch­tiefe der Tankbehälter in gefülltem Zustand und mit L die Eintauchtiefe in leerem Zustand gekennzeichnet.2 and 3 show a schematic partial cross section through storage tank systems in other forms of training. The tank container shown on the left is designated by 1. In parallel to this, the tank container 11 is arranged, which, together with the tank container 12, is designed as a Lobetank. 7 is a connecting bridge and 9 a work platform. Bollards 10 and fenders 8 can be seen on the landing wall 5 or 6. 3 with the tanker is designated, which is moored in a manner not shown for refueling.

In der Ausbildungsweise der Lagertank-Anlage gem. Fig. 2 sind die benachbarten Tankbehälter 1 und 11 mittels der Vor­richtung 13 miteinander verbunden, wobei diese Verbindungen im Bereich der größten waagrechten Breiten der Behälter lie­gen. Diese Art der Anordnung der Verbindungen 13 ermöglicht infolge ihrer Gelenkigkeit Eigenbewegungen der Tankbehälter 1 und 11 um die durch diese Verbindungen verlaufende Längs­achse.In the design of the storage tank system acc. 2, the adjacent tank containers 1 and 11 are connected to one another by means of the device 13, these connections being in the region of the greatest horizontal widths of the containers. Due to their articulation, this type of arrangement of the connections 13 enables the tank containers 1 and 11 to move about the longitudinal axis running through these connections.

Demgegenüber bewirken die in Fig. 3 dargestellten Verbindun­gen wegen ihrer Anordnung in zwei Ebenen im Abstand a von­einander - siehe auch Fig. 5 - trotz ihrer gelenkigen Ge­ staltung eine statisch bestimmte Zuordnung der Tankbehälter 1 und 11 zueinander, so daß diese keine Eigenbewegungen gegeneinander ausführen können.In contrast, the connections shown in FIG. 3, because of their arrangement in two planes at a distance a from one another - see also FIG. 5 - despite their articulated ge staltung a statically determined assignment of the tank container 1 and 11 to each other, so that they can not perform their own movements against each other.

Wie aus den Fig. 2 bis 5 ersichtlich ist, sind die beiden Tankbehälter 1 und 2 im Bereich ihrer größten waagrechten Breiten und geringsten Abständen durch die Vorrichtungen 13 miteinander verbunden, die an Abstandshaltern 14 angeordnet sind. Während in den Fig. 2 und 4 wenigstens zwei in waag­rechter Längsachse hintereinander angeordnete Vorrichtungen 13 als mechanische, gelenkige Verbindungen vorgesehen sind, kennzeichnet sich die Anordnung gem. den Fig. 3 und 5 durch in zwei vertikal in einem Abstand a verlaufenden Ebenen E angeordnete Verbindungen mittels der gelenkigen Vorrichtun­gen 13. Diese sind ebenfalls an Auslegern 14 befestigt.As can be seen from FIGS. 2 to 5, the two tank containers 1 and 2 are connected to one another in the region of their greatest horizontal widths and smallest distances by the devices 13, which are arranged on spacers 14. While at least two devices 13 arranged one behind the other in the horizontal longitudinal axis are provided as mechanical, articulated connections in FIGS. 2 and 4, the arrangement according to FIG. 3 and 5 by means of articulated devices 13 arranged in two planes E extending vertically at a distance a. These are also fastened to brackets 14.

Die Fig. 6 und 7 zeigen Einzelheiten der Verbindungs-Vor­richtungen. Die an der Außenhaut der Tankbehälter angebrach­ten Abstandshalter 14 laufen in gabelförmige Ösen 16 aus, welche zwischen sich jeweils eine Steck-Öse 17 aufnehmen. Beide Ösen 16 und 17 sind mit einer Bohrung zur Aufnahme eines Bolzen 15 versehen. Der Bolzen 15 weist im Ausfüh­rungsbeispiel einen Bund 18 und ferner eine Unterlegscheibe 19 mit Splint 20 auf. Durch diese Ausbildungsweise sind die benachbarten Tankbehälter formschlüssig und sicher miteinan­der verbunden.
