Definitions

  • the present patent application relates to a method for evacuating the liquid from a vessel of a vessel which does not have pumping means, or which has at least partially damaged pumping means, and / or which requires pumping means. additional.
  • “Pump” means a pump which, immersed in the fluid to be displaced, “pushes” it into the discharge pipe; by suction pump, a pump placed above the fluid to be moved and “sucked” by a volume depressurization phenomenon between the pump and the fluid.
  • the present invention is thus particularly intended to provide a method of evacuating the liquid from a tank of a partially emerged ship, which does not have these disadvantages.
  • the present invention also relates to a technical access particularly adapted to the implementation of the method according to the invention, remarkable in that it is steerable: this swiveling character makes it possible to direct the rigid pipe in which the pump is placed, in the areas of the tank where it is desired to carry out the pumping.
  • FIG. 1 On which can be seen a tank 1 of ship, of substantially parallelepiped shape, provided on its sky, that is to say on its upper wall, a technical access 3.
  • This technical access 3 is preferably placed centrally on the sky of the tank 1, without this being for all that limiting.
  • the tank 1 is a tank for transporting liquids, such as hydrocarbons, fitted to a vessel comprising a plurality of such tanks.
  • the problem to which the present invention relates is to recover the liquid located inside the tank when the vessel does not have pumping means, or has pumping means partially or totally damaged, and / or requires additional pumping means (for example due to a degradation of the flow rate of the original pumping means as a result of their damage, or because of a lack of origin of the flow of the pumping means), and remains at least partially emerged.
  • the technical access 3 comprises a pipe section 5 of short length, surmounted by a flange 7 on which is fixed a tape 9 by a plurality of screws and nuts 11.
  • the pipe section 5 can be made of preferably stainless steel and welded to the sky of the tank 1, and the tape 9 can be made of steel or aluminum, by way of non-limiting example (plastics such as PVC could also be suitable).
  • the vessel equipped with the vessel 1 does not have pumping means, or has partially or totally damaged pumping means, it is possible to access from outside, that is to say above the level of the surface of the water, at the access technique 3, and unscrewing the tape 9 of the pipe section 5.
  • This pipe section 5 is then inserted into a rigid pipe 13 whose length is sufficient to reach substantially the bottom of the vessel 1, as can be seen in FIG. figure 4 .
  • the rigid pipe 13 may consist of a single tube of predefined length or an assembly of tubes of shorter lengths facilitating its handling and offering more flexibility over the length of the final tube.
  • This rigid pipe 13, preferably of cylindrical shape, may be formed of plastic such as PVC, or in a light metal alloy.
  • this rigid pipe 13 is strictly less than that of the pipe section 5 of the technical access 3, so as to leave a gap.
  • the sealing relationship of the pump 15 with the rigid pipe 13 or with the technical access 3 can be achieved for example by a flange 19 placed at the periphery of this pump and bearing against the inner wall of this rigid pipe or this technical access.
  • the pump 15 is also connected by one or more cables or pipes 21 to an electrical or hydraulic supply system, necessary for the operation of this pump.
  • the cables or pipes 21 have a small diameter, unlike any flexible discharge or suction of the liquid 22 from the inside of the tank 1 towards the outside thereof, thanks to the pump 15.
  • the pump 15 can be started by sending in the cable 21 the fluid (electricity or hydraulic fluid) necessary for the operation of this pump.
  • This pump and powered energy can realize its suction function, or discharge to the outside, inside the rigid pipe 13 or the hose when there is one.
  • the rigid pipe 13 directs the pump 15 and its associated discharge or suction hose when there is one, exactly where we want to. inside the tank 1, and to prevent any blockage of this pump and / or this hose in equipment likely to be inside this tank 1 such as other pipes, ladders, stairs, ribs, reinforcing elements, other pumps etc.
  • this pump 15 is connected to the outside only by a flexible suspension cable 17 and by at least one simple power supply line or in hydraulic fluid 21, allows the very rapid installation of this pump, unlike a conventional pump connected to the outside by a real discharge or suction hose, much more bulky and rigid.
  • the technical access 3 comprises several heads 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d each inclined towards the corners of the tank, as can be seen on the figure 5 : the dotted lines visible on this figure 5 indicate in this case the privileged directions that can occupy the rigid pipe 13 provided with its pump 15.
  • a plurality of technical accesses 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, arranged in each of the upper corners of the vessel 1, can be provided, in this case making it possible to position the rigid pipe 13 in the direction indicated by the visible dotted lines in this figure .
  • this swiveling character makes it possible to direct the rigid pipe in which one place the pump in the areas of the tank where it is desired to carry out the pumping.
  • a first way to achieve such a steerable technical access 3 may be to provide that the pipe section 5 is connected to the vessel 1 by a bellows 24 integral with a plate 26 adapted to be fixed on said vessel 1; such a bellows, for sealing the assembly, may for example be formed of rubber.
  • a second way of achieving such a steerable technical access 3 may be to provide that the pipe section 5 of this technical access is mounted on a plate 26 adapted to be rotatably mounted an annular plate 28 integral with said vessel 1.
  • the plate 26 is adapted to be pivotally mounted by a ball bearing on the annular plate 28.
  • the plate 26 has annular grooves 30 adapted to cooperate with screws and nuts 32 integral with said annular plate 28.
