Definitions

  • This invention pertains to the domain of liquefied hydrocarbon gases, ammonia and petrochemical carriages with operable pumping and interim storage of the latter.
  • the tank container renders it possible to fill in and discharge the liquefied hydrocarbon gases and petrochemicals while using the available specific tank car loading racks which are equipped with two hoses for filling and discharging the liquid phase and additionally one hose for the drainage of steam and media in the gas phase in general.
  • tank-containers e.g. CN 201 180019, B65D 88/12 of 14.01.2009 and SU 1502895, FO4C 13/00 CM of 23.08.1989 allow to perform transportation of liquefied hydrocarbon gases by railroad transport, by trucks and other vehicles. But, firstly, they are not universal , i.e. can be used in docks either with top or bottom locations of a charge-discharge unit, which substantially reduces the scope of their application for intermodal (multimodal) schemes especially for trans-national traffic.
  • Said tank container renders it possible to transport liquefied hydrocarbon gas by railway as well as by motor vehicle transport and by the other means of transportation.
  • the tank filling and discharge operations through the single top stub duct take comparatively much time what accordingly restricts the usability of the container.
  • Another tank container which comes close to this state of the art has a reservoir for transportation of liquefied hydrocarbon gas by a means of transport that is equipped with a liquefied hydrocarbon gas level gauge and a liquefied hydrocarbon gas filling and discharge stub duct with a shutoff valve at the bottom of the reservoir.
  • the steam and gas phase of the liquefied hydrocarbon gas drainage branch pipe is located in the top part of the reservoir, and also the safety valve is located in the top part of the reservoir (see the Inventor's Certificate SU 1502895, F04C13/00, 23.08.1989 ).
  • this tank container offers only a low flow efficiency when carrying out the liquefied hydrocarbon gas filling and discharge operations.
  • the capacity is limited due to the existing technology of the tank container filling when connecting the filling and discharge flexible pipe.
  • valves All points of piping connection to the system, preferably including nozzles equipped with pressure relief valves, are protected by suitable internal valves.
  • the system includes three submerged wells, on the top center area of the tank, as prescibed by the US-regulations.
  • This Fluid Apparatus further comprises well near the bottom of the tank which is again recessed into the interior of the tank.
  • This bottom well allows for a true bottom outlet for the car and true gravity drainage, which is a distinct advantage in unloading liquified gases into stotage tanks.
  • Such valve arrangement is be good for safety reasons, but it does not allow the charging and discharging at existing docks, that is existing charge-discharge stations, neither in the Russian Federation nor in Western Europe.
  • valves For this purpose, the valves must be accessed from the side of the tank, either in the top region or in the bottom region. Therefore, the vessel according to US 5 211 202 could not be used for the purpose of the present invention, since the valves are all submerged into the tank.
  • the prior art containers are, firstly, of a low flow efficiency when carrying out the liquefied hydrocarbon gas filling and discharge operations which is due to the existing technology which requires one filling and discharge flexible pipe for the liquid phase and one for the steam and gas phase, and secondarily - they can be used only at the tank loading racks, which have correspondingly either only the top or only the bottom filling and discharge capacities.
  • the objective of the present invention is to make a universal type of a tankcontainer suitable for intermodal (multimodal) transportation of liquefied hydrocarbon gases, liquefied ammonia and petrochemical products by railway transport, by trucks, by sea and river vessels including trans-national traffic. Moreover, it is an objective of the invention to cut shorter the tank container filling and discharge time. A further task is it to prevent the occurrence of emergency cases and the ensuring of safety of the personnel when carrying out the filling and discharge operations.
  • a tank container for the transportation of liquefied hydrocarbon gas, ammonia and petrochemical products by a transportation means comprising: a reservoir with the liquefied hydrocarbon gas level gauge, a filling and discharge stub duct for liquefied hydrocarbon gas with shutoff valves placed in the bottom part of the reservoir, and a branch pipe for drainage of the liquefied hydrocarbon gas steam and gas phase with shutoff valves placed in the top part of the reservoir, and a safety valve located in the top part of the reservoir, and which has the characteristic features of patent claim 1.
  • the technical result achieved by this invention is an increase of productivity when carrying out the liquefied hydrocarbon gas filling into the tank, and also the discharging from the tank container on the now available tank loading racks.
  • the tank container filling and discharge operations may be carried out at any rack, regardless of the filling and discharge method applied at the tank loading rack, the tank can be filled and discharged either from the top or from the bottom and therefore adapt to the existing existing docks, that is existing charge-discharge stations in the Russian Federation and in Western Europe.
  • the required level of safety in the operation of the existing tank loading racks is being maintained.
  • tank loading racks for filling and discharging both the tank containers or railroad tank cars which are equipped with filling and discharge devices both for top or bottom filling and discharge.
  • the solution will essentially expand the sphere of application of the tank container and will allow to use the tank container for liquefied hydrocarbon gas transportation both in the CIS countries where, basically, tank loading racks are being used which are designed for the top filling and discharge, and across the countries of Europe, Asia and America, where the bottom filling and discharge method is being applied.
  • the offered solution allows to avoid the introduction of modifications of the technological workflow of the filling and discharge rack elements and also the tank loading rack design as a whole, and the claimed tank container can therefore be used for the transnational carriage.
  • this tank container for transportation purpose has the reservoir for transportation of liquefied hydrocarbon gas equipped with the liquefied hydrocarbon gas level gauge and liquefied hydrocarbon gas filling and discharge stub duct with shutoff valve in the reservoir bottom.
  • the tank container also has a steam and gas phase of the liquefied hydrocarbon gas drainage branch pipe with shutoff valve, located in the top part of the reservoir and in the top part of the reservoir a safety valve is located.
  • the said reservoir is now equipped with a second filling and discharge stub duct with shutoff valves, and a second branch pipe for the liquefied hydrocarbon gas steam and gas phase drainage with shutoff valves.
  • the filling and discharge stub ducts with shutoff valves and branch pipe for the liquefied hydrocarbon gas steam and gas phase drainage with shutoff valves are grouped into two independent blocks .
