Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of liquid fuel storage, such as liquid natural gas.
  • the invention relates to a port storage facility for liquid fuel.
  • the object of the invention is in particular to solve at least partly the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • an objective of at least one embodiment of the invention is to provide an installation that would allow refueling liquid fuel for ships without increasing the number of stops that they must make.
  • Another objective of at least one embodiment is to provide such an installation whose dock size is limited or eliminated and whose implementation requires little or no modifications.
  • Yet another object of at least one embodiment is to provide a facility that is simple and inexpensive to implement.
  • the module is intended to be fixed to the dock and has anchoring means for connecting one of the lateral faces of the box to the front surface of the platform, the lower face and the side faces of the box then being at least partly immersed.
  • the invention proposes a new and inventive approach that makes it possible to solve at least in part the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • the proposed solution makes it possible to provide an installation that offers a possibility of refueling liquid fuel for the ships without increasing the number of stops that they must make. Indeed, the ships can refuel and load / unload at the same time their goods as they are docked.
  • the footprint is limited by the fact that the module is not placed or fixed on the upper surface of the dock but on the front surface.
  • the invention proves to be simple and inexpensive to implement because it does not require modifications of the infrastructures present at the wharf or the ship but simply the implementation of means for fixing the module.
  • the upper face of the box is formed substantially in the extension of the upper surface of the wharf.
  • the installation not only makes it possible not to encroach on the dock and thus on the mooring area, but it also makes it possible to widen this mooring area by providing an enlarged area.
  • the lower face of the box rests on posts fixed to the bottom of the sea.
  • these posts are hollow.
  • a space is provided between the box and the tank of the module.
  • Such a space makes it possible to further confine the tank containing the liquid fuel away from the edges of the module.
  • the module may include compartments arranged in this space.
  • the box has a substantially parallelepipedic outline.
  • This contour thus makes it possible to insert the module in a relatively easy manner in the environment in which it is supposed to evolve, namely in support against the platforms. In addition, a juxtaposition of modules along a dock is facilitated.
  • this box can extend over the entire length of the wharf, forming a new wharf surface along the wharf.
  • the box has edges connecting the side faces, upper and lower, and these edges have a rounded profile.
  • the box is made of concrete.
  • the module is removably attached to the dock.
  • the installation comprises a module 1 which is provided near a platform 2 for loading and unloading.
  • the platform 2 illustrated here is formed of an upper surface 21 substantially parallel to the free surface of the sea 9 and a front surface 22 adjacent to the upper surface 22 and partially immersed.
  • This pier 2 is a classic harbor dock that can be found in most seaports.
  • the module 1 consists of a floating box 10 containing a sealed tank 11 which can be filled with liquid fuel, which in this example is liquefied natural gas (otherwise known as LNG).
  • the casing 10 has a closed substantially parallelepipedal contour formed of an upper face 100, a lower face 101 and four lateral faces 102 (two lateral faces are visible in this sectional view). Edges 103 each having a rounded profile connect the upper faces 100, lower 101 with the four lateral faces 102 of the box 10. In this way, a ship 8 arriving close to the module 1 has, in the event of an impact with this module 1, limited risk of damage hull because the module has no "aggressive surface".
  • the casing 10 has, in this example, a length of 50 meters for a width of 10 meters and a height of 7 meters.
  • the edges may not be rounded but may have another shape, such as a right-angled edge or a polygonal edge.
  • the box 10 is made of marine concrete (for example PM-ES class cement). This allows the consequences of the force due to the mass of the module 10 to be limited by the reverse thrust made by the sea.
  • the box may be made of other materials such as 'stainless steel.
  • the tank 11 is made of a waterproof material and preferably adiabatic so that the liquefied natural gas is thermally insulated. In this example, it presents a filling capacity of 1500 cubic meters.
  • Module 1 is therefore autonomous and does not require the addition of additional means on the platform, except a power source to power the module, which remains compatible with the objectives of the invention because such a source power is easily integrated at the dock.
  • a power source to power the module
  • This module may also include refueling means, such as a refueling arm 81, so that ships (which may be ferries or LNG carriers) docked can refuel in LNG when they are docked. It can also be provided in other embodiments, that this module does not include refueling means but simply means for coupling to independent refueling means.
  • the module 1 is fixed to the platform 2 by anchoring means 3 (here two anchoring means 3) which connect the front surface of the platform 22 with the lateral face 102 of the box 10 which is in position. With regard to the front surface 22.
  • anchoring means 3 here two anchoring means 3
  • the module 1 is fixed, it is at least partially immersed, that is to say that the lower face 101 is completely immersed while the side faces 102 are partially immersed in this example .
  • the lower face 101 of the module 1 rests on concrete posts 4 fixed to the bottom of the sea.
  • the posts 4 are integral with the module 1 and are hollow (tubes).
  • the posts 4 further comprise means (valves, pipes ...) for creating a vacuum in the hollow portion of the post 4 with the aid of a vacuum pump.
  • the posts 4 can then be full and in other material than concrete (steel ).
  • the module 1 is placed so that the upper face 100 of the box 10 is in the extension of the upper surface 21 of the platform 2.
  • the module 1 forms a sort of extension of the platform 2.
  • the module 1 may comprise junction means between the upper face 100 and the upper surface 21 so that these two surfaces form a continuous surface extending from the platform 2 to the module 1.
  • the joining means can thus include joints and rigid plates (steel or concrete for example) to extend the platform 2 to module 1 continuously, so that people or vehicles can flow from platform 2 to module 1 without hindrance.
  • modules it is possible for several modules to be aligned on the bottom of the front surface of a platform.
  • a second embodiment such as that illustrated in figure 2 , in which are implemented four modules 1 which are placed in succession, the These four modules represent, in this example, a capacity of approximately 6000 cubic meters of LNG over a total length of approximately 200 meters.
  • these four modules are interconnected by lines 13 which allows to harmonize the amount of liquid fuel contained in each module and thus form a single "entity" for storing liquid fuel.
  • the modules are preferably manufactured outside the port and, thanks to their buoyancy, are towed to their final anchoring point.
  • the work in the port is limited to the construction of the posts 4 and the fixing of the module on the dock.
  • the operation is also simplified when the posts 4 are integral with the module 1 as soon as they are manufactured.
  • the module and more particularly the box, would have an outline whose profile is not parallelepipedal but adapted to the constraints of the port or the LNG tanks.
  • an embodiment can be provided in which the modules are not placed between the dock and the ship but opposite the ship, that is to say on a front surface opposite to another facing front surface. of the ship to reload.
  • the refueling arm would also reload the ship with liquid fuel.
