  • Patent number: 11156312
    Abstract: Techniques for implementing a pipeline system that includes a pipe segment and a pipe fitting. The pipe segment includes tubing, which includes an inner barrier layer that defines a pipe bore, a reinforcement layer implemented around the inner barrier layer to define a fluid conduit, and an outer barrier layer implemented around the reinforcement layer, and a tensile clip secured to the tubing such that clip legs of the tensile clip are secured around the reinforcement layer. The pipe fitting includes electrofusion material implemented to define a fitting bore and a tubing cavity in which the tubing is to be secured and a tensile hook partially embedded within the electrofusion material such that a hook bend extends into the tubing cavity, in which the hook bend matingly interlock with a loop end of the tensile clip to facilitate transferring tensile force between the reinforcement layer and the pipe fitting.

  • Patent number: 10532795
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a flexible regasification system comprises a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage vessel; a LNG vaporizer disposed on a jetty proximate the LNG storage vessel to vaporize the LNG into natural gas; and a thermal fluid source. The LNG storage vessel is coupled to the LNG vaporizer and supplies LNG to the LNG vaporizer. The thermal fluid source is coupled to the LNG vaporizer and sends heated thermal fluid to the LNG vaporizer for converting the LNG to natural gas, which converts the heated thermal fluid to a cooled thermal fluid. The cooled thermal fluid is discharged back to the thermal fluid source, comprising a closed loop. In particular embodiments, the thermal fluid storage comprises a floating vessel disposed near the jetty. In some embodiments, the cooled thermal fluid from the LNG vaporizer is first sent to a power plant or refrigeration plant.
