  • Patent number: 11873062
    Abstract: The structure comprises a hull extending longitudinally along a longitudinal hull axis, a mooring equipment, comprising a first group of mooring lines connected to an anchor on the bottom of the body of water, the mooring lines of the first group protruding laterally beyond a first side of the hull, opposite the second side of the hull. The mooring equipment comprises a second group of mooring lines protruding laterally beyond the second side, and connected to an anchor located away from the second side on the bottom of the body of water. The mooring lines of the first group are connected on the first side of the hull, the space facing a second lateral wall of the hull being free of mooring lines.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8846999
    Abstract: A method for treating a nitric aqueous liquid effluent containing nitrates of metals or metalloids, comprising a step for calcination of the effluent in order to convert the nitrates of metals or metalloids into oxides of said metals or metalloids, at least one compound selected from the nitrates of metals or metalloids and the other compounds of the effluent leading upon calcination to a tacky oxide, and a dilution adjuvant comprising at least one nitrate of metal or metalloid leading upon calcination to a non-tacky oxide being added to the effluent prior to the calcination step in order to give a mixture of effluent and of dilution adjuvant.
