  • Patent number: 12031541
    Abstract: A liquefied gas unloading and deep evacuation system may more quickly, more efficiently and more completely unload liquefied gases from transport tanks, such as rail cars, into stationary storage tanks or into truck tanks. The system may utilize a two stage compressor, an electric motor, a variable frequency drive, a four way valve, a three way valve, a two way valve, a programmable logic controller based control system and pressure and temperature transmitters. The valving enables deep evacuation of the transport or supply tank to more completely empty the transport tank. The programmable logic controller and variable speed drive may be used to variably control the speed of the two stage compressor so that the system may be running as fast as possible during changes in ambient temperature and/or different stages of offloading the liquefied gases without exceeding the compressor's horsepower limit.

  • Publication number: 20200219110
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for generating a list of questions for a sales conversation. A first set of questions is provided for the sales representatative. The response to one or more of the first questions may determine the next set of questions. Once a sufficient amount of information is received in response to the questions, the system may provide a list of products to offer to the customer. Additional parameters may be provided which are based on the answers to the questions.
