  • Patent number: 9815621
    Abstract: An installation for the in-port storage of liquid fuel, which is formed near a dock, is formed of at least an upper surface substantially parallel to the free surface of the sea and a frontal surface adjacent to the upper surface and partially immersed. The installation includes at least one module having a floating caisson containing a fluidtight tank that may contain liquid fuel and having a closed contour formed of an upper face, a lower face, and several lateral faces. The module is fixed to the dock by anchoring means connecting one of the lateral faces of the caisson to the frontal surface of the dock, the lower face and the lateral faces of the caisson therefore being at least partially immersed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8857240
    Abstract: The invention particularly relates to a facility for characterizing liquid-dissolved gas. In its most complete embodiment, this facility comprises a liquid collecting capsule (1) and a circuit of fluid with two branches (2, 3) including a plurality of valves (41-47), the first branch (2) making it possible to retain the liquid, and the second branch (3) making it possible to extract vacuum gases and including in particular a sealed joint section (31), a pumping facility (32), a variable volume enclosure (33), and pressure and temperature measurement means (34-37).
