Abstract
A pressurized gaseous and liquified hydrocarbon feedstock storage system method. The system includes a plurality of underground circuits or sections having parallel pipes joined together by radial ends arranged in various configurations to minimize plot space and maximize the amount of pressurized gaseous fuel stored.
Claims5
A liquified feedstock storage system positioned between and in fluid communication with a supplying feedstock source and an end-user industrial facility, said system comprising:
- a plurality of circuits, each of said circuits having a plurality of parallel pipes wherein parts of said adjacent pipes are joined together by radial ends to form a contiguous elongated chamber, wherein liquefied feedstock is stored in each of said plurality of circuits;
- each of said plurality of circuits having at least an input valve and an output valve;
- a meter for each of said plurality of circuits that monitors said liquified feedstock from said source stored in each of said plurality of circuits;
- a gas compressor and a gas compressor aftercooler;
- an internally movable bi-directional piston assembly separating said liquified feedstock and a compressible gaseous element;
- wherein each of said plurality of circuits includes a pipeline inspection and cleaning pig, a pipeline inspection and cleaning pig launcher assembly and a receiver assembly.
