VERZAMELEN EN TERUGWINNEN VAN DAMPEN UIT EEN AANTAL BRONNEN VAN DAMP EN VOOR HET TOEVOEREN VAN DIE DAMPEN AAN EEN CENTRALE TERUGWINHOUDER.

摘要

A vapor recovery system especially useful for collecting the evolved vapors from crude oil or other volatile liquids being transferred between floating tankers and a storage container. A generally U-shaped frame is pivotably mounted to a support at each end of the frame. The frame carries a pair of conduit members having a plurality of openings distributed along the length thereof. Flexible hoses are connected between each of the openings in the conduit members and a corresponding vent in the tankers. A winch and cable arrangement is used to lower the frame into operating position and to raise the frame into a stowed position at the end of a loading period. The ends of the conduit members are each connected to a vapor storage container through a swivel joint.
