... of existing lines. It is fully compatible with preservation by flushing and allows pigging in case of deposits. This paper will present an overview of the local heating technology, some preliminary designs and will then provide information on the prototype tests that are on-going. The main objectives...

... to test any possible mutual effects. In both cases, the optimized method provided a good agreement of the calibration curve with Lambert & Beer law, till metal concentrations of 5-10 ppb. Test on the bench prototype confirmed the encouraging results obtained at laboratory scale; moreover, test...

... of the first worldwide open water demonstration project of a wave energy converter connected to a refitted gas platform off the coast of Ravenna in Adriatic Sea, an open-sea facility to support research, technical testing and commercial demonstration of prototypes and offshore stand-alone renewable multi...

.... The first 3D pilot prototype with 0.60*0.30*0.01 m and a scaling rate of 1:25.000 was obtained by correlating for a real ON-SHORE reservoir with equal size to 14,000 * 7,000 * 200 m (L*W*H only of reservoir andf wells). Thanks to the good results achieved with this first attempt, we created a new complete...

... of fluid dynamic simulations of the gravity and coalescence modules, followed by laboratory scale experiments. The final step of the development phase has been the laboratory test of a full scale prototype. The efficiency of the system has been determined by measuring the oil content of the separated water...

... of this work is to propose a new 3D divulgation and dissemination tool "view & touch " that could answer to these questions as front end with stakeholders, policymakers, NG organizations and general public. The 3D prototype starting from i.e. a 3D virtual geological model is created by a 3D printer...

... tools, Trelleborg is now testing 20" LNG floating hoses prototypes to cover the requirements of the EN1474-2 standard [1], which specifies both static and dynamic tests required to demonstrate the suitability of a flexible pipe or hose for LNG transfer applications. The complete offloading system has...
