ROV retrievable sea floor pump

A subsea pumping assembly locates on a seafloor for pumping well fluid from subsea wells to the level. The pumping assembly has a tubular outer housing that is at least partially embedded in the seafloor. A tubular primary housing locates in the outer housing and has a lower end with a receptacle. An annular space surrounds the primary housing within the outer housing for delivering fluid to a receptacle at the lower end of the primary housing. A capsule is lowered in and retrieved from the primary housing. The capsule sealingly engages the receptacle for receiving well fluid from the annular space. A submersible pump is located inside the capsule. The pump has an intake that receives well fluid and a discharge that discharges the well fluid exterior of this capsule. The capsule has a valve in its inlet that when closed prevents leakage of well fluid from the capsule. The capsule may be retrieved through open sea without a riser.

Environment-friendly marine fuel

For the shipping industry, these fuels provide solutions to long outstanding technical problems that heretofore hindered supply of low sulfur marine fuels in quantities needed to meet worldwide sulfur reduction goals. Marine shipping use of high sulfur bunker oils is reported as largest source of world-wide transportation SOx emissions. When ships on the open seas burn cheap low grade heavy bunker oils high in sulfur, nitrogen and metals, the SOx, NOx, and metal oxides go to the environment. This invention converts essentially all of each barrel of crude feed to a single ultraclean fuel versus conventional refining where crude feed is cut into many pieces, and each piece is sent down a separate market path meeting various different product specifications. When in port, ships can use these fuels to generate and sell electricity to land based electrical grids to offset fuel cost in an environment-friendly manner.

The light combined hanging box comprises a baseplate, four wall bodies, an outrigger, and lateral stable support beams which are connected between the outrigger and the wall bodies; wherein the four wall bodies are connected by a support frame; a lifting lug is arranged at the upper end face of outrigger; a jack placing beam is arranged under the outrigger; the outrigger is connected with the baseplate by a supporting column; a jack is arranged between the outrigger and the jack placing beam; the lower end of the jack placing beam is connected with the top end of a steel casing. The light combined hanging box has the following advantages: 1, the bearing abilities of bamboo plywood and bottom sealing concrete are fully used under a condition that a poor sea state of open seas is overcome, the turning of the baseplate steels is effectively realized, and the steel consumption is greatly reduced; 2, the structure is light; for the hanging box of the same specification, the lifting weight of the combined baseplate hanging box is similar to the self weight of a traditional steel baseplate hanging box, so that relative to the concrete prefabricated baseplate steel hanging box, the rated load weight and the lifting difficulty of a floating crane are effectively reduced.
