Floating off-shore hydrocarbon gas processing plant, method of deploying such floating gas processing plant, and method of producing liquefied natural

摘要

A floating off-shore hydrocarbon gas processing plant (10) is arranged on a floating structure (20) which floats on a body of water (100) above a sea bed (110). The floating structure (20) is anchored to the sea bed (110) via an anchor line (30) being attached to an anchor point (130) on the sea bed (110). A distal end (41) of a water intake hose (40) projects away from the floating structure (20) into the body of water (100) and a proximal end (42) of the water intake hose (40) is connected to the hydrocarbon gas processing plant (10), to take up a flow of water from the body of water via the distal end (41) and convey the flow of water to the floating structure (20) through the water intake hose (40) and the proximal end (42). The water intake hose (40) is mechanically connected to the anchor line (30) at multiple locations along a length of the water intake hose (40) and a length of the anchor line (30).
