Abstract
Systems and processes for recovering a condensate from a conduit. The system can include a buoy that can include a fluid swivel assembly. The system can also include a floating conduit and first and second gas transfer conduits that can be in fluid communication with the fluid swivel assembly and configured to transfer a gas discharged from a vessel storage tank to a gas pipeline. The system can also include first and second liquid transfer conduits in fluid communication with the fluid swivel assembly and configured to transfer a liquid from a liquid pipeline to the vessel storage tank. The system can also include a condensation conduit configured to transfer at least a portion of any condensate that accumulates within an internal volume of the floating conduit into a fluid flow path defined by the fluid swivel assembly, the second liquid transfer conduit, or the first liquid transfer conduit.
