A transportation container with a stacked arrangement of containers formed from plastic, in which the containers are formed with a container bottom and a peripheral container wall, wherein the container bottom is configured so as to cover a total area of a transportation pallet or a section thereof, the peripheral container walls are formed with an upright wall and reinforcements disposed thereon, the containers are releasably assembled from container components which have two lateral container components, wherein container components disposed adjacent to each other are connected together in an interlocking and/or force-fitting manner.

A tank fill adapter device for a portable fluid tank provides a connection between an inlet collar of a tank and a supply pipe for filling the tank with a fluid that introduces an air gap into the connection. An annular mounting flange mounts against the inlet collar using a fastened connection. A pipe supporting portion protrudes upwardly from the annular mounting flange for supporting an open end of the supply pipe spaced above the inlet collar. An outer annular baffle protrudes downwardly from the annular mounting flange for being received into the tank through the inlet collar and an inner annular baffle is supported within the outer annular baffle to define a generally annular space between the outer and inner annular baffles which remains in open communication at a bottom end thereof with an interior of the tank.

A container (10) for receiving biopharmaceutical content (C) in liquid, fluid or gaseous form, includes a peripheral wall (12) that is closed on itself, at least one transfer pipe (22), at least one guiding element (30; 130), and wherein the at least one guiding element (30; 130) includes a gripping member (32; 132) and an attachment member (44; 144). The gripping member (32; 132) and the attachment member (44; 144) are structurally separate and independent of one another and the guiding element (30; 130) has reciprocal assembly elements (60; 160) allowing the structural or functional assembly of the gripping member (32; 132) with the attachment member (44; 144) to ensure the positioning of the gripping member (32; 132) close to the attachment member (44; 144) and the connecting area (46; 146) of the corresponding peripheral wall (12).

A tank container includes a frame having a front end opposite a rear end that defines a rear plane, a vessel extending between the front end and the rear end of the frame, and a discharge valve assembly. The discharge valve assembly comprises an internal bottom valve, an adaptor, and a discharge valve. The internal bottom valve is positioned within an interior volume of the vessel and the discharge valve is positioned entirely within the frame and offset at least one inch from the rear plane. The adaptor curves downwardly between the internal bottom valve and the discharge valve.

Storage tank comprising—an outer container (2) having a first closable opening (23), and—an inner bladder container (3) disposed within said outer container (2) and having a second closable opening (30), said outer container (2) and inner container (3) being sealed with respect to each other, said inner container (3) being adapted to be filled and or emptied with a liquid through said second closable opening (30), a space (8) between the outer container (2) and the inner container (3) being adapted to be filled with liquid through the first closable opening (23). The outer container (2) is rigid with at least one flexible portion incorporated in the rigid outer container and configured to flex so as to expand and contract to compensate volume variations caused by pressure and or temperature variations to which the storage tank (1) is subjected.

Described is a system for conveying wet sand. The system includes containers with a slip coating for storing wet sand. Each container includes an outlet formed in a bottom portion to facilitate removal of the wet sand from the container to a hopper. Each hopper has end walls, side walls, and an interior wall extending at an angle from the top to the bottom of the hopper to reduce an area of the outlet. A flow gate over the outlet controls discharge of the wet sand from the hopper onto a conveyor belt of a conveyor system. The hopper also includes a vibration system coupled to its exterior surface for shaking the hopper to assist in releasing sand. A discharge assembly is located at the end of the conveyor system for directing wet sand from the conveyor belt.
