A system and method for delivering volatile corrosion inhibitor (VCI) for protecting against external corrosion to the bottom, soil-side, surface of a storage tank is disclosed. The VCI delivery system can include a transport material buried underneath the tank and a carrier structure for containing the transport material. VCI can be supplied to the transport material from an external VCI storage tank and the supply regulated by a control valve. The transport material is configured to adaptively and controllably release VCI into the soil in response an external stimulus. The transport material can passively adjust the VCI release rate as a function of a stimulus including pH or soil potential. Additionally, a control system can monitor soil conditions and generate the stimulus that triggers the release of the VCI. Also disclosed are systems and methods for deploying the VCI delivery system under the tank using horizontal drilling techniques.

A container assembly configured for loading into/onto a Unit Load Device (ULD) generally includes a first container, second container, and a base support member having a wedge abutment assembly. Rearward sides of the first and second containers include a securing catchment assembly for drawing, mating, and securing the rearward sides of the first and second containers to one another. Frontward sides of the first and second containers each include a plurality of female/male fastening assemblies that complementarily mate and draw the frontward sides of the first and second containers toward one another. During loading, an inwardly angled surface of the wedge abutment member causes the second container to be directed toward the first container.

A fire protection containment unit for protection of an intermediate bulk container (IBC) having an internal flame and drain barrier disposed above a basin portion of the containment unit. The barrier includes pans having an impact surface that is angled to drain toward a central grid of the barrier to direct escaped liquid from the IBC into the basin portion of the containment unit. The basin portion includes a base surface on an incline to define a pooling region of the containment unit to collect escaped liquid from the IBC. The containment unit includes containment walls which define various configurations of the containment unit including an open configuration, partially open configuration, a completely contained configuration and a packaged configuration.

A wall having a fluid impervious coating thereon and further having a monitoring arrangement which provides for monitoring the condition of the wall. The monitoring arrangement mounted on a surface of the wall

A bolt seal including a pin and a barrel where the barrel has a storage position on the pin and a lock position on the pin, the bolt seal optionally including a restrainer and optionally being packaged in a container in a common orientation with other bolt seals.

Systems and methods are described for securely monitoring a shipping container for an environmental anomaly using elements of a wireless node network of sensor-based ID nodes disposed within the container and a command node associated with the container. The method has the command node identifying which of the ID nodes are confirmed as trusted sensors based upon a security credential specific to each of the ID nodes; monitoring only the confirmed ID nodes for sensor data broadcast those ID nodes; detecting the anomaly based upon the sensor data from at least one of the confirmed ID nodes; automatically generating an alert notification related to the detected environmental anomaly for the shipping container; and transmitting the alert notification to the external transceiver to initiate a mediation response related to the detected environmental anomaly.

The present disclosure relates to a soil completely-covered tank system with a built-in valve chamber. The valve chamber includes a spherical tank body, a valve chamber, and a channel; an exterior of the spherical tank body is completely covered with soil, and the spherical tank body is supported by a stand column and is arranged on the ground, such that a gap is formed between the bottom of the spherical tank body and a ground foundation; the valve chamber is arranged between the spherical tank body and the ground foundation; a top opening of the valve chamber is connected to the bottom of the spherical tank body by means of a first connecting structure.
