A tank monitor control system, device and methods are disclosed that are suitable for remote monitoring. The device comprises a monitoring unit for insertion into a fluid holding device or tank to monitor a level of fluid stored in the fluid holding device. The monitoring unit comprises at least one sensor and a communication device for transmitting the data. Additional functionalities include location data, temperature data, water quality properties, and a pressure device for measuring pressure and calculating the weight of the fluid. The system provides automatic data generation and user defined alerts along with the ability to use artificial intelligence.

A door assembly for a manure holding tank comprises a door, at least one latch subassembly for locking the door when the door is closed and a door operating mechanism. The at least one latch subassembly is mountable on the manure holding tank. The door operating mechanism is mountable on the holding tank and connected to the door for opening and closing the door. The door operating mechanism comprises a pivotably moveable portion to open and close the door and a linearly translatable portion that cooperates with the at least one latch subassembly to lock and unlock the door.

A heated slurry transport system for receiving, transporting and unloading a cuttings slurry in a non-frozen manner in cold weather environments. The heated slurry transport system generally includes a portable tank having an interior surface, at least one wall, and a rear door. A layer of insulation surrounds at least a portion of the portable tank to help retain heat within the portable tank. A heating unit is attached to the portable tank and adapted to heat a fluid that is transferred through at least one heat loop attached to the portable tank to heat the interior of the portable tank and the contents of the portable tank.

An emergency response barrier is shown and described, the barrier having a cab and engine for propelling the barrier; a frame with reinforcing bracing; two axles coupled to the frame with wheels attached thereto; wherein the frame is covered with a substantially planar skin that extends along the right and left sides of the frame, from a top of the frame down to a lower edge and covers a majority of the wheels on each side of the barrier; an impact attenuator coupling on the frame, having a vertical pin received in a bore disposed on an impact attenuator, and configured for rotation about the vertical axis of the pin; and a hydraulic cylinder connected between the frame and the impact attenuator, wherein retraction and extension of the hydraulic cylinder moves the impact attenuator through an arc of rotation about the vertical pin.

A transport vehicle spray apparatus. The transport vehicle spray apparatus has at least one storage tank. A pump transports material from the storage tank through at least one filter and a manifold to at least one spray bar. The spray bar incorporates spray nozzles through which the material from the storage tank is dispensed. In one embodiment, the spray bar is connected to a collapsible frame on the top and back of the transport vehicle storage space. The collapsible frame can expand and collapse by sliding along the length of the walls of the transport vehicle storage space. As the frame expands and collapses, the spray bar coats the interior surfaces of the transport vehicle storage space with the material from the storage tank. The transport vehicle spray apparatus is utilized to spray and coat the walls of a transport vehicle's storage space with a desired fluid.

This disclosure is directed toward a heated tailgate for use in cold climates. The heated tailgate may be used with a self-contained heated portable vacuum slurry box. The slurry box generally includes a vacuum tank, a structure attached to the tank, a vertical tailgate, and a hook for pulling the slurry box onto a vehicle. The heated tailgate provides that the slurry cuttings within the slurry box which are adjacent to the tailgate do not freeze and provides for a way in which the tailgate may seal to the vacuum box.

A system to display liquid levels in vehicle auxiliary tanks is disclosed. The vehicle includes a plurality of auxiliary tanks disposed on a vehicle cargo bed. The vehicle further includes a first detection unit to detect a user activity associated with the plurality of auxiliary tanks, and a second detection unit to measure a vehicle weight. The vehicle further includes a control unit to identify a first auxiliary tank, from the plurality of auxiliary tanks, which is associated with the user activity. The control unit further determines a vehicle weight change based on the measurement of weight and an initial vehicle weight. In addition, the control unit correlates first auxiliary tank identification and weight change determination, and calculates a liquid level change associated with the first auxiliary tank. Responsive to the calculation, the control unit displays the liquid level change on a user interface.

In some implementations, a dual gas transport system includes a trailer, one or more tanks mounted on the trailer, wherein each of the one or more tanks includes a first compartment and a second compartment, the first and second compartments being separated from each other by a sliding piston, and an electronic control module configured to control operations of the one or more tanks.

The current disclosure relates to a tank trailer for transporting meat packaging by-products. The tank trailer has a cylindrical body having a sloped rear end. An opening is formed in the sloped rear end, and a gate selectively blocks the opening. A locking mechanism is provided to securely lock the gate to the cylindrical body, thereby sealing the cylindrical body. The sloped rear end forms a chute through which meat by-products can be poured. The chute extends for a distance rearwardly of the trailer's rear wheel assembly.

A deicing fluid recovery system includes a vehicle movable adjacent to an aircraft and including a holding tank configured to store deicing fluid and a receptacle configured to capture deicing fluid from the aircraft during a deicing procedure. During the deicing procedure, deicing fluid runoff from a surface of the aircraft may be captured into the receptacle and transferred from the receptacle into the holding tank. The deicing fluid runoff may be captured into the receptacle before the deicing fluid runoff contacts ground.
