B60P3/24
Wellhead gas heater
A superheater truck comprises a shell, a heat source, a heat exchanger, at least two flame arrestors, a plurality of parallel rows of fins, and a plurality of corrugated fins disposed between the parallel rows of fins. The heat source is within the shell and comprises at least one inlet vent and at least one outlet vent. The heat exchanger is within the shell and is configured to exchange heat received from the heat source and a fluid within the heat exchanger. A first one of the at least two flame arrestors is at the inlet vent, and a second one of the at least two flame arrestors is at the outlet vent.
MULTI-COMPARTMENT TANKER
Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for a multi-compartment tanker. An apparatus includes a first liquid storage tank and a second liquid storage tank. The apparatus includes one or more valves that connect the first liquid storage tank to the second liquid storage tank. The apparatus includes a vacuum pump that is connected to the first and second liquid storage tanks and operable for facilitating transfer of at least a portion of a liquid in the first liquid storage tank to the second storage tank in response to a valve connecting the first and second storage tanks being opened.
VEHICLE, METHOD, AND SYSTEM FOR WASTE MATERIALS
A vehicle, method and system for removing waste material from a worksite is provided. An example of a vehicle includes a containment tank, a vacuum inlet pipe, a reagent tank, an injection point, and a deliver system to deliver the liquid-phase reagent to injection point. An example method includes drawing the waste material using a vacuum inlet pipe, delivering the liquid-phase reagent to the waste material, adding the liquid-phase reagent to the waste material and delivering the waste material to a containment tank. An example system includes a reagent tank and a delivery system to deliver the liquid-phase reagent to the liquid-phase reagent via a connector.
Waste disposal methods
Embodiments of the present disclosure include systems and methods for collecting, storing, separating, and disposing of waste material from an oil and gas well site in order to enhance payload efficiency. An embodiment of a method, for example, may include introducing a waste material into an enhanced-payload mobile vessel positioned at the oil and gas well site, the waste material selected to include one or more of a sludge waste material, a solids-laden wastewater material, and a dry waste material. The method may further include transporting the waste material when positioned in the enhanced-payload mobile vessel along roadways to an off-site waste management facility. Additionally, the method may include dumping the waste material from the enhanced-payload mobile vessel by a site-based lifting mechanism into a receiving vessel at the off-site waste management facility thereby to dispose of the waste material at a reduced transportation cost.
System and method of air pollution control for liquid vacuum trucks
A system and method of air pollution control for liquid vacuum trucks is disclosed. The system includes a container comprising a cylindrical shell, wherein the cylindrical shell defines an internal volume of the container, and a barrier. The barrier includes a disk slideably disposed within the interior volume of the container, the disk subdividing the interior volume of the container into a first portion and a second portion, and a seal disposed about a circumference of the disk and in sealing contact with an interior surface of the cylindrical shell. The first portion is configured to sustain an internal pressure in a predetermined range; and the second portion is configured to receive a waste material. When the internal pressure is at a maximum value of the predetermined range, the disk has a deflection less than a predetermined deflection at which the sealing contact is compromised.
Method of unloading dry bulk materials from a dry bulk tank
A dry bulk tank and a method of carrying a load and discharging a load therefrom. The dry bulk tank includes a tank assembly having a first wall that bounds and defines a first compartment for carrying a load therein and a second wall spaced outwardly from at least a portion of the first wall; wherein a second compartment is defined between the first wall and the second wall. The tank assembly includes an air piping system that is selectively actuated to place the first compartment and the second compartment under equal air pressure. In one example the air piping system pumps air into the first compartment and the second compartment. In another example the air piping system evacuates air from the first and second compartments.

Truck body
A tank 14 for storing at least one fluid comprising a main chamber 18 and at least one sub-chamber 26 having an exterior surface defining an inner volume of the at least one sub-chamber 26, the at least one sub-chamber 26 being arranged with respect to the main chamber 18 such that at least one first location of the exterior surface may be accessed from the interior of the main chamber 18 and at least one second location of the exterior surface may be accessed from a location exterior to the main chamber 18. There is also provided a method for manufacturing the tank 14.

Minimizing relative movement between component parts of a tank trailer during loading and unloading
A dry bulk tank and a method of carrying a load and discharging a load therefrom. The dry bulk tank includes a tank assembly having a first wall that bounds and defines a first compartment for carrying a load therein and a second wall spaced outwardly from at least a portion of the first wall; wherein a second compartment is defined between the first wall and the second wall. The tank assembly includes an air piping system that is selectively actuated to place the first compartment and the second compartment under substantially similar or substantially equal air pressure. In one example the air piping system pumps air into the first compartment and the second compartment. In another example the air piping system evacuates air from the first and second compartments.
