A trailer for transporting a liquid mixture having at least about 5% peracetic acid by weight includes a stainless steel tank having an external spill containment enclosure and a predetermined maximum allowable working pressure. One or more pressure relief valves are included in a wall of the tank within the external spill containment enclosure and configured to provide pressure relief to the tank at a pressure of between about 20%-50% of the maximum working pressure of the tank, thereby preventing over-pressurization of a reactive and decomposing fluid during a fire event. Wheels and a kingpin are affixed to the tank to enable transportation over public roadways.

A container has a base material and a coating layer which is disposed on at least a portion of the base material, contains a composition containing at least one kind of metal component selected from the group consisting of Ti, Al, Mg, Zr, Hf, Fe, Ni, Sn, Zn, Cr, and Mo, and has a thickness equal to or greater than 50 m. In a case where the composition contains one kind of metal component, a ratio RCAs calculated by CA1s/CA2s is less than 1.0. Alternatively, in a case where the composition contains two or more kinds of metal components, in at least a portion of the coating layer, an average of RCAs determined for each of two or more kinds of the metal components is less than 1.0.

An adhesive includes a modified olefin polymer (A) allowing a polymer of a C2 to C20 -olefin having a structural unit derived from a C4 to C20 -olefin to be modified with a monomer having a functional group capable of reacting with an isocyanate group and having a heat of fusion measured in accordance with JIS K7122 of 0 J/g or more and 50 J/g or less and a polyisocyanate (B).

Rotomolded polyethylene containers that are used to store sulfuric acid can become discolored on the interior surface which is in contact with the acid. This problem may be mitigated by the use of an additive package that contains two primary antioxidants.

A calcium aluminate cement protective coating is resistant to sulfuric acid and can be used as a lining to protect surfaces in sulfur storage vessels and sulfuric acid storage vessels. The protective coating can include calcium aluminate cement, calcium aluminate based synthetic aggregates, and water. The protective coating is resistant to sulfur and sulfuric acid attack, and thus can be used to protect surfaces inside sulfur storage pits, sulfur storage tanks, and sulfuric acid storage containers.

The invention relates to a system for distributing and dispensing liquids, the system comprising a plurality of re-usable containers, each container comprising a removable closure arranged to engage with a neck of the container, the closure comprising a liquid flow passage extending through the closure; and a dip tube fluidly connected to or forming the liquid flow passage of the closure and extending into the container. The system further comprises a dispensing assembly comprising a dispensing pump, a dispensing tube fluidly connected to the dispensing pump, and a connector arranged to releasably engage with the closure so as to fluidly connect the dispensing tube to the liquid flow passage of the closure. The removable closure is a tamper-proof or tamper-evident closure, arranged to deter or prevent removal of the closure by an unauthorised person. A method for distributing and dispensing liquids using the inventive system is further provided. A further aspect relates to a hand-held displacement pump for use with the system and method of the present invention.

An apparatus for dispensing liquid from a container, and for monitoring the level of liquid within said container, comprises a container for storing liquid to be dispensed; and a conduit, the conduit comprising: a feed tube extending from the container to an appliance; a dip tube extending in the container to the bottom of the container; a liquid supply channel extending through the feed tube and dip tube and having an open first end defined by a lower end of the dip tube, which, in use, is arranged to be immersed in said liquid in said container, and a second end arranged, in use, to extend outside of said container; and a pressure measurement channel branching from the feed tube at a point located between said first and second ends of the liquid supply channel. The apparatus further comprises a pressure transducer in fluid communication with said pressure measurement channel, and a means to draw liquid from the first end of the liquid supply channel to dispense liquid from the second end of the liquid supply channel. The pressure measurement channel branches from the feed tube at a fixed height relative to the bottom of the dip tube.

Shipping containers for batteries are described herein. An example shipping container includes a base defining a cavity, a lid to be coupled to a top of the base to substantially seal the cavity, and an absorbent pad disposed within the cavity to absorb liquid from the battery if the battery leaks.
