Systems and methods for transportation of waxy crude
A method of transporting waxy crude hydrocarbon includes: providing a container having an internal chamber with at least one port for receiving flowable waxy crude, wherein the container is provided at a refinery location; filling the internal chamber of the container with a filling system for loading the waxy crude hydrocarbon into the container; allowing the waxy crude hydrocarbon to cool and solidify into a non-flowable state; transporting the container having the non-flowable waxy crude hydrocarbon with at least one transport vehicle, wherein the transporting is performed without actively heating the waxy crude hydrocarbon with an active heating system, wherein the transporting is along a transportation route having a beginning at the refinery location and an ending; heating the waxy crude hydrocarbon at the ending of the transportation route until flowable; and removing the flowable waxy crude hydrocarbon from the container with an emptying system.
Flexible container liner wringing device and liner
A liner L has a liner body 11 with a front wall 12, rear wall 16, bottom wall 13, a top wall 14. The top wall also includes a tubular excess liner material or chute 19 located close to the rear wall and which includes a filling fitment 20 with a fitment cap 21. The liner also has a cylindrical, hose content inlet/outlet port or bottom fitment 23. The liner may include a gap-filler or filler strip 70 of foam material extending outwardly from a position closely adjacent the outlet fitment. The filler strip is mounted to the front wall directly over and closely adjacent the outlet fitment. The filler strip may taper so that at least a majority of the strip's longitudinal length or height so as to increase in its lateral width as it approaches the outlet fitment, thereby increasing the material volume of strip material.
Container for transport of bulk liquids using dry trailers
A system includes a rigid container configured to receive a dry cargo and a flexible container configured to receive a bulk liquid. The flexible container is configured to be disposed within the rigid container when the flexible container contains the bulk liquid. The flexible container includes a set of container portions and a set of restriction portions. Each container portion has a first cross-sectional area and each restriction portion defines a second cross-sectional area less than the first cross-sectional area. Each restriction portion is disposed between a pair of adjacent container portions and is configured to restrict a flow of the bulk liquid therebetween. The restricting of the flow of the bulk liquid between the container portions is configured to limit load shifting associated with the flexible container when disposed in the rigid container.
Thermal insulation liners
Provided herein are products, methods, and kits, for use in regulating the temperature of an object. The present invention relates to thermal insulating liners for regulating the temperature of perishable goods or temperature sensitive products. The thermal insulating liners generally may be dimensioned to fit within a container. The thermal insulating liners may be quickly collapsed and reconstructed to improve stackability and diminish the amount of space required to store the thermal insulating liners prior to use.
Liner for tank container
A liner for a tank container, wherein the tank container is used for the transportation of cargo such as liquids, gases, and flowable solids. The liner is made of a polymeric material and it is sized to fit within the tank container. The liner is secured to the tank container using flexible gland flanges that are sandwiched between the tank body and the cover of the specific hole.
BULK PRODUCT CONTAINER SYSTEM
A container system for shipping product in bulk, having a corrugated container sleeve and a pallet for supporting the sleeve thereon, the pallet having a channel configured to receive therein a bottom edge of the sleeve, and the pallet with said sleeve defining an internal section of the container system in which the bulk product is contained.
Thermal shield for maintaining a generally constant temperature
A thermal shield comprises an insulation layer having a space defined therein, wherein a low-conductivity material fills the space, and a valve configured to connect to a vacuum to remove air from the space, thereby increasing insulating properties of the insulation layer.
System and Method for Preventing Over Pressure in Flexible Bladder Tanks
A system for preventing over pressure in a flexible tank when connected to a water grid that includes the flexible tank and a control unit. An inlet of the tank is connected to the water grid through the control unit. The control unit includes a closed box, an inlet that is connected to the water grid, an outlet that is connected to the inlet of the tank, and a float valve. The user place the flexible tank and set the float so that it will be opened or closed in a certain height of activating water level in the control unit and to place the control unit in a way that the activating water level is at the same level of a desired water level of the flexible tank.
Containment bag for use in a commercial disposal container
A non-self supporting containment bag used in conjunction with a dumpster container. The bag has a center opening that extends across the top of the bag, substantially centered on the top of the bag. The top of the bags is formed with sufficient spare material at the ends of the rectangular shaped bag to allow the top to be inverted over the sides of the container. The opening when closed, has sufficient material to form opposing triangular folds that extends above the top of the bag and the top of the container, when the bag is lining the container.
Paraffin deposition inhibitor coatings
A containment for crude oil that inhibits paraffin deposition thereon is described. One to twenty coatings of a composition including a polyacrylate are applied to a crude oil contact surface of a crude oil containment; the polyacrylate includes at least about 50 mole % acrylic acid residues or the conjugate base thereof. The coating compositions are suitably delivered from a water dispersion, solution, or emulsion and dried before applying a subsequent coating. Each of the one to twenty coatings are formed from the same or from different polyacrylate coating compositions. The coated containment surfaces inhibit deposition of at least 10 wt % and as much as 90 wt % of paraffin solids from a crude oil compared to the same crude oil contact in the absence of the one to twenty coatings. The coatings inhibit paraffin deposition at temperatures between about 60 C. and 40 C.
