Bladder for retaining material in a bladder tank
A bladder for retaining material to be stored within a bladder tank. The bladder comprises a flexible enclosure comprising a floor portion connected to one or more wall portions, and a leak retention enclosure having upper and lower edges sealed to the flexible enclosure to create a sealed chamber between the flexible enclosure and the leak retention enclosure. Leakage of material from within the flexible enclosure adjacent to the sealed chamber is received within the sealed chamber and retained by the leak retention enclosure.

SHIPPING SYSTEM FOR TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE MATERIALS
Shipping system for temperature-sensitive materials. In one embodiment, the shipping system may include a frame defining an enclosure. The frame may include a bottom, a top, a front, a rear, a left side, a right side, a left corner gusset, and a right corner gusset. The front may serve as a door. Thermal breaks may be provided in one or more of the bottom, the front, the left corner gusset, and the right corner gusset. Vacuum insulated panels may be positioned along all sides of the frame. Many of the vacuum insulated panels may be encapsulated between the frame and an outer shell. A plurality of phase-change material assemblies may be positioned within the frame along all sides. Heat-spreaders may be positioned interior to the phase-change material assemblies. The shipping system may be dimensioned so that four such shipping systems may be seated on a prorate manual cargo sheet.
CORNER STRUCTURE AND LIQUEFIED GAS STORAGE TANK HAVING SAME
Disclosed is a corner structure (100) of a liquefied gas storage tank, the corner structure (100) being installed on a corner of a liquefied gas-carrying storage tank to support sealing walls (51, 52) that prevent the liquefied gas from leaking. The corner structure (100) comprises: two insulation members (110) arranged, oriented in different directions, on the inner surface of structural walls of a ship; and operational members (130) which are disposed on respective insulation members (110), and to which the support sealing walls (51, 52) adhere. The operational members (130) may be attached to the insulation members (110) so as to allow sliding against same.

Modular Indefinite Volume Combined Tank
A modular indefinite volume combined tank is provided, including a tank body module, a tank bottom module and an inflating module, wherein the tank body module is formed by splicing a plurality of wall plates and connectors, and the wall plates and the connectors form a tank body. The tank bottom module includes a strip-type steel plate, concrete cloth, annular steel plate and a cement foundation. The strip-type steel plate is paved on the cement foundation, the annular steel plate is arranged in the upper side of the outer edge of the strip-type steel plate, the annular steel plate is encircled by a plurality of arc-shaped steel sheets, a ring of annular edge is arranged in the annular steel plate to be connected to the upper tank body, and a layer of concrete cloth is arranged between the lower side of the annular steel plate and the strip-type steel plate.
Modular storage tank with secondary containment
A modular storage tank has a secondary containment receptacle defined by a plurality of rigid floor panels which are joined to one another to form a continuous floor and a plurality of rigid, upright wall panels joined to one another to form a continuous perimeter wall extending upwardly from the continuous floor, and a primary containment receptacle defined by a flexible line membrane within the secondary containment receptacle. The wall panels are joined to one another using a gasket and threaded fasteners such that the wall panels are readily separable from one another for reuse at different site after disassembly. The floor panels are joined to one another and to the perimeter wall by welded seams.
Storage and transportation radome container
A storage and transportation container for a radome of an aircraft is disclosed having a top wall, and bottom wall that are planar and parallel to one another, and a peripheral wall, wherein the top, bottom, and peripheral walls form an enclosure for supporting the radome within the container. The top wall has a closed curved outline and a surface of a dimension greater than that of the bottom wall having an outline which forms a parallelogram thus making it possible to receive the radome with its curved nose pointing downwards, and wherein the geometry of the container is matched to the form of the radome and of the hold.
ADJUSTABLE MAGNETIC COUPLER
Provided is an adjustable magnetic coupler 10 for operatively and removably attaching cladding 20 to a ferromagnetic surface 12.5, the coupler 10 including a first body 12 including a first magnetised element 12.3 for attaching to the ferromagnetic surface 12.5, the first body 12 operatively associated with a second body 14 which includes a second magnetised element 14.4 configured for magnetically attaching to an article of cladding 20 to be attached to the ferromagnetic surface 12.5 via the coupler 10. Also included is an adjustor 16 for selectively adjusting the distance between the first and second elements to adjust a separation between said cladding and the ferromagnetic surface.
Portable tank
A tank for bulk material storage and transport and method for producing same. In an embodiment, a tank is provided that includes a shell having a sidewall, a neck including a first collar, and a tube terminating in a second collar. A frustoconical cap may be secured to the first collar. A substantially conical cap may be secured to the second collar. A liner may be applied to the shell so that the liner substantially covers an interior surface of the sidewall, an interior surface of the neck, at least a portion of the first collar, an interior surface of the tube, and at least a portion of the second collar. Annular thickened segments may be trimmed to prepare the tank for use. The annular thickened segments may be located at an interior joint between the frustoconical cap and the first collar, and/or an interior joint between the substantially conical cap and the second collar. The trimming step may form first and second sealing surfaces of the liner adjacent respectively to the first and second collars. The first and second sealing surfaces may respectively be configured to substantially seal against a manway cover and an outlet cover. In a final, assembled preferred form, the frustoconical and substantially conical caps are replaced with the manway assembly and outlet cover, respectively sealed against the first and second sealing surfaces.
