LIGHTWEIGHT-FOAMED GLASS AGGREGATES FOR VAPORIZATION SUPPRESSION

Systems and methods are disclosed for vaporization suppression. Vaporization suppression may include, for example, evaporation control and/or odor control. A layer of foam glass aggregates may be placed on a body of water. Bodies of water may include natural and man-made aqueous bodies (such as, for example, ponds, lakes, lagoons, reservoirs, tanks, pools, runoff areas, etc.). Water may include clean water, natural water, rainwater, runoff, industrial output, manure slurries, leachates, treatment effuse, etc.). When placed, the foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a first moisture content. At equilibrium, the foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a second moisture content. The second moisture content may be greater than the first moisture content. The foam glass aggregates in contact with the water may have a bulk density at the second moisture content that is sufficient to maintain buoyancy at the surface of the body of water.

Storage Tank Isolation System
20210061552 · 2021-03-04 ·

A storage tank isolation system for a storage tank includes a vertical riser attached to a top of the storage tank and having a cover with an aperture and a connecting member extending from a side of the vertical riser. A distal end of the connecting member is parallel to the top of the storage tank and attached to a storage hatch. The storage tank isolation system includes a valve assembly, which includes a stem extending through the aperture in the cover, a valve plate attached to the stem, and a valve seat sealed to the vertical riser at a position below a connection to the connecting member. The valve plate is moves with the stem from an open position in which the valve plate is held within the vertical riser at a position equal to or above the connection to the connecting member and a closed position.
