Minimizing relative movement between component parts of a tank during loading and unloading
A tank and a method of holding a load and discharging a load therefrom. The tank includes a first wall that bounds and defines a first compartment for holding 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.
INTEGRATED FRACKING SYSTEM
An integrated fracking system includes a substructure assembly including one or more frame rails. The integrated fracking system includes a pump subsystem having a frac pump and a motor. The pump subsystem is coupled to the frame rails of the substructure assembly. The integrated fracking system includes a variable frequency drive, a transformer, and a cooling subsystem, each coupled to the frame rails of the substructure assembly.
TRAILER HAVING INCREASED GROUND CLEARANCE
A bulk tank trailer including an interior storage compartment, at least one straight rear wheel axle supporting a plurality of ground-engaging wheels and a longitudinally aligned discharge pipe in operative communication with the interior storage compartment is disclosed. The entire discharge pipe may be positioned above a transverse plane of the at least one straight rear wheel axle. A method of discharging particulate materials is also disclosed. The method includes filling an interior storage compartment on a bulk tank trailer with the particulate materials, positioning a straight discharge pipe above a straight rear wheel axle on the bulk tank trailer, moving the particulate materials from the interior storage compartment along the straight discharge pipe and discharging the particulate materials from the discharge pipe.
Trailer having increased ground clearance
A bulk tank trailer including an interior storage compartment, at least one straight rear wheel axle supporting a plurality of ground-engaging wheels and a longitudinally aligned discharge pipe in operative communication with the interior storage compartment is disclosed. The entire discharge pipe may be positioned above a transverse plane of the at least one straight rear wheel axle. A method of discharging particulate materials is also disclosed. The method includes filling an interior storage compartment on a bulk tank trailer with the particulate materials, positioning a straight discharge pipe above a straight rear wheel axle on the bulk tank trailer, moving the particulate materials from the interior storage compartment along the straight discharge pipe and discharging the particulate materials from the discharge pipe.
Fuel Trailer
A fuel trailer configured to store and process fuel. The fuel trailer includes a frame with wheels; a fuel tank mounted to the frame, and a fuel system downstream from the fuel tank to move the fuel from the fuel tank. The fuel system can include filters that remove contaminants from the fuel, pumps to move the fuel, and redundant fuel lines. A dispensing end can be positioned to dispense the fuel to an outside device.
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 WITH CARPET CLEANING EQUIPMENT
A vehicle with a carpet cleaning system comprises a plurality of operational units mounted within the vehicle, including a blower pump unit, a vacuum recovery tank unit, a reel and tank unit, and an auxiliary tank unit. The operational units are mounted on a stainless steel mounting frame that defines zones for mounting each of the operational units. The mounting frame having attachment points that align each of the respective operational units which facilitates the initial assembly of the unit. The mounting frame is secured to the floor through a minimal number of opening extending through the floor. The operational units are secured with a multiplicity of threaded connectors to the frame. The separation of the individual operational units from direct attachment to the floor dramatically reduces corrosion of the vehicle and equipment, facilitates the initial assembly and minimizes maintenance and repairs.
TRAILER AND METHOD FOR TRANSPORTING PERACETIC ACID
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.
Liquid fuel delivery comprising a pump to deliver liquid fuel from a storage source to a delivery location and a controller mitigating power to operate the pump on the basis of a predetermined liquid threshold at the pump inlet
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing for improved liquid fuel delivery, by helping to mitigate damage to pumps when operated in an undesired condition. A sensor detects the presence of a liquid fuel at the inlet to the pump during pump operation, and sends the signal to a controller. Based on the detection signal from the sensor, the controller can determine whether a desired amount of liquid is present at the inlet to the pump. If a desired amount of liquid is not identified at the inlet to the pump, the controller may interrupt the power provided by a power supply, which is supplying power to operate the pump, thereby interrupting operation of the pump.
Self-Propelled Vessel Assembly
The present invention relates to a self-propelled vessel assembly (3) that includes a self-propelled vehicle (11) that includes an open-box bed (14). The self-propelled vessel assembly (3) further includes, a vessel (50) that is reversibly received (and reversibly resides) within the open-box bed (14) of the self-propelled vehicle (11). The self-propelled vessel assembly (3) additionally includes, a pump assembly (59) that includes at least one pump (62) and at least one conduit (e.g., 71) that is in fluid communication with the interior volume (56) of the vessel (50). The pump assembly (59) resides on a support structure (47) that is reversibly attached to the self-propelled vehicle (11).
