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.

A dry bulk tank and a method of carrying a load and discharging a load therefrom. The dry bulk tank includes a tank assembly having a first wall that bounds and defines a first compartment for carrying 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 a 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.

An apparatus for dewatering sludge comprises a tank having an internal space divided by a dividing wall into an intake chamber and an extract chamber, an intake pipe connected to the intake chamber by an intake valve, a discharge pipe connected to the extract chamber by a discharge valve, and a transfer pipe providing fluid communication between the intake chamber and the extract chamber. The transfer pipe has first opening near the bottom of the intake chamber, and a second opening near the top of the extract chamber. A pump selectively creates positive and negative pressure within the intake chamber. A screen is positioned within the extract chamber between the second opening of the transfer pipe and the discharge pipe. 15

A tank and a method of carrying a load and discharging a load therefrom. The tank includes a body having a first wall that bounds and defines a first compartment for carrying 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. An air piping system 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.

A system and method of air pollution control for liquid vacuum trucks is disclosed. The system includes a container comprising a cylindrical shell, wherein the cylindrical shell defines an internal volume of the container, and a barrier. The barrier includes a disk slideably disposed within the interior volume of the container, the disk subdividing the interior volume of the container into a first portion and a second portion, and a seal disposed about a circumference of the disk and in sealing contact with an interior surface of the cylindrical shell. The first portion is configured to sustain an internal pressure in a predetermined range; and the second portion is configured to receive a waste material. When the internal pressure is at a maximum value of the predetermined range, the disk has a deflection less than a predetermined deflection at which the sealing contact is compromised.
