A container for transporting flowable filling material includes a tank with a gas connection to which a protective gas line can be connected. A sensor device including an adapter element and a telemetry module is connected to the gas connection of the tank by the adapter device. The adapter element has a gas connection piece and a medium channel. A protective gas line can be connected to the gas connection piece of the adapter when the adapter is connected to the gas connection of the tank so that a protective gas can be guided through the gas connection piece and the medium channel of the adapter and into an interior of the tank. The telemetry module has a sensor that senses data relating to a state parameter of the container and/or filling material and a transmitter for wirelessly transmitting the data.

A liquid storage tank has a breathing valve that vents the tank's headspace at a high-pressure value and admits an ambient gas at a low-pressure value. A controller generates a first control signal when the percentage of the catalyst gas is less than a catalyst threshold, a second control signal when the percentage of the catalyst gas exceeds the catalyst threshold, and a third control signal when the pressure in the headspace is equal to a low-pressure threshold between the breathing valve's low-pressure value and high-pressure value. The first valve is only opened to output inert gas at a discharge pressure greater than the breathing valve's high-pressure value in response to the second control signal. The second valve is only opened to output inert gas at a discharge pressure that is between the breathing valve's low-pressure value and high-pressure value in response to the third control signal.

A hydrocarbon tank system environment corrosion inhibitor includes use of inert gas, preferably Nitrogen, to blanket ullage and interstice through the tank system. Blanket gas is provided is controller into coupling to access ullages. Blanket gas is provided upon fueling events to stabilize the pressure m the system and prevent entry of atmospheric air and water (vapor). Blanket gas may be continuously run into the ullage and/or other spaces in tank system. A controlled system allows for monitoring of pressures in the tank, and thereby identifies pressure events and even leaks in system due to unusual events, or general loss of pressure.

A dome-based cyclic inert sealing system for an external floating roof tank includes the external floating roof tank, a dome structure, an inert sealing pipeline, and a gas source servo device; wherein the dome structure is formed by a top portion of a tank wall of the external floating roof tank for sealing; the dome structure together with an internal wall of the external floating roof tank, a floating plate and a sealing device form a gas phase space which is isolated from atmosphere, so as to fill the gas phase space with an inert sealing medium; the inert sealing medium is a gas fire-fighting medium used in a suffocation fire-fighting method; the gas source servo device is connected to the gas phase space through the inert sealing pipeline and communicates through a valve for feedback-controlling states of the inert sealing medium in the gas phase space.

Protective covers (e.g., liners) for use in protecting aircraft cargo hold floors from potentially harmful or dangerous fluids and other substances, and from physical damage, are described herein. In some embodiments, the cargo pit liners described herein can include a plurality of raised portions and adjacent recesses that provide a protective barrier between cargo and a floor of the cargo pit. The raised portions can facilitate movement of cargo and improve impact resistance, and the recesses can collect and retain potentially detrimental fluids.
