STORAGE AND TRANSPORT SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SOLID SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE PENTAHYDRATE

A storage and transport system for sodium hypochlorite pentahydrate (solid bleach) is provided. The system includes a container configured to receive and store crystalline solid bleach that includes of at least forty percent sodium hypochlorite, and to retain decomposition components from crystalline solid bleach stored in the container. The container includes a containment wall at least partially surrounding an interior containment space configured to receive solid bleach therein. A passage extends from exterior the container to the interior containment space. The passage is configured for solid bleach to pass therethrough. A liner is located at an interior surface of the containment wall. The liner is substantially non-reactive with solid bleach and, without leakage, capable of retaining within the containment space: (a) solid bleach, (b) decomposition components of solid bleach and (c) liquid bleach formed when dissolving water is added to solid bleach within the containment space.

A cryogenic tank car tank includes an outer tank, an inner tank positioned within the outer tank, an inner nozzle, and inner manway plate, an outer nozzle, and an outer manway plate. The inner nozzle defines an opening in the inner tank. The inner manway plate is welded to the inner nozzle and covers the opening in the inner tank. The outer nozzle defines an opening in the outer tank and is positioned above the inner nozzle, such that the inner manway plate is accessible through the outer nozzle. The outer manway plate couples to an upper edge of the outer nozzle to cover the opening in the outer tank. In response to applying the vacuum to the annular space between the inner and outer tanks, a differential pressure between the annular space and a space external to the outer tank secures the outer manway plate to the outer nozzle.
