A fire-safe container includes a polymer polymeric IBC within a metal overpack. The metal overpack includes a manway surrounding a plurality of ports. Each port is on a projection form the polymeric IBC that extends into the manway through an aperture. A collar is disposed in each aperture between the projection of the polymeric IBC and the sides of the aperture such that the port is retained in the manway and preventing the port from contacting or collapsing through the aperture. The manway includes a burst disc to release pressure when there is pressure buildup. One of the ports can provide another burst disc to relieve pressure in the polymeric IBC. The polymeric IBC burst disc can release at a pressure that is greater than the pressure at which the manway burst disc releases.

A gas turbine storage container is composed of a horizontal cylindrical shell with openings at two opposite ends of the cylinder, outside is designed with frames to keep it fixed and has straps to install ropes when hoisting. The inside of the cylindrical shell is pumped with inert gas and contains desiccant. The engine is housed in a mount that can be fixed to the inside of the box, and has wheels to make it possible to move it out of the box. A sensor system that measures the temperature and humidity status inside the cylindrical shell can provide information about the quality of the gas stored in the cylindrical shell in real time without opening.

An expandable and collapsible grain bin is provided comprising at least two telescoping cylindrical sections adapted to interlock with one another when the grain bin is in an expanded position; a base member attached to the bottom most cylindrical section; and a bin cover for enclosing the grain bin, said bin cover adapted to be in a raised position when the grain bin is in the expanded position and in a lowered position when the grain bin is in a collapsed position.

Large format polymeric containers formed by injection molding include a main body having internal surfaces of high density and smoothness that define the internal space. The large format containers can include external features such as reinforcement ribs that are formed integrally with the container body, the reinforcement ribs having greater thicknesses than other portions of the walls of the container. The internal surfaces can include rounded corners and sloping towards a center of the container. Methods of manufacturing the large format polymeric containers include forming the polymeric main body using injection molding. The polymeric main body can be formed of multiple injection molded parts that are joined, or formed as a single piece. The injection molding can include applying between approximately 700 bar and approximately 1100 bar of pressure where at least a portion of the internal surface contacts a mold surface.

A cylindrical cargo container is formed of longitudinal, extruded arcuate panels joined pairwise at abutting edges to form a cylindrical tube. The container is mountable on a separate wheeled chassis to form a semi-trailer or railcar, or a chassis integral with a truck. The container may be substantially smooth on inner and outer surfaces, to provide optimal aerodynamics and freedom of motion of cargo within the container. The panels may have inner and outer skins bridged by multiple webs. Such structure may provide protection from punctures to the outer or inner skins. The container is useful to transport waste including municipal or industrial waste, and may be part of a tipper trailer. The container, trailer, truck, or railcar may be used with a compactor for compacting the waste within the container.

Techniques or processes for providing markings on products are disclosed. In one embodiment, the products have housings and the markings are to be provided on sub-surfaces of the housings. For example, a housing for a particular product can include an outer housing surface and the markings can be provided on a sub-surface the outer housing surface yet still be visible from the outside of the housing. Since the markings are beneath the surface of the housing, the markings are durable.

A bulk HPP container (10) includes a flexible body portion (12) having closed off ends (14), at least one of which is depicted as being recessed to enable the containers (10) to be positioned end-to-end in an efficient manner, for example, when placed into an HPP pressure vessel, such as a wire wound vessel. One or more openings are provided in the body portion of the container with n appropriate closure for pumpable product to enter and exit the container. In this regard, an inlet valve (16) or other type of closure may be located at the opening in one or both of the ends of the container. Also, one or more outlet valves (18) or other type of closure are located at an opening on the body portion (12) of the container for emptying the container, for example, after HPP. The body portion 12) is composed of sufficient flexural strength and sufficient flexural modulus to enable the container to reduce in volume by from 0 to at least 30% while being rigid enough for reuse over a desired number of HPP cycles.
