The invention relates to a method for realizing an aseptic connection between a valve unit and a tank container comprising an inliner, wherein a disinfection unit comprising the valve unit is positioned around the spout of the tank container. The valve unit is then disinfected by exposing it to a disinfection fluid and/or to electromagnetic radiation while the valve of the valve unit is in an open position. After having closed the valve, an end portion of the valve unit is pressed against a closure element that blocks the spout of the inliner, to thereby effect that the inner environment of the inliner and the interior of the valve unit are in fluid communication. The disinfection unit is then removed and the valve unit is fastened to the tank container to ensure an aseptic connection between the valve unit and the tank container.

Provided herein are products, methods, and kits, for use in regulating the temperature of an object. The present invention relates to thermal insulating liners for regulating the temperature of perishable goods or temperature sensitive products. The thermal insulating liners generally may be dimensioned to fit within a container. The thermal insulating liners may be quickly collapsed and reconstructed to improve stackability and diminish the amount of space required to store the thermal insulating liners prior to use.

The invention relates to inner covering for containers, the objective of which is to reduce the impact of temperatures on the inside thereof and to protect against the moisture known as “container rain”. The covering is formed by a rectangular prismatic case (1) in the horizontal position, made from a laminated composite having several layers, with two smaller bases and a series of bars (4) arranged in fixing elements (3) corresponding to two or more edges of the smaller bases, characterized in that the bars (4) are formed by elements that can be inserted into one another.

There are provided a liquid vessel which is capable of being configured in a large size of prefabricated form, and a method for producing a glass product. A liquid vessel for holding a liquid, comprising at least a first member, a second member and a third member; and a first engageable portion and a second engageable portion being configured such that the first member and the second member are brought into contact with each other to be engaged, and a third engageable portion being configured such that the third member is brought into contact with the first member and the second member in a direction intersecting an engagement direction of the first member and the second member to be engaged with the first member and the second member.

Systems and methods for employing a bulkhead bag in intermodal shipment of dry flowable commodities are disclosed. An example system includes a bulkhead bag configured to be positioned on a loading floor, between sidewalls, and proximate loading doors of an intermodal shipping container. The example system includes one or more straps configured to extend between and couple to connection points of the bulkhead bag and eyelets of the intermodal shipping container to hold an upper edge of the bulkhead bag aloft from the loading floor. The bulkhead bag is configured to expand when filled with a first portion of the dry flowable commodity such that end portions of the bulkhead bag engage sidewalls of the intermodal shipping container to form a partition between the loading doors and an interior of the intermodal shipping container used to contain a second larger portion of the dry flowable commodity.

A liner L has a liner body (11) with a front wall (12), rear wall (16), bottom wall (13), a top wall (14). The top wall also includes a tubular excess liner material or chute (19) located close to the rear wall and which includes a filling fitment (20) with a fitment cap (21). The liner also has a cylindrical, hose content inlet/outlet port or bottom fitment (23). The liner may include a gap-filler or filler strip (70) of foam material extending outwardly from a position closely adjacent the outlet fitment. The filler strip is mounted to the front wall directly over and closely adjacent the outlet fitment. The filler strip may taper so that at least a majority of the strip's longitudinal length or height so as to increase in its lateral width as it approaches the outlet fitment, thereby increasing the material volume of strip material.

Cover systems for storage tanks, such as those containing at least some petroleum. Pipe retention systems for retaining pipes to storage tanks, such as pipes that can transmit liquid containing at least some petroleum. Methods of attaching cover systems to tanks.

A dual-purpose tank container is provided, designed for transporting unrefined or refined fluid within the same internal space, eliminating unproductive deadheading. The tank container includes an inner tank in a frame, and outer insulation shell, the tank being equipped with at least one diaphragm so that a fluid, for example crude oil or diesel fuel, can occupy inner space without risk of contamination from a residual fluid. The high viscosity unrefined fluid can be almost completely drained using fluid draining channels present on the diaphragm surface, increasing transportation economy and eliminating any residual fluid pockets. At least one inlet present on the upper tank body supplies a solvent vapor/fluid to condition the space between the diaphragm and the tank wall, thereby preventing sticking of the diaphragm to the tank inner surface.

A liner for a shipping container including one or more sections, each removably disposed in overlying relation to an interior side of the shipping container, and being formed of a thermally insulative material and including at least one breathable material segment. Each breathable material segment is at least partially formed of an air permeable material having an apertured construction structured to facilitate airflow therethrough, between inner and outer surfaces of a corresponding one of said one or more sections. The apertured construction of the one or more breathable material segments may be at least partially defined by an open mesh material or other materials which include a plurality of through holes integrally formed therein.

The invention relates to a liquid-stabilizing inliner for use in a tank container, comprising an inliner having an inliner wall made of a film material, wherein the inliner wall 1) is configured as a bag to define an interior space for storing a liquid, 2) has an opening for the entrance of the liquid into the interior space, 3) has an inner surface facing the interior space and an outer surface facing an exterior environment; characterized in that an inflatable unit is connected to the inliner, the inflatable unit comprising a film material that is configured as a bag to define an interior space for containing a gas. The inflatable unit reduces sloshing of the liquid when a tank container with the inliner is partly filled with liquid. The inflatable unit may also function as a handle for removing the liquid-stabilizing after use.
