To provide a vapor recovery device capable of making the most of the capacity of the adsorption/desorption towers and efficiently adsorbing and desorbing fuel oil vapor. A vapor recovery device 1 having: a pump 5 disposed on a pipe 4 branched from a vent pipe 3, one end of which being connected to an underground tank 2, to suck a fuel oil vapor V in the underground tank; a condenser 6 connected, on the branch pipe, to a downstream side of the pump to condense the fuel oil vapor; and a plurality of adsorption/desorption towers 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b connected, on the branch pipe, to a downstream side of the condenser in series to adsorb/desorb fuel oil vapor fed from the condenser. One of the adsorption/desorption towers can be arranged above another one of remaining adsorption/desorption towers, and the pump may be fixed in a housing 30 through a bottom face and a side face of the pump and elastic bodies 32, 33.

A tank container includes a frame having a front end opposite a rear end that defines a rear plane, a vessel extending between the front end and the rear end of the frame, and a discharge valve assembly. The discharge valve assembly comprises an internal bottom valve, an adaptor, and a discharge valve. The internal bottom valve is positioned within an interior volume of the vessel and the discharge valve is positioned entirely within the frame and offset at least one inch from the rear plane. The adaptor curves downwardly between the internal bottom valve and the discharge valve.

This invention relates to a transportable modular container system for fluid freight. The transportable modular container system comprises a container module including a reservoir configured to hold a fluid; an adjustable support for the container module, removably securable to a load area of a freight carrying transport and reciprocatingly adjustable between proximate and distal positions, the container module being located relatively closer to the load area in the proximate position than in the distal position, and wherein a zone for secondary freight is defined between the container module and the load area when the adjustable support is in the distal position and removably secured to the load area of the freight carrying transport; and a removable fluid flow control module for controlling fluid flow of the fluid between an external reservoir and the container module reservoir and releasably connectable to the container module.

A vapor and liquid recovery tower (VLRT) includes a top section adapted to receive a liquid stream with entrained gas that gravity flows down through the VLRT, and a packing section comprising packing material adapted to release the entrained gas from the liquid stream to produce a VLRT liquid output and a VLRT gas output. The VLRT may further include a lower section adapted to receive a gas stream that rises up through the packing section, wherein the packing material is further adapted to increase surface area contact between the liquid stream and the gas stream, and wherein the VLRT gas output includes the entrained gas and the gas stream.
