System for simultaneous distribution of fluid to multiple vessels and method of using the same
A method of aseptically distributing fluid to a plurality of vessels includes securing the plurality of vessels relative to a hub and flowing fluid through an input tube into a plenum of the hub such that a substantially equal amount of fluid flows from the plenum into each of the vessels simultaneously. The vessels are positioned in the same plane relative to one another with each vessel having an inflow conduit extending from the hub to the vessel such that an arc segment is formed between the hub and the vessel.

System for simultaneous distribution of fluid to multiple vessels and method of using the same
A method of aseptically distributing fluid including fluidly connecting a primary vessel to a fluid distribution system via a feedline of the supply vessel to form a closed system, priming the feedline to purge trapped gases and fluid from the feedline via a purge valve, simultaneously distributing fluid from the primary vessel to a plurality of secondary vessels, sensing a complete fill of the plurality of secondary vessels with the control system, and stopping the distribution of fluid when the complete fill is sensed by the control system.

Fuel supply system
A remote fuel supply system comprising a fuel transfer unit for managing the flow of fuel from a remote fuel tank and onboard auxiliary tank to an engine. The system may include an engine unit comprising an onboard auxiliary tank, a remote fuel supply unit comprising a remote fuel tank, and a fuel transfer unit. The fuel transfer unit may include a housing featuring multiple inlets for receiving fresh fuel from the fuel supply unit and unburnt fuel from the engine unit, and the housing may include multiple outlets connected to diverter valves for selectively transferring fuel to the engine unit from the fuel supply sources; namely, the fresh fuel from the fuel supply unit and/or the unburnt fuel from the engine unit.

Fluid delivery system and method
A fluid delivery system or method for the same may include features or steps for dispensing, via a nozzle, a first fluid from a first fluid storage tank of at least two fluid storage tanks. The fluid storage tanks may be separately fluidly coupled to a manifold via respective fluid supply lines. A fluid delivery line fluidly may couple the nozzle to the manifold. A residual first fluid may remain within the delivery line after the dispensing step. The system or method may further include features or steps for connecting the nozzle to a clearance tank. A clearance outlet line may fluidly couple the clearance tank to the manifold. The system or method may further include features or steps for purging the residual first fluid from the fluid delivery line into the clearance tank and delivering the residual first fluid from the clearance tank to the first fluid storage tank.

MODULAR FARM PICKUP, BULK TRANSPORT, AND DIRECT SHIP CABINET SYSTEM FOR PERISHABLE LIQUIDS
The present invention relates a modular cabinet system for attaching to truck or truck trailer combinations involved in the loading and unloading of comestible liquid products transferred in bulk from one or more production site(s) to one or more processing center(s) or end users. The cabinet system is installed onto the rear of the transport vehicle and over the outlet valve of the transport vehicle such that the valve of the transport vehicle is enclosed within the cabinet system. The cabinet system transforms the transport vehicle such that the transport vehicle can load and unload comestible liquid products from any site regardless of the facilities and equipment provided at the site without the need to modify and reconfigure pumping and or other aspects of the cabinet system based on the site. The cabinet system includes at least a pump compartment with a dock mating surface that is enclosed by a moveable door and a separate motor compartment also enclosed by a moveable door. The cabinet system is configurable to comply with applicable regulations and requirements including 3-A standards, when necessary.
