20100012662 | Underground Storage Tank for Flammable and Combustible Liquids - A method for manufacturing a tank for storing flammable and combustible liquids underground includes fabricating a cylindrical tank core. Structurally, the core encloses a chamber and has an outer surface. Further, the core includes at least one opening for monitoring the integrity of the chamber positioned on the core's bottom centerline. Also, the tank includes a screen attached to the outer surface of the core along the bottom centerline to cover the opening. Moreover, a foil is affixed to the screen and to the outer surface of the tank core. Sprayed or applied on the foil is a seamless jacket formed from polyurea, thermoplastic, polyurethane or polyamine epoxy to encapsulate the tank core. | 01-21-2010 |
20100084409 | WET WELL APPARATUS WITH BASE FORM AND INSTALLATION METHOD REGARDING SAME - A wet well apparatus, and installation method therefore, that includes a cylindrical body extending between a first end and a second end along a body axis defining an interior material holding volume and a base form closing the first end of the cylindrical body to define a base interior volume adjacent the interior material holding volume of the cylindrical body. The base form is configured to receive a flowable fill material in the base interior volume. | 04-08-2010 |
20100108688 | Underground Storage Tank with Sediment Trap - The Invention is an underground storage tank apparatus and method. A buried underground storage tank has a tank sump and a manway defined by a manhole skirt side wall communicating from the surface of the ground to the tank sump. A sediment trap is disposed annularly within the manway and intercepts water and sediment flowing down the manhole skirt wall. An inside wall of the sediment trap is in an annular spaced-apart relation with a tank sump perimeter watt, which together define an annular space interior volume that receives water that overtops the sediment trap inside wall and which receives liquid that overtops the tank sump perimeter wall. | 05-06-2010 |
20120145719 | Foot Pedal for Automated Dump Station - A foot pedal mechanism for an automated dump station includes a safety release functionality so that when the foot pedal is secured in a closed position and excessive force is applied to the foot pedal, the foot pedal and the locking mechanisms are not damaged. | 06-14-2012 |
20120255958 | CONDUCTIVE TANK SUMP AND DISPENSER SUMP, AND METHOD OF EARTHING PROCESS OF THE SAME - A conductive tank sump ( | 10-11-2012 |
20130270277 | Apparatus and Method for Installing a Fluid Storage Tank - In one aspect, a fluid storage apparatus includes a fluid storage tank having a longitudinal axis. The apparatus also includes a channel disposed on an outer surface of the fluid storage tank, the channel configured to receive an anchor strap used to secure the fluid storage tank to a ground surface of an underground installation site. | 10-17-2013 |
20130270278 | Apparatus and Method for Positioning a Fluid Storage Tank - In one aspect, a method for positioning a fluid storage tank in an underground installation site includes providing the fluid storage tank that includes a measuring device configured to provide a deflection measurement for the fluid storage tank and placing the fluid storage tank in the underground installation site. The method also includes measuring a first value for the deflection measurement from a distance from the measuring device after placing the fluid storage tank in the underground installation site without an operator being positioned on the fluid storage tank, wherein the first value provides a baseline for determining deflection of the fluid storage tank. | 10-17-2013 |
20140209617 | Method of manufacturing a container, container and apparatus for manufacturing a container - A container having the shape of a cylinder of a substantially horizontal symmetry axis, closed at its both ends with the bottoms comprising steps in which a body having the form of a pipe empty inside of a corrugated inner surface is manufactured so that a first set of spray nozzles arranged at various angles is introduced into a mold turning around its own axis and then an inner surface of the mold is sprayed, next a hole is cut out for an inspection manhole in the surface of the produced body, then the body is closed with the bottoms at both ends so that a bottom mold is placed at each open end of the body, a second set of spray nozzles arranged at various angles is introduced through the hole for an inspection manhole, and then an inner surface of the bottom mold is sprayed. | 07-31-2014 |
20140263362 | METHODS AND APPARATUSES FOR RECOVERING, STORING, TRANSPORTING AND USING COMPRESSED GAS - Methods and systems for recovering, storing, transporting, and using compressed gas (such as methane gas and conventional Natural Gas) are disclosed. Exemplary methods generally involve transferring gas from a source to a subterranean capacitor and storing the gas in the capacitor and transferring gas from the subterranean capacitor to a transport or refueling tanker. | 09-18-2014 |
20140291332 | Self-Supporting Double Wall In Situ Tank System - A liner, a double-walled tank including such a liner, and a method for retrofitting or creating such a liner wherein the liner is designed to be self-supporting. Specifically, the liner is formed by adding structures to the inner surface of an existing single-walled or double walled tank which project from the inner surface of the tank into the internal volume. The combination of the surfaces of the structures and the remaining inner surfaces of the tank form a modified inner surface which then has a liner placed adjacent thereto. The liner is hardened or other fixed in form to provide for an internal liner which retains negatives of the shapes of the structures and is capable of resisting deformation should the original tank be removed and the liner be filled with material that originally would occupy the tank. | 10-02-2014 |
