ABSTRACT:
A bulk liquid container constructed of semi-rigid material which has an integral outer wall to limit leakage. A single endless inner seal and an optional dual outer seal reduces the risk of leakage. The container is constructed with a single layer of material and is suitable for a wide variety of uses including food transport. Stability of the container is enhanced by a self forming convex upper layer designed to reduce surging of the liquid when the container is transported. The container can be completely filled under pressure by venting air from a vent near the apex of the convex upper layer. The semi-rigid nature of the material further acts to reduce the surging motion of the liquid when the vehicle containing the bulk liquid container is in motion. The use of retaining straps is not required. An optional bulkhead designed for rapid installation and removal, as well as remote vent, fill and empty lines for ease of use and worker safety are also provided. The bulk liquid container is also useful static standalone storage.
