ABSTRACT:
A novel trailer is described which is particularly well-suited for receiving, transporting and unloading sludges which range in consistency from nearly liquid to semi-solid or otherwise extremely viscous materials. The novel trailer of the present invention is adapted to selectively promote aerobic or anaerobic digestion of the sludges contained therein by utilizing a novel pressure equalization system and other means. Further, the pressure of gases, particularly methane gas, which is produced as a result of said digestion is harnessed in part to facilitate the easy unloading of sludge from the trailer. Additionally, auxiliary pressurization means is provided to pressurize the head space within said tank during unloading, while a novel ejection means is disposed adjacent to or within the discharge opening which will supply, if desired, an aerated product under pressure for transfer to adjacent facilities without additional pumping. A novel, double-frusto conical tank of substantially ovate cross-section is provided having ring-like baffles disposed therein which create chutes therebelow. These chutes are provided with novel reinforcing rectangular members which also collect any sludge which inadvertently leaks through the floor of the tank.
