DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
TECHNICAL FIELD
This invention relates to a container capable of use as a prefabricated, self-contained and self-supporting liquid products terminal transportable to remote locations for immediate use for storing and dispensing liquid products in large quantities ("bulk liquids"). In addition, the container can be combined with other containers to form a series of containers serving as a single large terminal facility. The container either can be active and dispense its liquid product by a pump, or it can be passive and dispense its liquid products by gravity or by attachment to an external pump, such as a portable pump or a connection in series to an active container. In addition, the container may also be used to easily convert all or part of a dry cargo vessel to a temporary or permanent liquid products carrier.
This invention also relates to methods of using a container to quickly and easily create a bulk liquid products storage and dispensing terminal facility for flammable, explosive, hazardous and non-hazardous liquid products, as well as certain flowable bulk dry products, even in remote and primitive locations lacking basic support services such as electricity. Such a facility would be capable of storing and dispensing such products immediately upon arrival.
This invention also relates to methods of using a container to quickly and easily convert all or part of a dry cargo vessel into a carrier for flammable, explosive, hazardous and non-hazardous liquid products.
This invention also relates to methods of using two or more containers to establish a loaded terminal facility at a location previously lacking available terminal facilities for bulk flammable, explosive, hazardous and non-hazardous liquid products and bulk flowable dry products.
BACKGROUND ART
Bulk liquids are traditionally transported in specialized tanker vessels. These ships are relatively few in number compared to dry cargo vessels and require specialized terminal facilities for discharging their cargo ashore for storage and further distribution. These bulk liquid terminals usually need a power source to pump the stored liquid out of the terminal.
Dry cargo vessels are generally configured to transport a plurality of containers of standardized sizes and shapes ("standardized cargo containers") which are described below.
The conversion of dry cargo vessels into liquid product carriers is desirable in order to increase the number of vessels able to carry bulk liquid products. Further, the use of multiple discrete liquid product containers to convert the dry cargo vessels is preferred in order to maximize the increased flexibility conversion offers in determining the portion of a vessels dry cargo capacity to convert into liquid cargo capacity.
In addition, many commonly transported and stored liquid products require certain safety features on their containers. Petroleum products, for example, require that pressures within a container be maintained within a certain range in order to prevent an explosion or an implosion. Also, an inert gas blanket must fill the ullage of the container in order to prevent an explosive gas mixture from developing. Oxygen-containing gases, such as air, must be excluded from any place in which petroleum fumes might gather in a dangerous quantity, therefore, a proper venting system is required. Fire-fighting or fire-prevention systems also may be needed.
Many locations have the ability to make liquid products from local raw materials, but currently lack a terminal facility or tank farm to store the manufactured liquid products pending the arrival of an appropriate carrier. Therefore, these locations export raw solid materials instead of manufactured liquid products, to their economic detriment.
Currently, a liquid products terminal facility or tank farm able to receive off-loaded bulk liquid cargo or to store bulk liquid cargo pending the arrival of a liquid products carrier must be constructed using traditional means encompassing much expense, pre-planning and a lengthy period of time.
