Abstract:
A method for storing a pressurized liquid or gas features a portable storage tank arranged to contain liquids or gases under pressure therein. The tank has a tank body with openings at or adjacent the top and bottom of the tank body for filling the liquid or gas therein and discharging the liquid or gas therefrom. Also, the tank has a support assembly for resting on a support surface that is arranged to hold the tank body raised above the ground. The support assembly includes a plurality of legs extending downwardly from the tank body and a base arranged for resting on the ground to support the tank standing upwardly from the ground. The method further comprises loading the tank in a substantially horizontal position onto a trailer for transporting the tank; erecting the tank; and filling the pressurized liquid or gas into the tank.
Abstract:
A storage tank defines a square hopper bottom converging to a bottom discharge located at one corner. The tank sits on a base frame defined by four vertical retractable legs with one leg at the discharge recessed inwardly from the corner. A discharge conveyor is mounted at the discharge for rotation about an upstanding axis at the discharge opening unimpeded by the recessed leg to move the conveyor from a retracted position along a side of the frame to an extended position at a selected angle outwardly from the frame. A horizontal platform and ladder is located at one side of the tank with the ladder being movable to a stored position parallel to the platform and both the ladder and the platform are movable to a stored position along the side of the tank.
