Definitions

  • This invention relates to tanks for the storage of liquids.
  • a tank assembly of modular composite construction including:
  • each end cover is reversible having a domed body surrounded by a peripheral mounting flange, the domed body being sized so that it will locate within an associated side wall portion upon which it is mounted.
  • the end covers may be adapted so that two or more of the end covers are nestable together.
  • each end cover is of composite construction comprising two or more parts, each part having a connector flange for complementary engagement with an associated connector flange on the or each other part, said connector flanges being secured together by fasteners.
  • a number of support legs are provided on one or more of the side wall segments. Ideally, each support leg projects outwardly of the mounting flange on the side wall segment.
  • each side wall segment has a number of spaced-apart reinforcing ribs.
  • each side wall portion is cylindrical, being formed by a plurality of arcuate side wall segments.
  • similar side wall segments are nestable together.
  • each side wall segment has a number of outwardly projecting spaced-apart circumferential channel-section reinforcing ribs.
  • an inwardly facing interior of each channel formed by a rib defines a support for mounting an internal divider wall panel within the tank, a periphery of the divider wall panel locating in said channel.
  • a blind pipe fitting guide slot is provided on a side wall segment. An inner end of the guide slot can be cut out to allow the insertion of a pipe through the side wall.
  • a pipe mounting element is provided on an end cover.
  • said pipe mounting element has a pipe attachment face substantially perpendicular to a central axis of the tank.
  • the tank assembly further includes a riser turret adapted for complementary engagement with and extension of the access hatch.
  • each foot element is integrally formed with a side wall segment and extending outwardly beyond the connector flange on said side wall segment.
  • a portion of the mounting flange on a number of the side wall segments is adapted to form support feet for the tank.
  • a pipe mounting element is provided on the side wall and/or end covers, being formed integrally therewith.
  • the pipe mounting element is formed on a foot portion of a side wall segment.
  • each pipe mounting element has a drilling or cutting guide on a pipe mounting face of the pipe mounting element.
  • the invention provides a tank assembly kit for forming a tank of the type described herein, comprising a pair of the end covers and a plurality of the side wall segments.
  • the tank 1 has a body 2 with a cylindrical side wall having a number of composite side wall portions each of which is formed by a number of associated curved side wall segments or panels 4, 5, 8, and domed end wall panels 6 at each end of the side wall.
  • One of the side wall panels 5 incorporates an access turret 7.
  • Each panel 4, 5, 6, 8 has a flanged periphery, said flanges overlapping on assembly and being bolted together to form the composite modular tank 1.
  • One or more internal divider walls 10 may be mounted within the tank body 2 to subdivide the tank 1 into a number of separate compartments 11, 12, 13 ( Fig. 3 ).
  • FIG. 1 shows the side wall panel 4 which comprises a curved panel 15 with a number of spaced-apart circumferential channel-section reinforcing ribs 16.
  • An endless flange 18 extends around a periphery of the panel 15 for connection by fasteners to adjacent side wall panels 4, 5, 8 or end wall panels 6 upon assembly of the tank 1.
  • a foot element 19 projects outwardly from the panel 15 and is integrally formed therewith extending outwardly beyond the connector flange 18 on the side wall panel 4.
  • the foot elements 19 on the two lowermost side wall panels 4 act as feet to support the tank 1.
  • a lowermost support face 20 of each foot 19 extends below a lowermost edge of a flange 24 on each end wall panel 6.
  • a cylindrical blind slot 26 is provided in the panel 15, being recessed into the panel 15 for reception of a pipe, such as the pipe 27 shown in Fig. 1 . An opening for through passage of the pipe 27 is simply cut through an inner end 28 of the slot 26 to mount the pipe 27 in the slot 26.
  • Fig. 5 shows a number of the side wall panels 4 joined together to form a partially assembled tank 1.
  • Flanges 18 of adjacent side wall panels 4 overlap and are bolted together with suitable sealing therebetween.
  • each end wall panel 6 has a circular domed body 30 with a peripheral mounting flange 24 extending around an inner circumferential edge of the body 30 for overlap with and attachment to the associated mounting flanges 18 on the side wall panels 4, 5. It will be noted that the mounting flange 24 extends inwardly sufficiently so that if desired the end wall panel 6 can be reversed with the dome 30 extending into the tank 1 so that the tank 1 may be mounted in an upright orientation.
  • Pipe mounting elements 32 project outwardly of the body 30 and present a generally vertical face 34 for attachment of inlet and outlet pipes (not shown).
  • Blind pilot holes 36 are provided in said face 34 to act as pilot holes for drilling through said face 34 for reception and mounting of the inlet/outlet pipes.
  • Figs. 3 , 7 and 8 show the divider walls 10. These are provided with a peripheral mounting flange 40 for attachment to the side wall 2 of the tank 1. It will be noted also that support ribs 42 are provided on the divider wall 10 for supporting a bacteria media and also provide added strength to the divider wall 10.
  • the peripheral mounting flange 40 may conveniently locate in the inwardly facing channel 43 of the channel-section ribs 16 in the side wall panels 4, 8 to mount and support the divider walls 10 within the tank 1.
  • Fig. 13 shows the divider walls 10 mounted within the tank 1.
  • Fig. 9 shows the side wall panel 5 incorporating the turret 7.
  • the side wall panel 5 has a curved inner panel 45. This is similar in curvature to the side wall panels 4 described previously.
  • An endless mounting flange 48 extends around a periphery of the panel 5 for connection by fasteners to the adjacent side wall panels 4, 8 and end wall panels 6.
  • a generally rectangular turret body 50 projects upwardly from the inner panel 45. Side walls of the turret body 50 taper inwardly and upwardly from the inner panel 45. This allows nested stacking of a number of the side wall panels 5 with turret 7 as shown in Fig. 14 .
  • An opening at a top 51 of the turret body 50 is closed by an access hatch 52.
  • Fig. 12 shows the side wall panel 8. This is associated with the side wall panel 5 which incorporates the access turret 7. In some cases these side wall panels 5, 8 may be integrally formed.
  • the side wall panel 8 comprises a curved panel 25 with a number of spaced-apart circumferential support ribs 16.
  • An endless flange 18 extends around a periphery of the panel 25 for connection by fasteners to adjacent side wall panels 4, 5 and end wall panel 6 upon assembly of the tank 1.
  • Fig. 14 shows how components for a number of tanks can be conveniently nested together and stored on a container 54 for transport. In this case sufficient components for forming 34 tanks can be fitted in a single 40 foot container 54. Thus it will be appreciated that transport costs for the tanks 1 can be reduced by virtue of the modular knock-down construction of the tanks 1.
  • Figs. 15 shows the side wall panel 5 incorporating the turret 7 together with an associated riser turret 55 which sits on the turret body 50 and forms an upward extension thereof.
  • Riser turrets 55 of different heights may be provided to facilitate mounting the tank 1 at the different depths in the ground.
  • Figs. 16 and 17 show the side wall panel 5 incorporating the turret 7 together with another associated riser turret 55 which sits on the turret body 50 and forms an upward extension thereof.
  • the riser turret 55 is closed by a lid 56.
  • Fig. 18 shows an arrangement for a twin turret tank indicated generally by the reference numeral 60. Parts similar to those described previously are assigned the same reference numerals.
  • Figs. 19 and 20 show two different arrangements for twin turret tanks, the tank 1 in each case being elongated by the addition of an extra side wall portion 65.
  • FIG. 21 there is shown another modular tank according to the invention indicated generally by the reference number 70. Parts similar to those described previously are assigned the same reference numerals.
  • composite end covers 71 are provided. Each end cover 71 has three parts 72,73,74 which are bolted together by means of peripheral mounting flanges 75 extending along a joining edges of the parts 72,73,74.
  • FIG.22 there is shown another modular tank 80 according to the invention. Parts similar to those described previously are assigned the same reference numerals. In this case it will be noted that portion of the peripheral mounting flanges on the sidewall segments are adapted to form support feet 82 for the tank 80.
  • FIG.23 there is shown another modular tank 85 according to the invention. Parts similar to those described previously are assigned the same reference numerals. In this case it will be noted that the blind slots 26 which form pipe mounting elements are integrally formed with the feet 19 on the side wall panels 4.
  • FIG.24 there is shown another modular tank according to the invention indicated generally by the referenced numeral 90. Parts similar to those described previously are assigned the same reference numerals.
  • the tank 90 is formed by four inter- connected cylindrical sidewall portions 91,92,93,94.
  • the modular structure of the tank according to the invention allows great flexibility in constructing tanks of different sizes and in subsequently modifying the size of the tank at a later stage of desired. Also, any portions of the tank that become damaged can be readily easily replaced by simply replacing the damaged component rather than having to replace the whole tank.
