Abstract

816,440. Floating storage chambers. WIMPEY & CO. Ltd., G., and ROSE, N. K. June 7,1956, No. 17669/56. Class 113. Liquids lighter than and immiscible with water, such as crude petroleum oils, are stored inside a vertical cylindrical wall 4 open at its lower end and supported by pontoon floats 1 so that its upper edge is above the water surface. In the embodiment shown a roof 6 also provided with floats (not shown) is sealed to the top of the wall 4 by a flexible plastic bellows 7 ; alternatively a sliding seal may be used, or the oil may be covered with a plastic blanket or hollow plastic granules. A pipe 8 with aperture 11 (or alternatively a pipe 15) allows oil to be charged or discharged and a drainpipe 13 is provided for carrying away rain collecting on the roof. The wall 4 and roof 6 may be built up from steel plates, or be constructed of aluminium, resin-bonded fibreglass, or oilresistant fabric or plastic material.
