Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a storage installation and more particularly to a suspended underground storage tank which may be utilized to contain low temperature liquids.
  • the present invention contemplates a novel storage installation which can be erected quickly and economically and which is not subject to many of the problems brought about by surface storage.
  • This installation comprises one or more foundation members disposed along sides of a depression in the earth. Disposed between each pair of foundation members is a support means to which flexible suspension means are connected in a position substantially over the depression.
  • a container into which a material can be placed. Outside the container and within the walls of the depression is provided a vapor barrier as well as a quantity of insulating material.
  • An important object of this invention is to facilitate the storage of materials with minimum heat loss therefrom.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a liquid storage installation which does not necessitate the use of extensive dikes.
  • a further object of this invention is to provide a storage installation which may be quickly and economically installed under adverse terrain conditions.
  • Another object of this invention is to provide a storage installation wherein thermal stresses are minimized.
  • Yet another object of this invention is to provide a storage installation which is less susceptible to puncture or other injury.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view, partially cut away, of an underground storage installation embodying this invention. Insulation used therein has been omitted for clarity.
  • FIGURE 2 is an enlarged cross sectional view taken on line 22 of FIGURE 1 showing in greater detail a vapor sealing arrangement as well as insulation used therein.
  • FIGURE 1 there is shown along the surface of the earth a plurality of paired foundation members 11 which can be partially buried, as indicated at 12 in FIGURE 2. While the foundation members are shown in the drawing as being of a particular shape, it is to be understood that other forms may be used. For example, piling might be substituted for the disclosed structure, or a single pair of substantial parallel horizontal foundations might be used in the place of the plurality of pairs shown. Formed within the body of each of the foundation members 11 is a U-shaped notch 13 in which is shown a continuous elongate trough 14 which can be made of steel, plastic, or other impervious materials.
  • liquid such as water
  • trough 14 Terminating in proximity to trough 14 are a plurality of support means such as I-beams 16 which are placed on or secured to the pairs of opposed foundation members 11.
  • the central portion of each of the beams is suspended over a pit or depression 17 formed in the earth and has attached thereto a plurality of clevises 15.
  • spring hangers 20 To these clevises are attached spring hangers 20 from which depend suspension means 18 which can be either flexible cable or rigid bar. It is to be understood that while these suspension means are shown to be of equal length in the drawings, it is contemplated that they can be of unequal length, depending upon the relative elevation of foundation members 11. Further, the spring hangers 20 may be omitted near the center of the tank if desired, or may be omitted entirely when the length of the installation is such that thermal contraction is relatively small.
  • a clevis 19 is attached at the lower end of each of the suspension means 18 and has secured thereto a container 21 which is suspended thereby above the bottom of pit 17. While a reactangular tank having a. square cross section is shown in the drawings, many other types of tanks may be usedfor this purpose, such as a cylindrical tank, or should the occasion warrant, a semicircular tank, to mention a few. Moreover, bracing or other stiffening members may be added to the tank as the circumstances demand. Such bracing has been omitted in the drawings for clarity, and inasmuch as particular bracing or stiffening arrangements will vary depending upon the size, shape and material of the tank and can be added by anyone skilled in the art. In addition, if it is desired, cribbing may be added beneath the tank without departing from. the spirit of this invention.
  • sulating material 22 which may be made of perlite, either loose or in bags, mineral wool, glass Wool or any other insulating materials which are well known and which will be obvious to one skilled in the art.
  • sulating material 22 which may be made of perlite, either loose or in bags, mineral wool, glass Wool or any other insulating materials which are well known and which will be obvious to one skilled in the art.
  • Contacting the insulating material can be a liquid-vapor barrier 23 which is applied to the sides of pit or depression 17.
  • the barrier may be formed from one or more of many wellknown materials such as asphalt, gunite, plastic, or a variety of other materials which are well known in the art.
  • Secured above pit 17 and resting upon I-beams 16, is a substantially impervious sheet or cover 24 having flanges 26 formed on all four edges thereof. This cover can be made of any impervious material such as steel, aluminum or other sheet metal, plastic, rubberized canvas or other materials. Flanges 26 extend into the liquid to store only 60,750 cubic
  • trough 14 which is disposed on all four sides of pit 17.
  • trough 14 which is disposed on all four sides of pit 17.
  • the flanges 26 could be fastened to foundation members 11 with the portion of the flanges between the members being buried.
  • a member could be provided between members 11 to which the flanges 26 could be fastened.
  • a quantity of material for instance, low temperature LPG is placed in container 21, after which cover 24 is placed thereon with flanges 26 extending into trough 14.
  • heat loss will, due to the presence of insulating materials 22, be maintained at a minimum, as will vapor losses due to the sealing arrangement made possible by flanges 26 and trough 14.
  • the lack of extensive diking will not be a factor inasmuch as the liquid within the container will flow into pit or depression 17 without attendant loss or adulteration of the surrounding countryside. Since exte-nsive dike work is not necessary, it is possible by this arrangement to better utilize a given surface area.
  • a reservoir comprising a depression in the ground, support means secured on at least two sides of said depression and extending thereacross, a plurality of cables connected 'to said support means and a container secured to said cables and suspended thereby within said depression above the bottom thereof.
  • a reservoir comprising a depression in the ground, a plurality of beams secured on opposite sides of said depression and extending thereacross elongate, suspension means depending from each of said beams toward the bottom of said depression, a clevis at the lower end of said means, and a container secured to said suspension means by said clevises and suspended thereby Within said depression above the bottom thereof.
  • a reservoir comprising a pit in the ground, a plurality of beams secured on opposite sides of said pit and extending thereacross, a plurality of elongated downwardly extending suspension members secured to each of said beams at the central portion thereof a. clevis at each end of said members, and a container secured to said suspension members by said olevises and suspended thereby within said pit above the bottom thereof.
  • a reservoir comprising a pit in the ground, support means secured on at least two sides of said pit and extending thereacross, suspension means connected to said support means, a container secured to said suspension means and suspended thereby within said pit above the bottom thereof, a substantially impervious sheet disposed above said container, and means for sealing the edges of said sheet to prevent escape of vapor from said pit.
