The invention relates to an edible tubular collagen film which has a closure at either of their ends. The closure is formed by an edible solid ring-like element which tightens the end portion of casing and seals the outlet of the same, in order to stop the filling mass upon beginning of a sausage stuffing process, whereby in such a process one can rescue the initial filled sausage for its further processing, whereafter the ring disappears. This edible closing element is characterized by being of an edible, and thermoplastic composition, which is preferably based on collagen or gelatine. The solid composition has a low melting temperature and becomes adhesive at fluid state onto the surface of a collagen film which contains a certain level of moisture. The strong cohesiveness of the material of said composition in the fluid state as well as the so narrow difference between its melting temperature and the temperature of solidification, makes that a welding of said material to be set very quickly. The closure can be made before or after the shirring of the collagen casing and the present invention provides also a process to perform such a closure by heat welding the closing element on the casing material.

A modular fuel dispensing and containment assembly for storing fuel in at least one fuel tank and for pumping the fuel to a group of fuel dispensers. The assembly has a reinforced concrete vault located underground which contains a fuel tank within its interior. The fuel tank is separated from the interior walls of the vault. The fuel tank has a turbine corridor on its lid, which corridor has an interior volume which leads from the fuel tank to a series of piping corridors. The turbine corridor and the piping corridors are all underground and the piping corridors lead to dispensing modules which are located under the dispensers or gas pumps. The dispenser modules and piping corridors are all sufficiently large to permit the entry of service personnel to their interiors. The interiors of the various corridors and modules form a single interconnected air volume. The result is a fuel dispensing and containment assembly wherein the vault and corridors and dispensing modules act as a secondary containment against any contaminant leaking from the primary piping or tanks. It also permits complete visual inspection of the primary containment and physical access to all its parts at any time.

The closing of tubular casings containing foodstuffs by mounting a binder on a constriction of the casing involves the traditional problem of a high waste percentage due to the binders either damaging the casing material or sliding off the constriction. A method and a binder are proposed which makes it possible to obtain a very strong clamping of the binder without damaging the casing material, and, in connection with tight plastic casings, it is even possible to provide a "super tight" closure, by ranging the constriction with an oblong cross section between opposed straight clamping beams, which are forced together so as to produce a controlled deformation flowing of the casing material.
