Abstract

A tank for transporting fluids on a truck chassis includes a front wall, side walls, a back wall, a top, and a floor. Interior stairs extend from the floor to an opening in the top to allow stair access into the interior with integrated safety handrails on the fill port cover. Stair toe kicks act as internal transverse baffles to help control fluid motion and surging. The stairs also act as a structural stiffener between longitudinal baffles. Horizontal baffles assist in controlling fluid motion and surging. Formed baffles provide strength and stiffness. A baffle interlocking system improves joint integrity and aids manufacturing. Formed outer skins provide structural strength for the tank. Ports located in front and rear bulkheads may be used for tank ventilation or, depending on local safety codes, as secondary access points.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims the full benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 579,543, entitled "Baffled Fluid Tank with Stairway Access," filed December 22, 2011, the All teachings are incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] The present invention relates to an improved tank for conveying fluids and, more particularly, to a tank having a wide inlet-outlet opening, stairs and horizontal baffles. [0004] Dust control and mitigation is an important issue for many industries. For example, in the mining industry, general construction industry, and road construction industry, dust presents potential risks and health problems in the workplace and surrounding areas. Dust may affect the safety of operations by reducing visibility and disrupting traffic patterns. Dust can also cause potential environmental problems due to adverse effects on air quality, which can lead to long-term health problems and can make general work...
