Benefits of technology

[0015]The inner, outer and central layers that define the secondary containment system have the primary task of maintaining the temperature of the DEF storage tank during transport and storage. The secondary containment system including the central layer assists in insulating all sides of the DEF tank from varying temperature conditions. In addition, the three-layer containment system protects the DEF storage tank during transport and storage.

Problems solved by technology

PM has been linked to higher incidences of childhood asthma, among other health hazards.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]The apparatus of the present invention is directed to a transport and storage containment system for storing and handling diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). More particularly, the present invention discloses a secondary containment system that stores and protects the tank containing DEF. In the preferred embodiment, the secondary containment system with the stored DEF is delivered to a fuel island and hooked up to a dispensing pump for retail through truck stops alongside interstate routes, through truck terminals, and other retail outlets. In the broadest context, the secondary containment system for DEF storage container as disclosed consists of components configured and correlated with respect to each other so as to obtain the desired objective.

[0020]Referring to FIGS. 1-2, the present invention designated as numerical 10, discloses a secondary containment system which is used as a transport and storage container for storing a tank 100 containing DEF. The container 10 of the prese...

Abstract

A secondary containment system used to transport and store a tank containing diesel exhaust fluid. The secondary containment system having a containment body comprising an end wall, a back wall, two side walls, a bottom, and a top, wherein the walls are integral to the bottom, and wherein the top can be displaced from the containment body. The containment body is constructed of a three-layer configuration comprising an inner layer, an outer layer, and a central layer sandwiched therebetween. The inner layer defines a chamber in which the tank containing diesel exhaust fluid is stored. The chamber is sized and shaped so that the tank is positioned in the chamber and defines a void between walls of the inner layer and the tank containing diesel exhaust fluid. The inner layer and outer layer are preferably constructed of a UV protected polyethylene, and the central layer is constructed of a 2″-2 lb. density polyurethane insulation material having an R17 value.
