Benefits of technology

[0006]Briefly, the present invention provides a new and improved apparatus for loading and unloading waste fluids into a transport truck for loading, unloading and transporting such fluids. The transport truck has a storage tank mounted on a chassis bed frame and a motor furnishing transport power to move the truck. The loading and unloading apparatus for waste fluids includes a positive displacement d...

Problems solved by technology

The prior vacuum pumps required large amounts of air to move through the pumps, and as a result the air through the pumps came into contact with the products being transferred.
Thus the transfer pumps gave rise to possible emission of the same type of undesirable vapors from the products sought to be transferred ...

Embodiment Construction

[0018]In the drawings, there is provided a fluid transport truck 10 according to the present invention for loading, transporting, and unloading waste fluids. For purposes of this application, waste fluids can include fluids containing volatile organic compounds (VOC), petrochemical or other waste products, sludge, wastewater, hazardous or malodourous material, or any material objectionable because of the presence of petrochemicals, odor, or other undesirable vapors during loading or unloading, including fluids subject to regulations at the Federal or state level. The products include any type of fluid which is required to be treated because of environmental concerns, special handling requirements, or other reasons. As used herein, fluid means vapors, gases, liquids, sludges, semi-solids, or anything else that can flow through a pipe. The transport truck 10 has a storage tank 12 mounted on a chassis bed or frame 14, and a motor 16 furnishing transport power to move the truck 10.

Abstract

A transport truck for removing and transporting waste fluids, the transport truck having a storage tank mounted on a frame, a motor furnishing transport power to move the truck, and a fluid transfer apparatus. The fluid transfer apparatus includes a diaphragm pump in fluid communication with the storage tank, and having a first side and a second side. The first side has a first coupling configured for attachment to an external structure, and the second side has a second coupling connected to the storage tank by a fluid conduit. The fluid transfer apparatus is closed, so that the fluids within the fluid transfer apparatus are substantially separated from ambient air.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a truck for transporting waste fluids, and in particular a truck for loading, unloading, and transporting waste fluids with reduced emissions of petrochemical or other undesirable vapors during loading or unloading.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]In a number of industrial facilities, it is necessary to periodically conduct what are known as maintenance, startup, or shutdown (MSS) operations. During MSS operations it is required to extract waste fluids from one or more of the involved storage tanks or vessels in the facility. In the past, so far as is known, conventional transport trucks with storage tanks were loaded with the extracted waste fluids for transport to a treatment facility for compliance with environmental regulations.[0005]So far as is known, in the past vacuum pumps have been used to provide the extraction forces during loading of the waste fluids into the tru...
