TANK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18392061 titled 'TANK
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a tank with a liner made of multiple cylindrical components and a reinforcing layer on the outer circumference. The components are joined using heat-sealing technology, with absorbent materials integrated into the joints for added strength.
- The tank has a liner made of multiple cylindrical components.
- A reinforcing layer is placed on the outer circumference of the liner.
- The components are joined using heat-sealing technology.
- Absorbent materials are integrated into the joints for added strength.
- The bottom layer of the first joint portion contains a heat-sealable layer with absorbent material.
Potential Applications: 1. Storage tanks for liquids in industrial settings. 2. Water storage tanks for residential or commercial use. 3. Chemical storage tanks requiring leak-proof liners.
Problems Solved: 1. Ensures a secure and leak-proof lining for tanks. 2. Provides added strength and durability to tank liners. 3. Prevents potential environmental hazards from leaks or spills.
Benefits: 1. Increased safety and reliability of tank storage. 2. Extended lifespan of tanks due to reinforced liners. 3. Cost-effective solution for preventing leaks and spills.
Commercial Applications: The technology can be used in various industries such as chemical manufacturing, water treatment, and oil and gas storage facilities. It offers a reliable and durable solution for storing liquids safely.
Questions about Tank Liner Technology: 1. How does the heat-sealing technology improve the strength of the tank liner joints?
- The heat-sealing technology fuses the components together, creating a strong bond that prevents leaks.
2. What are the key advantages of using absorbent materials in the tank liner joints?
- Absorbent materials enhance the strength and durability of the joints, reducing the risk of leaks and spills.
Original Abstract Submitted
The tank has a liner configured by joining a plurality of liner components, each of which is at least partially cylindrical, and a reinforcing layer arranged on the outer circumference of the liner. The plurality of liner components includes a first liner component having a first joint portion and a second liner component having a second joint portion. The first joint portion has a plurality of resin layers, and the bottom layer of the first joint portion is a heat-sealable layer containing an absorbent. The second joint portion contains absorbent material. The first joint portion is laminated on the second joint portion, and the first joint portion and the second joint portion are joined by a heat-sealing portion.
