  • Patent number: 9598233
    Abstract: In accordance with one implementation, a floating cover system includes a plurality of cover-tethering mounts mounted along the periphery of a holding tank. Each of the cover-tethering mounts includes a guide portion insertable through a cover-holding element that is attached along a periphery of a holding tank cover. When secured to the plurality of cover-tethering mounts, the holding tank cover can rise and fall within the holding tank responsive to volumetric changes in the liquid and/or gas contained in the holding tank.
