  • Publication number: 20240025601
    Abstract: A two-part plug assembly is disclosed for a drip-proof spout on an aseptic flexible container for flowable materials. The two-part plug assembly may include a plug and a plug insert, wherein the plug insert may include a flow inhibitor such as a baffle or valve. In a first step, the plug assembly is removably placed in a first position on a spout prior to aseptic filling. During filling, the plug assembly is removed. After filling, the plug insert assembly is replaced in a second position further down the spout wherein the plug insert fixedly engages the spout. When fixedly engaged to the spout, the plug insert remains inside the spout when the plug is removed prior to a user dispensing the flowable material. The flow inhibitor in the plug insert provides protection from leaking when the flexible container is inverted or inadvertently squeezed.

  • Publication number: 20170191344
    Abstract: A method of deploying a deep anode in a cathodic protection system including an anode assembly, a one-piece vent pipe assembly and a reel is disclosed. The anode assembly includes elongated anode. The vent pipe assembly includes a tube having a distal end and an apertured portion having an array of holes in it. A fabric sleeve extends about the apertured portion. The tube, the sleeve and the anode assembly are coiled up on a reel and uncoiled therefrom for extension into the bore hole. The holes in the tube enable gases to vent from the bore hole through the tube. The tube has a predetermined nominal internal diameter sufficient to enable a viscous settable material to be pumped into the tube to seal its interior when it is no longer desired to vent gases.

  • Patent number: 9410253
    Abstract: An anode assembly and method for installing it in a cathodic protection system for an aboveground storage tank is disclosed. The anode assembly basically comprises an elongated electrically conductive anode, a fabric housing and sand backfill. The fabric housing is a hollow member in which the sand is located and through which the anode extends. The anode includes portions extending out of the housing for connection to the cathodic protection system. The anode assembly is arranged to be installed on a flat prepared surface below the bottom of the storage tank, whereupon the anode assembly's weight hold it flat on that surface without the need for staking or other means to hold the assembly flat. The ground with the anode assembly can then be backfilled to the level of the bottom of the storage tank.
