  • Patent number: 10837590
    Abstract: An apparatus for retrieval of a pipeline pig from a discharge outlet of a pipeline includes a recovery tank with an upward-facing recovery opening, attached to an adjustable height support frame. The recovery tank is positioned below the discharge outlet, and the height of the support frame adjusted to hold the recovery opening of the tank as close as possible to the discharge outlet, to receive the pig and related fluid or solid discharge when the outlet is opened. Fluid and flowable solids recovered in the recovery tank can be evacuated from an extraction port. Multiple secondary environmental protections can optionally be used as well, including a secondary containment tray, side shields extending upwards from the recovery opening, or a cover to close the tank.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6896175
    Abstract: The divider is composed of a number of strips, at least one of which extends longitudinally and another of which extends transversely. The strips have slots for interconnecting the strips. Each slot is defined by spaced apart side edges which extend generally vertically from the top edge of the strip to an intermediate portion and which extend further to a terminal portion. Each strip has a thickness which is greater than the distance which separates the side edges of the slot in the intermediate portion but which is less than the distance which separates the side edges of the slot in the terminal portion.
