The present disclosure relates to corner profiles and/or corner reinforcement for liners and linings that are suitable for use with tanks and other storage/containment vessels, such as process tanks, immersion tanks, indoor or outdoor containment pits, gravity feed conduits (e.g., concrete trench, canal, or drain, etc.) for transferring or conveying liquid, grain storage tanks or containers (e.g., dielectric or electrically non-conductive liners for grain storage, etc.), etc. The present disclosure also relates to tanks and other storage/containment vessels including liners and linings with corner profiles and/or corner reinforcement. Additionally, the present disclosure relates to methods, systems, and apparatus for providing corner profiles and/or corner reinforcement for liners and linings.
An apparatus for lining a storage/containment vessel including a plurality of walls defining an internal volume usable for storage/containment of material, the walls including at least one pair of adjacent walls that intersect perpendicularly to thereby define at least one internal corner therebetween having a perpendicular profile, the apparatus comprising an elongate member having a hollow cross section, the elongate member positionable within the storage/containment vessel along the at least one internal corner and configured to change a profile of the at least one internal corner from the perpendicular profile to a non-perpendicular and/or cornerless profile.
A storage/containment vessel comprising:
A method of lining a storage/containment vessel including a plurality of walls defining an internal volume usable for storage/containment of material, the walls including at least one pair of adjacent walls that intersect perpendicularly to thereby define at least one internal corner therebetween having a perpendicular profile, the method comprising positioning an elongate member within the storage/containment vessel along the at least one internal corner, whereby a profile of the at least one internal corner is changed from the perpendicular profile to a non-perpendicular and/or cornerless profile, wherein the elongate member has a hollow cross section.
