Abstract
A trailer has a fluid storage and supply container supported on the bed of the trailer, and a containment wall surrounding the fluid storage and supply container to provide an open containment region. A drain valve controls the flow of fluid collecting in the containment region. A filter separates the fluid from any water draining from the containment region.
Claims27
A mobile fluid storage and supply apparatus comprising:
- a fluid storage and supply container;
- a trailer including a bed and a containment wall and supporting the fluid storage and supply container;
- the containment wall connected to the bed and surrounding the fluid storage and supply container, the containment wall and the bed defining an open fluid containment region around the fluid storage and supply container for at least partially containing a fluid leak from the fluid storage and supply container;
- at least one stanchion operatively associated with the trailer for use in orienting the fluid storage and supply container to a desired orientation relative to the ground when the trailer is stationary;
- and
- a controller operatively associated with at least one of the at least one stanchion, the controller programmed to adjust at least one of the at least one stanchion to orient the fluid storage and supply container to the desired orientation.
