Secondary containment system for DEF storage container

Abstract

A secondary containment system used to transport and store a tank containing diesel exhaust fluid. The secondary containment system having a containment body comprising an end wall, a back wall, two side walls, a bottom, and a top, wherein the walls are integral to the bottom, and wherein the top can be displaced from the containment body. The containment body is constructed of a three-layer configuration comprising an inner layer, an outer layer, and a central layer sandwiched therebetween. The inner layer defines a chamber in which the tank containing diesel exhaust fluid is stored. The chamber is sized and shaped so that the tank is positioned in the chamber and defines a void between walls of the inner layer and the tank containing diesel exhaust fluid. The inner layer and outer layer are preferably constructed of a UV protected polyethylene, and the central layer is constructed of a 2″-2 lb. density polyurethane insulation material having an R17 value.

1 . A secondary containment system used to transport and store a tank containing diesel exhaust fluid, said secondary containment system comprising:
 a containment body comprising an end wall, a back wall, two side walls, a bottom, and a top, wherein the end wall, the back wall and the side walls are integral to the bottom, and wherein the top can be displaced from the containment body,   wherein the end wall, the back wall, the side walls, the bottom and the top are comprised of a three-layer configuration comprising an inner layer, a central layer and an outer layer, the central layer being sandwiched between the inner and outer layers, and wherein the inner layer and the central layer are wholly inside the outer layer,   wherein the inner layer defines a chamber in which a tank containing diesel exhaust fluid is stored, said chamber is sized and shaped so that the tank is positioned in the chamber and defines a void between walls of the inner layer and the tank containing diesel exhaust fluid,   wherein the inner and outer layers are constructed of a first material, and the central layer is constructed of a second material preferably an insulation material.   
     
     
         2 . The containment system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said tank containing diesel exhaust fluid is completely enclosed in said secondary containment system. 
     
     
         3 . The containment system as recited in  claim 2 , wherein said first material is a UV protected polyethylene. 
     
     
         4 . The containment system as recited in  claim 3 , wherein said second material is a 2″-2 lb. density polyurethane insulation material. 
     
     
         5 . The containment system as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said second material is an insulation material having an R17 value. 
     
     
         6 . A secondary containment system used to transport and store a tank containing diesel exhaust fluid, said secondary containment system comprising:
 a containment body comprising an end wall, a back wall, two side walls, a bottom, and a top, wherein the end wall, the back wall and the side walls are integral to the bottom, and wherein the top can be displaced from the containment body, wherein said containment body completely encloses a tank containing diesel exhaust fluid;   wherein the container body defines an inner layer integral to an outer layer, an inter-space between the inner and outer layers is defined by a central layer;   wherein the inner layer defines a chamber in which the tank containing diesel exhaust fluid is stored, said chamber is sized and shaped so that the tank is positioned in the chamber and defines a void between walls of the inner layer and the tank containing diesel exhaust fluid;   wherein the inner layer and outer layers are constructed of a plastic material, and the central layer is constructed of an insulation material.   
     
     
         7 . The containment system as recited in  claim 6 , wherein said inner and outer layers are constructed of a UV protected polyethylene. 
     
     
         8 . The containment system as recited in  claim 7 , wherein said central layer is constructed of a 2″-2 lb. density polyurethane insulation material. 
     
     
         9 . The containment system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said central layer is an insulation material having an R17 value. 
     
     
         10 . A secondary containment system used to transport and store a tank containing diesel exhaust fluid, said secondary containment system comprising:
 an enclosure that completely encloses a tank containing diesel exhaust fluid,   said enclosure including a top that can be displaced,   said enclosure further defines an inner wall, an outer wall, and a center disposed between said inner and outer walls,   said inner wall defines a chamber sized and shape to receive the tank containing diesel exhaust fluid,   wherein said inner and outer walls are constructed of a first material, and said center is disposed of a second material.   
     
     
         11 . The containment system as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said chamber further defines a void between the inner walls and the stored tank containing diesel exhaust fluid. 
     
     
         12 . The containment system as recited in  claim 10 , wherein said first material is a UV protected polyethylene. 
     
     
         13 . The containment system as recited in  claim 12 , wherein said second material is a 2″-2 lb. density polyurethane insulation material. 
     
     
         14 . The containment system as recited in  claim 13 , wherein said second material is an insulation material having an R17 value.
