SPILL CONTAINMENT APPARATUS FOR STORAGE TANKS

摘要

A spill containment apparatus includes a container (30) adapted to be coupled to an end of a riser pipe (22) of a storage tank (12) and having a proximal end and a distal end. A tubular socket (128) is formed in the container (30) adjacent its distal end for receiving the riser pipe (22) therein. The socket (128) includes a securing mechanism (126) for securing the container (30) to the riser pipe (22), wherein the securing mechanism (126) is spaced proximally of the distal end of the container (30) to define the socket (128). The socket (128) is configured to allow the riser pipe (22) to support and balance the container (30) during coupling of the container (30) to the riser pipe (22).
