Apparatus and method for use in the transportation of fluids and particulate matter

摘要

An apparatus (1) for transporting fluid or particulate matter in a container (40) comprises an outer body (20) installable in use within the container (40) and a liner (10) fittable within the outer body (20). The liner (10) is provided with a valve (11) for loading and unloading the fluid or particulate matter and the outer body (20) is provided with one or more expandable chambers (21) for reducing the volume of internal void space between the outer body (20) and the liner (10). Inflation of the chambers (21) reduces the volume of internal void space between the outer body (20) and the liner (10) to prevent excessive dynamic forces from being set up within the container (40).
