DEVICE FOR DRAINING OR STORING VISCOUS MATERIALS

摘要

The invention relates to a device for draining or storing viscous materials which are, for example, removed from a process as a result of exothermic events. According to the invention, said device comprises at least one unit (1, 2, 3, 4) which has an inlet (11, 21, 22, 31, 32, 41) for the viscous material and an outlet (10, 20, 41, 42) and which is at least partly filled with a non-flammable liquid which is inert in relation to the viscous material. Said unit can be configured in the shape of a pipe (1, 2, 3) or container (4). Preferably, several pipe-shaped units can be connected to each other or to a container-shaped unit (4). The drained solution can then be transported to the container (4) through the pipes (1, 2, 3).
