The bag is made of a multi-layer laminated film which comprises an outermost layer of a polyethylene film containing an inorganic filler in an amount of from 20 to 80% by weight and an innermost layer of a polyethylene film containing an inorganic filler in an amount of from 10 to 40% by weight, the outermost layer having on the ...

A transporter vehicle comprises two lifting devices which carry respective jacks and which can be joined at their ends by cross bars to form a rectangular dolly with a central opening therein. The lifting devices each have front and rear wheels so that the dolly can be rolled on floor surfaces. In practice, the two are placed on opposite sides of a load seated on a floor in the opening between those devices, the jacks are placed under the load, the cross bars are assembled with the side frames, ...

A reusable skid for moving heavy bulk materials comprising a platform and a plurality of shock-absorbing skid feet. The platform, in its preferred embodiment, comprises a plurality of longitudinal and transverse beams forming an upper surface for mounting bulk materials. The preferred embodiment of the skid feet have leg members that are slidably mounted to the longitudinal beams. The skid feet also have elastomeric springs mounted between a spring base in the leg members that bias the longitudi...

The conditions for electrowinning Zn, Ni, Co and Cd metals from baths based on chlorinated ammino complexes of Me(NH.sub.3).sub.n Cl.sub.m type are substantially improved by the addition of small levels of dissolved Br, which considerably reduce the cell voltage without exerting any negative effects on cathodic current yields.

The modular shelf system disclosed allows for shelf construction of varying heights and/or configurations. The modular shelf system includes a first set of shelf members spaced vertically from each other and a second set of shelf members spaced vertically from each other. A plurality of interlocking leg members is coupled to the shelf members for supporting and spacing the shelf members vertically from each other. A shelf connecting clip is provided for connecting at least one shelf member of th...

A system for containing and neutralizing a heavy vapor cloud from a potential source of hazardous vapor, such as HF from an HF alkylation unit, comprising a primary containment enclosure for containing and neutralizing a major portion of the vapor in the event of a leak, and a secondary fence line spaced from the primary enclosure for absorbing the vapor as the cloud passes therethrough.

A heavy hydrocarbon oil, a substantial portion of which boils above 524.degree. C., is subjected to hydrocracking with a fractionated heavy oil recycle stream containing active additive particles. In the process, a slurry feed of (1) fresh heavy hydrocarbon oil feedstock and a heavy hydrocarbon recycle and (2) from about 0.01-4% by weight (based on fresh feedstock) of iron sulphate additive particles having sizes less than 45 .mu.m, is passed upwardly through a confined vertical hydrocracking zo...
