Abstract:
Fluid storage and leak containment comprising (a) a fluid storage vessel comprising at least one vessel having an interior, an exterior, and an outlet opening between the interior and the exterior; (b) a fluid flow fitting sealably connected to the outlet opening and adjacent the exterior of the at least one vessel, wherein the fluid flow fitting is adapted for withdrawing reactive gas from the interior of the vessel; and (c) a containment enclosure having an interior, an exterior, an open end, and an extraction port adapted for the withdrawal of gas from the interior of the containment enclosure, wherein the open end is adapted to fit over and around the fluid flow fitting such that the containment enclosure surrounds the fluid flow fitting and is adapted to collect any reactive gas leaking from the fluid flow fitting.
