Patent ID: 6990908

Claim:
A method for transporting a material that is destabilized in the presence of a destabilizing contaminant, the method comprising: selecting a transportation subassembly comprising a structural body having forming a cavity constructed and arranged to receive the material and having a rupture apparatus rupturable at a predetermined pressure formed within the cavity to form fluidic communication between the cavity and the atmosphere; inspecting the cavity for defects and for presence of the destabilizing contaminant; dry air purging the cavity; loading the material into the cavity; activating a breather assembly to restrict the destabilizing contaminant from within the cavity; transporting the material to a desired location having a storage compartment; operatively connecting a dry air line to the cavity to form fluidic communication between the cavity and the storage compartment; unloading the material into the storage compartment; and maintaining the breather assembly in an activated position to maintain the cavity in a destabilizing contaminant-free condition.
