Abstract:
A shippable liquid storage and dispensing apparatus includes a collapsible liner arranged within a container, with a dispense head coupled to the container, suitable for handling oxygen- and moisture-sensitive materials. The dispense head includes a pressurization gas passage, a pressurization gas valve, a liquid passage, a liquid valve, a liner gas passage, and a liner gas valve, wherein each valve may have an associated quick connect fitting. The dispense head remains attached to the container during inert gas purging, liner filling, container shipment, and liquid dispensing. Pressurized inert gas may be maintained in the liner overlying liquid-containing material during shipment of the coupled dispense head and container. The container may have an extended chime to provide a protective zone that contains the entirety of the dispense head.

Claim (Index 15):
A fluid handling method utilizing a substantially rigid container containing a collapsible liner and a dispense head coupled to a mouth of the container and comprising a liquid passage in fluid communication with an interior of the liner, a liner gas passage in fluid communication with the interior of the liner, a pressurization gas passage in fluid communication with an interstitial space between the liner and the container, a liquid valve in fluid communication with the liquid passage, a liner gas valve in fluid communication with the liner gas passage, and a pressurization gas valve in fluid communication with the pressurization gas passage, the method comprising:\n supplying inert gas through the dispense head to an interior of the liner and inflating the liner; following the inert gas supplying step, removing inert gas from the interior of the liner through the dispense head to at least partially deflate the liner; following removing inert gas from the interior step, supplying a liquid-containing material through the dispense head to at least partially fill the interior of the liner with the liquid-containing material while allowing at least a portion of the inert gas within the liner to escape through the dispense head; and following the liquid-containing material supplying step, closing the liquid supply valve.
