In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a redox flow battery (RFB) may include a shell, an electrolyte storage tank assembly disposed in the shell, wherein at least a portion of the electrolyte storage tank assembly is supported by the shell, an electrochemical cell, and an electrolyte circulation system configured for fluid communication between the electrolyte storage tank assembly and the electrochemical cell. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the electrolyte storage tank assembly defines a tank assembly heat transfer system between an outer surface of the electrolyte storage tank assembly and an inner surface of the shell. In other embodiments, a pump assembly in the electrolyte circulation system is moveable between a first position and a second position. In other embodiments, a gas management system includes a first gas exchange device in fluid communication with the catholyte headspace and the anolyte.

Flow battery system

A method and apparatus for tracing sewer connections with RFID PIT tags consists of using at least one radio frequency identification (RFID) passive integrated transponder (PIT) tag embedded within a protective outer covering, and at least one RFID reader and antenna system to trace the flow of a fluid within a plumbing system, sewer lateral pipe, sanitary or storm sewer system. The RFID PIT tag and protective outer covering are introduced in one point within the plumbing system, sewer lateral pipe, sanitary or storm sewer system, such as by flushing a toilet. Subsequent collection, or detection of the RFID PIT tag at another location within a sewer lateral pipe, sanitary or storm sewer system is used to establish the presence of a hydraulic connection between the introduction and collection or detection points. The method is useful to identify whether a plumbing system or sewer lateral pipe is properly connected to a sewer system without the need to actively observe the presence of a visual tracing aid such as dye.
