Abstract
A collection vessel for receiving a fluid from a fluid evacuation system includes an internal volume for fluid, a support member within the internal volume, and one or more reinforcement members mounted to the support member and maintaining the internal volume of the collection vessel. Fluid evacuation systems for evacuating fluid from a reservoir include a vacuum source and one or more fluid extraction apparatuses, each including an extraction device and a collection vessel for receiving the fluid including an extraction valve in fluid communication with the internal volume and with the extraction device, a vacuum source valve wherein the vacuum source valve is in fluid communication with the internal volume and the vacuum source, and a drain valve in fluid communication with the internal volume and a storage tank. During a fluid evacuation process the internal volume is subjected to vacuum pressure generated by the vacuum source.
