Identification tag for fluid containment drum
First Claim
1. A method of tagging a fluid containment drum, the method comprising:
- providing a fluid containment drum and a drum insert having an upper portion and a tube extending therefrom;
operably attaching an identification tag configured as a card to the upper portion of the drum insert, the identification tag comprising at least one laminate and a RFID member presented thereon, the RFID member comprising information associated with at least one of the fluid containment drum and contents thereof; and
operably coupling the upper portion of the drum insert having the identification tag attached thereto with an opening presented on the fluid containment drum, such that the tube extends into an interior of the fluid containment drum for accessing contents, wherein the identification tag is detachable from the upper portion of the drum insert when the drum insert is not coupled with the opening and not detachable from the upper portion of the drum insert without damaging the identification tag when the drum insert is coupled with the opening.

5. A container for highly pure fluids, the container comprising:
-
a fluid containment drum and a drum insert having an upper portion and a tube extending therefrom;
an identification tag configured as a card operably attached to the upper portion of the drum insert, the identification tag comprising at least one laminate and a RFID member presented thereon, the RFID member comprising information associated with at least one of the fluid containment drum fluids contained therein, wherein the upper portion of the drum insert having the identification tag attached thereto is operably coupled with an opening presented on the fluid containment drum, such that the tube extends into an interior of the fluid containment drum for accessing the fluids, wherein the identification tag is detachable from the drum insert when the drum insert is not coupled with the opening and not detachable from the drum insert without damaging the identification tag when the drum insert is coupled with the opening. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method of inhibiting dispensing contents contained in a fluid containment drum to a process incompatible with the contents, the method comprising:
-
providing a fluid containment drum having a first RFID member associated therewith, the fluid containment drum having an opening defined thereon and a dispensing mechanism operably coupled to the opening and configured to dispense contents of the fluid containment drum, wherein the first RFID member comprises a first set of information associated with the contents;
providing equipment having a second RFID member associated therewith, the equipment configured for operably coupling with the dispensing mechanism, wherein the second RFID member comprises a second set of information associated with the equipment; and
reading the first and second sets of information to verify that the equipment is compatible with the contents before the contents can be dispensed from the fluid containment drum to the equipment. - View Dependent Claims (15)

16. A method of filling and controlling the use of highly pure contents of a polymer fluid containment drum, the method comprising:
-
filling a polymer drum having a bung presented thereon with a highly pure fluid at a fill location;
seating a drum insert comprising a tag having a RFID member in the bung at the fill location, such that the tag cannot be detached from the drum insert without damaging the tag while the drum insert is seated in the bung;
providing the RFID member with data relating to the highly pure fluid;
operably coupling a closure on the drum insert; and
shipping the filled polymer drum with drum insert, tag, and closure to a point of use. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A fluid containment and dispensing system comprising:
-
a fluid containment drum having an opening defined thereon and an interior for containing highly pure fluid;
a drum insert operably coupled to the opening, the drum insert having an upper portion and a tube extending therefrom into the interior of the fluid containment drum;
an identification tag having an aperture defined thereon operably attached to the drum insert, the identification tag comprising at least one laminate and a RFID member presented thereon, the RFID member comprising first information associated with at least one of the fluid containment drum or the highly pure fluid; and
a second identification member operably attached to at least one of the fluid containment drum or drum insert, the second identification member comprising second information associated with at least one of the fluid containment drum or the contents thereof, wherein the first and second information are used as a redundant mechanism to inhibit dispensing the highly pure fluid to a process incompatible with the contents. - View Dependent Claims (20)
