Abstract

A bulk container of pressure dispensable product receives a supply of gas from a plurality of containers arranged in operative series and, optionally, nested. Gas pressure is supplied by mixing at least two components of a multiple component gas generating chemical system, in which the containers in series initially house alternating ones of the gas generating chemicals. Delivery tubes connect the containers, define the series, and supply chemical from one container to the next to generate gas and regulate pressure. Pressure generation is initiated by adding the appropriate chemical or pressurized gas to at least one container, such as the container operatively furthest from the bulk container.
