1. A device for storing and transporting bulk material, comprising:
a base container; and
a connection body detachably connectable with the base container,
wherein the base container and the connection body in a connected state form a sealing section with which the base container and the connection body are connected gas-tight with one another,
wherein the sealing section comprises a first sealing contour formed by the base container and a second sealing contour formed by the connection body, which, in the connected state, are in gas-tight contact on one another,
wherein the connection body comprises a filling connection, that can be closed gas-tight, for introducing and emptying of the bulk material, and
an adapter body with a first passage opening and a second passage opening,
wherein the adapter body in a region of the first passage opening comprises a first sealing section comprising a first sealing contour and in a region of the second passage opening comprises a second sealing section comprising a second sealing contour such that the adapter body is connected gas-tight with the base container at the first passage opening and the connection body at the second passage opening,
wherein the adapter body in a connected state is arranged between the base container and the connection body,
a plurality of enclosure facilities, wherein each enclosure facility encompasses an interior volume into which the base container is placeable in between two clamping elements, wherein one clamping element covers a top of the base container and the other clamping element covers a bottom of the base container, and comprises an enclosure container and an enclosure upper shell that are gas-tight connectable with one another, the plurality of enclosure facilities arranged such that at least one enclosure facility is stacked on top of another enclosure facility without the base container of one enclosure facility being in contact with another base container of an adjacent enclosure facility.
