Bulk Tank

BULK TANK ¦Description¦ A bulk tank is a specially manufactured tank that can be used to store a variety of goods, including liquids, gases, chemicals, powders, grains, construction materials and minerals. The tanks are produced in a wide array of sizes, shapes and types. Examples of bulk tanks include mobile trailers hauled by tractor-trailer vehicles, stilt-supported tanks raised above ground level, tanks that rest upon the ground and subterranean tanks. Some bulk tanks are used to transport materials with special internal pressure or temperature requirements. These tanks often use special equipment to maintain a stable internal environment. A bulk tank provides safe storage for solids, liquids, gases and a variety of compounds and mixtures, as well as protection from any hazardous materials. The amount that a bulk tank can hold varies with the type. Typically, bulk tanks of any sort are used to store or transport large amounts of any given material. Bulk tanks can be constructed for whatever volume is required, whether small enough for a tractor-trailer or large enough for a storage silo.
