tank

A permanent fixture used to store waste. Tanks can also be used for the treatment of hazardous waste because of their structural strength and versatility. Tanks, when used to contain hazardous waste at treatment, storage and disposal facilities, are subject to regulation.

Archibus includes tanks as a type of area for storing waste. Optionally, a tank might be treated and maintained in Archibus as an equipment asset.

A tank is filled and then emptied. This is in contrast to other containers that are typically transported with their contents for processing or disposal.
