sandblasting, painting,

cleanup or concerns about contamina tion due to surface failures). Most bolt ed stainless tanks are designed to

expand their size for a nominal fee by adding plates to the bottom and mak ing the unit taller. Another area, and probably the most important to every one, is the residual value, if the tank is no longer needed. Unlike the factorycoated, field-coated or concrete tanks, stainless has a high residual value in the recycling chain because it does not lose value and requires little, if any,

stormwater storage and management and waste treatment plants. Bolted stainless tanks are becoming very pop ular in the groundwater cleanup area, from collecting leachate from landfills to industidal site groundwater remediations.

They are used extensively in wastewater plants because of their durability in storage, processing and clarifying of the harsh products and vary in size from very small to very large. Examples of

types of tanks are sludge storage, clarifiers, waste treatment, digester tanks, bio towers (trickling filter tanks) and more. They are and have been used for odour control, air pollution control and for their environmental appearances. These tanks have also been designed and used for methane generators.

agencies for cleanup. Bolted stainless tanks are very easy to relocate or ship new via common carrier because they are shipped on pallets with hardware boxed separate ly. These tanks are accepted universal ly and are growing in popularity. They are very popular in water treatment from pre-treatment to potable water storage. These water tanks can be used in conjunction with composite water towers, reservoirs, standpipes or pretreatment tanks. They are also used in
