Intermediate bulk containers (also known as IBC tank, IBC tote, IBC, or pallet tank) are industrial-grade containers engineered for the mass handling, transport, and storage of liquids, semi-solids, pastes, or solids. [1] The two main categories of IBC tanks are flexible IBCs and rigid IBCs. [2] Many IBCs are reused or repurposed.
Caged IBC totes are thermoplastic blow-mold engineered, often, from virgin high-density polyethylene (), a BPA free, strong plastic. Caged tote engineering is a top port inlet with cap for filling of cargo (commonly 6") with a bottom discharge outlet port--common is 2" ball valves--and an integrated pallet base skid for maneuvering the IBC.
A rainwater catchment or collection (also known as "rainwater harvesting") system can yield 1,000 litres (260 US gal) of water from 1 cm (0.4 in) of rain on a 100 m 2 (1,100 sq ft) roof. Rainwater tanks are installed to make use of rain water for later use, reduce mains water use for economic or environmental reasons, and aid self-sufficiency.
Its capacity is normally around 1,000 kg or 2,200 lb, but the larger units can store even more. A FIBC designed to transport one metric ton (0.98 long tons; 1.1 short tons) of material will itself only weigh 5–7 lb (2.3–3.2 kg). Transporting and loading is done on either pallets or by lifting it from the loops. Bags are made with either one ...
An elevated water tank, also known as a water tower, will create a pressure at the ground-level outlet of 1 kPa per 10.2 centimetres (4.0 in) or 1 psi per 2.31 feet (0.70 m) of elevation. Thus a tank elevated to 20 metres creates about 200 kPa and a tank elevated to 70 feet creates about 30 psi of discharge pressure, sufficient for most ...
Food-grade tank - a standard tank container which can only be loaded with foodgrade products; Reefer tank - a tank with the ability to cool ("refigerate") the product to be transported; Gas tank - a tank that is suitable for the transport of gases; Silo tank - a tank for the transport of grains and powders; T1 ISO tank container (for wine and ...
A portable water tank is a temporary collapsible tank designed for the reserve storage of water in firefighting, emergency relief, and military applications. These tanks can be either supported or unsupported. The supported tanks have a steel or aluminum frame and range in size from 600 to 5,000 US gallons (500 to 4,160 imp gal; 2,300 to 18,900 ...
Then scrub the inside of the tank with a detergent, and hot water mixture. [16] Disinfect: Fill the tank a quarter full with clean water. Sprinkle 80 grams of granular high-strength calcium hypochlorite (HSCH) into the tank for every 1000 litres total capacity of the tank. Fill the tank completely with clean water, close the lid and leave to ...
