Waste Water covers a wide range of industrial and municipal process water, rinse water and runoff that may contain dissolved salts, acids or alkalis, oils, solids and organic matter. Wastewater tanks are used for collection, equalization, pH neutralization, settling and holding before treatment or disposal. Because composition varies, identify the worst-case chemicals, pH and temperature before selecting a wastewater storage tank. Use the compatibility ratings to choose the right tank resin, fittings and gaskets.
