Abstract
A tank system for storing and containing liquid chemicals has a poly tank and a containment basin. The poly tank is adapted for storing and discharging liquid chemicals. The containment basin has an open top and is adapted to receive liquid chemicals in the event of leakage from the tank. The tank is nested in the containment basin such that a lower portion of the tank lies within the basin and an upper portion of the tank covers the open top of the basin. The upper portion of the tank has an inlet and an outlet.
Claims64
A system for dispensing liquid chemicals comprising:
- (a) a poly tank adapted for storing and discharging liquid chemicals;
