The age-old approach for containing large volumes of water, particularly contaminated water, has remained mostly unchanged since the advent of geomembrane liners half a century ago – dig a hole in the ground and line it. While this can solve the immediate need for bulk storage, it introduces new challenges that, in today’s world, need to be addressed, namely sustainability. The Concept Tank™ was developed to address this concern and, over the last decade, has delivered ongoing value to operators across various industries. This article delves into the technical specifications and advantages of the Concept Tank™, showcasing how it elevates water management practices.
