ATCP 93.050(114)(k) (k) “Portable tank” means an aboveground closed vessel that has a liquid capacity of 110 gallons or more; is not otherwise defined in this chapter; is equipped with skids, mountings or accessories to facilitate handling of the tank by mechanical means; and is not intended for fixed installation or for highway vehicle fueling. “Portable tank” includes intermediate bulk containers.
ATCP 93.050(114)(L)1.1. “Process tank” or “flow-through process tank” means a tank that forms an integral part of a production process through which there is a steady, variable, recurring, or intermittent flow of materials during the operation of the process and the tank is utilized to carry out or control the heating, cooling, mixing, blending, separating, metering, or chemical action of materials. The processing is done on a regular basis and it is the primary function of the tank.
ATCP 93.050(114)(L)2. 2. “Process tank” or “flow-through process tank” does not include a tank that is used for the storage of materials before their introduction into the production process or for the storage of finished products or by-products from the production process, or a tank that is only used to recirculate materials. A process tank would be considered a storage tank if the vessel is used as storage for a period exceeding 96 hours after the processing ends.
ATCP 93.050 Note Note: Process tanks are outside the scope of this chapter.
ATCP 93.050(114)(m) (m) “Product recovery tank” means a tank that forms an integral part of a ch. ATCP 93 regulated substance spill control system for a storage, processing or transfer area.
