Storage tanks play a crucial role in the industrial area as they are used to store any type of substances, including those that are dangerous, flammable or toxic. These are designed so they can be adapted to a wide range of environments and needs in different industrial facilities, regulated in Chile by the "Storage of Hazardous Substances Regulations" of the DS43 of 2016.
