säiliökokonaisuus

A säiliökokonaisuus, often translated as tank container or tank unit, refers to a standardized intermodal container designed for the transport of liquids, gases, or powders. These containers are constructed from robust materials, typically stainless steel, to withstand the pressures and corrosive properties of various substances. Their design prioritizes safety, containment, and ease of handling during multimodal transportation, which can include road, rail, and sea.

The primary function of a säiliökokonaisuus is to provide a secure and efficient method for moving bulk commodities. They are built to international standards, ensuring compatibility with standard lifting equipment and transport infrastructure worldwide. This standardization facilitates seamless transfers between different modes of transport, reducing the need for transloading and minimizing the risk of spills or contamination.

Säiliökokonaisuudet come in various sizes, with the most common being 20-foot ISO tank containers. They are equipped with safety features such as pressure relief valves, emergency shut-off systems, and robust framing for protection during transit. The type of material transported dictates the specific design and internal coatings of the tank, catering to a wide range of products from food-grade liquids to hazardous chemicals and liquefied gases. Their reusability and durability make them an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for bulk logistics.
