tartályos

Tartályos is a Hungarian adjective derived from tartály, meaning tank or reservoir. The term describes something that relates to, or is designed to use or contain a tank or storage vessel. It is commonly applied to systems, equipment, or installations where storage of liquids or gases in a tank is a central feature.

In engineering and industry, tartályos systems are widespread. They include liquid storage and buffering in chemical processing plants, water supply and wastewater facilities, fuel and lubricants handling, and agricultural biogas or slurry processes. Such systems can employ above-ground or underground tanks, with shapes ranging from cylindrical to rectangular, and materials like steel, concrete, or plastics chosen for chemical compatibility, pressure and safety requirements, and durability. The design often addresses issues such as tank integrity, leakage prevention, ventilation, and proper operation of pumps and valves.

In environmental and energy contexts, tartályos solutions appear in rainwater harvesting, thermal storage for energy management, and emergency storage scenarios. The term also appears in everyday technical language to describe equipment such as storage tanks, bulk containment units, and process installations that rely on contained volumes.
