For most forms of biomedical waste, stainless steel tanks server as effective containment units. Biomedical waste or product can be especially dangerous because of its capacity to carry disease that can lead to epidemics amongst humans or animals. Stainless steel tanks offer airtight options that can successfully prevent contamination both from the outside elements and to the outside elements. Stainless steel is also not easily corroded, which adds a long-term reliability to their use. Acids or other corrosive elements present in many forms of biomedical waste do not pose a significant threat (in most cases) to these tanks or storage units.
Ethanol is a product that is ever increasing in popularity and use as cost of petroleum continues to rise across the entire globe. While it is an alternative to petroleum based fuel, it offers most of the same dangers. The chemical is highly flammable and can be toxic to both the environment as well as humans/animals if ingested (or even inhaled in quantity). As such, proper storage of these fuels is a must. While stainless steel tanks and other expensive metals offer possibilities, plastic storage units are most commonly used for ethanol due to its relative low cost, abundance, and plastic also offers resistance to sparks and electrical currents - reducing the risk of a freak fire.
Industrial waste is most feared for its potential harm to the environment as well as the possibility of carrying cancer-causing agents. Due to these dangers, it is typically stored deep underground out of reach of both people and the elements. In these situations, fiberglass tanks offer a good option due to their strength and reliability. Underground leakage could lead to many problems, including exposure to the water supply, so using tanks that are strong enough to hold up against underground pressure while remaining sealed is a must.
