German term or phrase: Das Säurelager gehört als Nebenanlage zur Regeneration des KWW
This is taken from a technical article about the upgrading of an "acid storage facility" in a cold rolling mill.

My problem with this sentence is that I know that
Säurelager = acid storage facility
Nebenanlage = auxiliary system
Regeneration = regeneration
KWW = CRM (cold rolling mill)

However, I'm not sure how to put it all together because I don't understand the process fully. Is it that the acid storage facility is an auxiliary system which is used for regeneration in the CRM? It couldn't possibly mean that the acid storage facility belongs to the regeneration of the CRM, could it? Can anyone shed any light on this?
