Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci / Manufacture of styrene monomer
French term or phrase: cuve comprenant deux bacs de storage
Company XXX has decided to build a new styrene monomer plan which requires two bacs de stockage (storage tanks) for the supply of benzene.

Company YYY has agreed to build the said bacs. As XXX intends to rent the bacs from YYY, YYY has agreed to build a new cuve comprenant deux bacs de storage.

I seem to be finding tank/vat for cuve or shell but I've no idea which one to use.

TIA

Explanation:
This sounds a bit like my kitchen rubbish bin, which has a pull-out casing that contains two separate bins (one for ordinary waste and one for recycling).

neutral  B D Finch: A tub is open topped and is generally at least as wide as it is deep.
3 hrs
  -> A "bac" generally is also open topped aso. We have to find two different words for two terms which are almost synonymous !
