acid tank

1. n. [Well Workover and Intervention]

The rubber-lined vessel used to transport raw or concentrated acid to the wellsite. Some acid additives attack or degrade rubber. Consequently, acid treatment fluids are not generally mixed or transported in acid tanks, but are instead mixed in special batch tanks or continuously mixed as the treatment is pumped.
