There is a great deal of confusion between "tank farm" and "tank battery." Two sources give them as synonyms while several others define the first as an area or site and the second as a collection or assembly of tanks, or vice versa. However it is the terminologist's opinion that "tank farm" should be looked at as a site or an area, and "tank battery" as a group, collection, or assembly of storage tanks. 6, record 1, English, - tank%20battery

Les divers types de postes [d’enrobage de granulats] sont toujours constitués, à partir des éléments de prédosage, par les mêmes unités de séchage, de criblage et de stockage avant dosage. Ils diffèrent par des variantes de l'équipement de contrôle, les principes restant les mêmes. Citons par exemple le système à réglage pondéral et à fonctionnement volumétrique adopté par un constructeur pour une famille de postes(système Batchomatic). Dans ce système les trémies tampons sont disposées au-dessus de bacs comportant une paroi mobile ajustable hydrauliquement. Une trappe à glissière permet de couper la veine de matériaux entre la trémie tampon et le bac, la fermeture ayant lieu lorsque l'écoulement de granulats est achevé [...] 1, record 7, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20Batchomatic
