Storage tank CBRN

medicalfor water

Product overview
The CBRN stations from H2O EQUIPEMENT provide secure, temporary storage of hospital effluents contaminated during nuclear, radiological, biological or chemical incidents. Custom-engineered for healthcare facilities, these tanks ensure containment, regulatory compliance and controlled drainage via an external firefighter connection, while adapting to site constraints such as doorways and technical room access.

Key features

• Custom-made tanks sized to fit passages and technical-room constraints.
• Safety systems: high-level sensors, overflow detection and alarms with integration to supervision/BMS/BAS.
• Sealed retention basin with leak detection for secondary containment.
• External firefighter connection enabling drainage by intervention teams without entering clinical zones.
• Design and manufacture in accordance with applicable regulations and CBRN plan recommendations.
• Advice available from design phase to identify technical-room location and installation constraints.
• Modular construction to adapt diameter and height to required volume and site specifics.
• Maintenance contract and centralized alarm panel options.

Technical options and operational notes

• Volume range: 1000 L to 3000 L (customizable).
• Drainage by suction; pump available on request; external firefighter connection for intervention drainage.
• Fully custom fabrication to accommodate available space, doors and corridors for transport.
• Single-tank solutions possible in many configurations.
• Mandatory sealed retention basin with leak detection included to ensure secondary containment.

Why store hospital CBRN effluents?
Decontamination rinse water can contain pathogenic, radioactive or chemical agents. Direct discharge to the public or hospital sewer network may create major health and environmental risks and conflict with regulations. Temporary storage confines contaminated water until neutralization or secure removal by qualified services can be arranged.

FAQ (summary)

• What is a hospital CBRN effluent? — Water contaminated during incidents involving nuclear, radiological, biological or chemical agents, typically from decontamination showers.
• Why is direct discharge forbidden? — Because effluents may contain substances hazardous to health and the environment; direct discharge risks widespread contamination.
• How is treatment carried out? — Effluents are collected in a sealed CBRN tank pending neutralization or removal by specialized services.
• Are CBRN tanks standardized or custom-made? — Tanks are custom-designed to fit site constraints: access, required volume, installation and local standards.
• What advantages do H2O EQUIPEMENT CBRN tanks provide? — Containment, regulatory compliance, site-specific adaptation, external firefighter drainage and integrated alert systems.
