What is a paint collection tank?

Paint Collection Tank:

A paint collection tank is used for the collection of acrylic and oil based paint residue.  Paint collection tanks are partitioned with baffles to slow the flow of waste water allowing the heavier-than-water paint particles to sink to the bottom and the cleaner water to flow out to sewer.  Paint collection tanks are used in paint depots, school art rooms, process and industrial plants.

Paint collection tanks should be maintained regularly to ensure trouble-free service. The tanks are designed to arrest waste product such as waterborne pigments and particles in order to prevent blockage of downstream drainage pipes. Volatile fluids will float to the surface and can be drained off via the drain nipple on the side of the tank. Collected waste product, formed as sludge on the floor of the tank, should be removed from the tank and disposed of by whatever means is allowed in the area.
