Abstract: The present invention relates to a storage tank, comprising a neck portion having an opening, the neck portion having side walls which define a first storage volume; a body portion connected to, and located below, the neck portion, the body portion having side walls and a base which define a second storage volume, wherein a section of the body portion is configured with a substantially rectangular cross-section in the horizontal plane, and wherein the second storage volume is greater than the first storage volume; and ribs projecting generally radially from the side walls of the neck portion and/or the body portion.

Abstract: A pressure sewer control system includes a server in communication with one or more pressure sewer installations across a communications network, each of the one or more pressure sewer installations including a controller and one or more sewerage tanks. The server is configured to: determine weather data for a region associated with the pressure sewer installation; estimate power generating capability of a weather-dependent power generator based on the weather data; receive fluid level data indicative of a fluid level in the one or more sewerage tanks from the controller; determine whether a pump action should be instigated by the controller to pump fluid from the sewage tank based on the estimated power generating capability of the weather-dependent power generator and the fluid level data; and transmit a pump control instruction to the controller.
