A TILT is a box shape steel structure specially designed for transporting goods and products.The standard dimensions allow intermodal transportation (such as ship, truck and rail) without the need to intermediate reloading. Containerized WWTP's are commonly employed in remote communities, industrial and constructions sites, work camps and any facility without access to major and WWTPs. Despite the satisfactory performance, these products are dealing with some issues. The main problem is the very high cost of manufacturing containerized units. In addition, these products are constructed as horizontal units which results in limited height and consequently limited treatment capacity. An alternative idea is to employ the standard TILT containers in a vertical fashion. There are many advantages that could be gained such as significantly lower cost by needing less units compared to other horizontal containerized units; lower site preparation cost; higher capacity due to vertical installation; and due to the international standard sizes, they could be easily transported using various modes of transportation (such as truck) which is of high importance in remote areas. The TILT containers can be used in wastewater as liquid storage/equalization, bioreactor/aeration tank, anaerobic reactor, moving bed bioreactor, CFIC, sequencing batch reactor, MBR plant aeration tank, bio-trickling filter and tertiary filter. The objective of the proposed R& D project is to evaluate the liquid shipping containers, TILT for wastewater treatment facility applications. Many issues such as stability leaking, local buckling and global collapse may occur when the liquid filled TILT container is subjected to seismic, wind and hydrostatic loads. An extensive numerical program is proposed to evaluate the structural properties of TILT containers and evaluate the possibility of developing a strengthening scheme which transforms the TILT container into a containerized liquid storage vessel for waste treatment process.

TILT是一种专门为运输货物和产品而设计的箱形钢结构。标准尺寸允许多式联运（如船舶，卡车和铁路），而无需中间重新装载。集装箱式污水处理厂通常用于偏远社区、工业和建筑工地、工作营地和任何无法进入主要污水处理厂的设施。尽管性能令人满意，但这些产品正在处理一些问题。主要问题是集装箱化单元的制造成本非常高。此外，这些产品被构造为水平单元，这导致有限的高度和因此有限的处理能力。另一种想法是以垂直方式使用标准的TILT容器。与其他水平集装箱化装置相比，可以获得许多优点，例如通过需要更少的装置而显著降低成本;降低场地准备成本;由于垂直安装而具有更高的容量;并且由于国际标准尺寸，它们可以使用各种运输方式（例如卡车）容易地运输，这在偏远地区非常重要。TILT容器可在废水中用作液体储存/均衡、生物反应器/曝气池、厌氧反应器、移动床生物反应器、CFIC、序批式反应器、MBR工厂曝气池、生物滴滤池和三级过滤器。拟议的研发项目的目标是评估液体集装箱，TILT的废水处理设施的应用。许多问题，如稳定性泄漏， 当填充液体的TILT容器受到地震、风和流体静力载荷时，可能发生局部屈曲和整体塌陷。提出了一个广泛的数值计算程序，以评估的结构性能的TILT容器和评估的可能性，开发一个加强方案，将TILT容器转换成集装箱化的液体存储容器的废物处理过程。
