To remove any irregularities within the logistical chain, basic chemicals must be stored in large quantities. However, these materials can be corrosive, hygroscopic, cohesive, and so on, and thus are potentially hazardous. Considering these environmental concerns – not to mention governmental regulations – these bulk materials must be stored in a properly responsible manner.

The main applications for the Eurosilo in the basic chemicals and minerals industry include storage at the plant/mine site between production and train, truck or ship loading, storage at the plant site to store the basic product and storage at the port of user-owned terminal.
