An intermodal container has a roof, floor, side walls and end walls converted for use as a water processing tank, the tank walls reinforced so that the tank can be filled with water. The tank is lines with a flexible liner. On one of the walls aligned apertures are made in the liner and the wall with an inwardly facing flange surface facing into the tank. A process wall is mounted against the flange surface with fastening bolts exposed at the outside of the tank. The process wall is bolted from outside the tank so that a margin of the liner at the aperture is pinched between the process wall and the flange surface to seal it in place. Interface components are mounted and sealed at ports in the process wall to provide inputs to, and outputs from, the tank interior both above and below the design level of water in the tank.

1. An intermodal container having a roof, a floor, vertical side walls and a vertical first end wall, the container converted for use as a tank for processing water with the roof, floor, side walls and first end wall forming a roof, floor, vertical side walls and vertical first end wall of a tank, t
1. An intermodal container having a roof, a floor, vertical side walls and a vertical first end wall, the container converted for use as a tank for processing water with the roof, floor, side walls and first end wall forming a roof, floor, vertical side walls and vertical first end wall of a tank, the tank having a vertical second end wall opposed to said first tank end wall and fixed to the container side walls, all the tank walls reinforced for enabling the tank to hold water to be processed, a flexible liner for containing the water to be processed, the liner supported by the floor and mounted against the tank walls, one of the tank walls having a first aperture therein with a first margin part of said one tank wall bounding said first aperture formed with a first flange surface facing into the interior of the tank, the liner having a second aperture therein corresponding in position to the position of the first aperture, and a first process wall detachably mounted to the first flange surface, with a second margin part of the flexible liner bounding the second aperture sealingly sandwiched between a first boundary part of the mounted first process wall and the first flange surface, and a first plurality of interface components mounted and sealed at ports in the first process wall to provide inputs to, and outputs from, the tank interior. 2. A container as claimed in claim 1, the interface components comprising first process components for interface with water to be treated within the tank, the first process components sealingly fixed into a lower part of the process wall to have an operational interface with water to be processed in the tank. 3. A container as claimed in claim 2, the interface components further comprising first utility components sealingly fixed into an upper part of the process wall for entry of any of communication cabling, power cabling and piping, the second components above a design level of water to be processed within the tank. 4. A container as claimed in claim 1, said one tank wall is an end wall, the other end wall of the tank having a third aperture therein, a third margin part of said other tank end wall bounding the third aperture formed with a second flange surface facing into the interior of the tank, the liner having a fourth aperture therein corresponding in position to the position of the third aperture, and a second process wall detachably mounted to the second flange surface, with a fourth margin part of the liner bounding the fourth aperture sandwiched between a second boundary part of the mounted second process wall and the second flange surface, and a second plurality of interface components mounted and sealed at ports in the second process wall to provide inputs to, and outputs from, the tank interior. 5. A container as claimed in claim 4, further comprising a duct extending from the first process wall to the second process wall and located above a design level of water to be processed within the tank, the duct housing at least one of communication cabling, power cabling and piping. 6. A container as claimed in claim 1, the tank walls having first reinforcing for enabling water to be held in the tank to a design level. 7. A container as claimed in claim 6, said one tank wall having second relatively heavier duty reinforcing of parts thereof bounding the first aperture. 8. A container as claimed in claim 1, the first process wall bolted to the first flange surface by a plurality of bolt and nut combinations, heads of the bolts at the interior of the tank covered by a plate welded to the first process wall and sealing the bolt connections from the interior of the tank. 9. A container as claimed in claim 1, the liner formed from a single sheet of liner material by folding for fitment at junction lines between the tank floor and the tank walls and by folding with envelope folds for fitment at lower corners between adjacent walls. 10. A container as claimed in claim 1, the liner made of reinforced polypropylene. 11. A container as claimed in claim 9, the liner formed from a single sheet of liner material by folding for fitment at junction lines between the tank roof and the tank walls and by folding with envelope folds for fitment at upper corners between adjacent tank walls. 12. A container as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a frame member attached to the first process wall to enable balanced power-assisted insertion of the first process wall through the first and second apertures into the interior of the tank and subsequent manual maneuvering into position for fixture of the first process wall at the first flange surface. 13. A container as claimed in claim 1, the first plurality of interface components including a hatch. 14. A container as claimed in claim 4, the second plurality of interface components including a hatch. 15. A container as claimed in claim 1, further comprising an insulating layer intermediate the tank walls and the liner. 16. A container as claimed in claim 1, the container walls of corrugated form, the corrugations having outboard panels and inboard panels joined by web portions, the tank walls formed by reinforcing sheet material welded to the inboard panels.
