Why is a frac tank called a frac tank?
The term "frac" is short for fracture. This originates from Hydraulic Fracture Stimulation Treatment. A massive high volume, high pressue pumping job in which large quantities of liquids usually laden with a proppant - sand - are injected at a high rate and pressure down the wellbore of an oil or gas well. This rapid injection of liquids overcomes the porous rock's ability to accept the liquids and forces the rock to "fracture" and split. This is known as a "frac job." Because this treatment requires large amounts of liquids to be stored next to the well, in advance, special mobile storage tanks were invented. They are trucked to the site empty and set side by side to create a large, temporary tank facility. Hence the name, "frac tank."
