Abstract
Vessel systems for treating and/or storing liquids are provided. The vessel systems comprise a two-dimensional vessel arrangement with a plurality of vessels which are open at the top and which are interconnected to form a unit, and a two-dimensional closure arrangement which has an arrangement of closure elements corresponding to the vessel arrangement and by means of which the openings of the vessels can be closed. Each vessel of the vessel arrangement is connected to at least one other vessel of the vessel arrangement via a preferably flexible connecting member. Each of the closure elements is connected to at least one other closure element of the closure arrangement via a flexible connecting member which allows a change of the distance between the closure elements.
