The two spheres are on land to the south of Seal Sands amid the chemical industry installations near to Billingham; they seem to be owned by the Exolum company. The vessels seem complex but are named on OS mapping at larger scales simply as tanks, which implies storage. Maps also name a 'reed filter bed' just on the far side of the tanks.
