What is a brite tank?

[Whatsgoodmiley]

I understand a brite tank is used for carbonating beer. However, is it used in conjunction with a CO2 tank or does it produce CO2, therefore negating the need for a CO2 tank?

Please respond ASAP, need information for essay I am writing.

Brite tanks are used to carbonate and serve beer. They are usually routed directly to the taps, but can be hooked up to fill kegs when necessary. They remove the need for kegs to be used when serving off the taps.

Brite tanks are loaded with carbonation stones, so there is an external CO2 source involved...
