[Ghostbusters] What was their long-term plan for dealing with the ghosts they caught?

It's alluded to in the movie and portrayed directly in the official novelization that the "containment grid" is just a sealed room captured ghosts are dumped into. It's analogous to if an exterminator had to take home live every rat they caught. Essentially, a whole city's worth of ghosts are just packed into a closet in the Ghostbusters basement, and the capacity of that containment is finite. Worse, the containment requires constant power, and a lot of it. Walter Peck forced the issue by shutting down the grid, but that was going to happen eventually anyway the first time their was a blackout or short circuit (so imagine the city dealing with the aftermath of a hurricane ... but also a sudden onslaught of released ghosts).

Did the Ghostbusters have any notion of a permanent solution to this situation, or were they just going to keep packing spectral entities in there and hope it didn't eventually burst?

Let's be honest here, the Ghostbusters are a bunch of cowboys shooting from the hip. They have no plans beyond "catch ghosts", "fuck around with the cool ghost shit", and "find a way to monetize catching ghosts/cool ghost shit".
