Floating Suction Lines, Skimmers and Roof Drains
What is Floating Suction Line?
Floating suction within storage tanks allows the user to draw product from the top of the tank rather than the bottom. They comprise a hinged pipe which floats with the inlet on or just below the surface of the product.
Why?
Because sometimes you want to draw product from the top of the tank, perhaps the product is sitting on top of the water and you want to avoid drawing water out with the product. Another case may be where water needs to be drained from the top of a product.
Where?
Suction lines are commonly used for aviation Jet A-1 and Avgas tanks as well as being used in power plants, crude oil collection tanks or anywhere the quality of the product to exit the tank is an issue.
