Floating Suction System
The HMT
Floating Suction System is designed for use with
aboveground storage tanks whenever withdrawal of the
cleanest possible product or a heart cut of the product
stored is desirable. A properly designed
floating suction system will enable the operating
company to minimize the lengths of time required to
allow water, sediment, or any other contaminates to
settle after periods of tank activity.
HMT's
Floating Suction System is precisely engineered to be
compatible with a variety of internal and external
floating roof configurations and the specific gravity of
the product stored in the tank. Each component
part of a floating suction system is individually
evaluated with respect to its buoyancy load imposed on
the floating roof.
Aluminum
floating roofs, because of their relatively light
weight, are particularly vulnerable to damage when the
design of a floating C suction system does not take into
consideration the upward lift, that is transmitted to
the bottom side of the floating roof. HMT's
Floating Suction system is precisely calibrated,
fabricated, and installed to assure compatibility with
all aluminum roof configurations.
The HMT
Floating Suction System is uniquely engineered for each
application to assure compatibility with the floating
roof system, Combined with the HMT Pivot Master
join system, a long life, maintenance fee floating
suction system can be assured.
