Quick Draw Bottom
Sumps/Drain Dry Sumps
HMT’s Quick Draw Bottom Sump
considerably increases tank capacity,
enabling tank owners to maximize the operation of their
tankage. Increasing the usable capacity of a storage
tank increases its operating efficiency, allowing owners
to maintain competitiveness and profitability.
HMT’s Quick Draw Bottom Sump
has many applications. When used with
Internal Floating Roofs, the “low” roof position can be
reduced considerably. A typical low leg height for a
floating roof is 3’6”.
HMT’s Quick Draw Bottom Sump
allows this height to be reduced to
approximately 6”, greatly increasing the usable tank
capacity, as well as reducing product inventory.
Each
Quick Draw Bottom Sump
is custom designed for the specific
operational needs of the tank. All tank inlet and outlet
connections, mixing devices and water draw-off
connections are located beneath the level of the tank
bottom. Piping is provided under the tank bottom to the
exterior of the tank where it can be tied into the
applicable lines.
HMT’s Quick Draw Bottom Sump
can be installed in new tanks or in tank
retrofits and in single wall construction or double wall
for use with double bottom tanks. The unique sump design
allows for rapid filling and emptying and, in cases of
eccentrically sloped bottoms, provides a “drain dry”
feature.
Advanced Features:
-
"Low" roof position can be reduced to
approximately 6" increasing usable tank capacity.
-
Rapid filling and emptying of tanks,
and in cases of eccentrically sloped bottoms,
provides a drain dry feature.
-
HMT Quick Draw Bottom Sump can be
installed in both single and double bottom tanks.
-
The cost savings in additional
capacity, improved operating efficiencies and
inventory reduction is considerably greater than the
initial system installation cost.
