Function and Description
Floating Surface Suction Systems for Fixed Roof Tanks
Fixed roof tanks (e.g. slop tanks) are equipped with Floating Skimmer System PROTEGO® SA/DA to discharge the liquid at the liquid surface. In this process, the inlet opening is always moved with the liquid surface using one or more floats, depending on the liquid level. This ensures that medium can always be discharged.
"Made in Germany"
PROTEGO® Floating Roof Drainage Systems are „Made in Germany“ and will provide many years of trouble free tank operation.Selection and Design
PROTEGO® Floating Skimmer Systems are the result of extensive experience and are well-conceived solutions for the end-user. This includes full project documentation with design drawings taking tank installations (optional arrangement check) and, if required, an inspection of the installed equipment Equipment Machines, appliances, fixed or mobile devices, control parts and accessories, and warning and prevention systems, whether separate or combined, intended for the generation, transfer, storage, measurement, control, and conversion of energy, and for the processing of materials, which have their own potential source of ignition and may cause an explosion. before commissioning into account.
Essential for the design of the PROTEGO® Floating Skimmer Systems is the Heavy Duty Swivel Joints, which are designed to work maintenance Maintenance Combination of all technical and administrative actions, including supervision actions, intended to maintain or restore a unit in working order. -free for many years in full medium contact. This design provides the tank operator with operational reliability, and unforeseen and expensive repairs are prevented.
The Swivel Joint comes with/in
- made of stainless steel;
- lubricated with a maintenance-free lifetime lubrication system; and
- equipped with a double row ball bearing with larger sizes to optimize reliability.
PROTEGO® Floating Skimmer Systems SA/DA are equipped with a skimmer float, which discharges the stored medium at the liquid surface. The design of this float depends on several factors, but the density of the medium is primarily decisive.
The buoyancy to move the system is also generated by the skimmer-float, if possible. If necessary, an additional buoyancy float is used, which carries the main weight of the plant.
Floats are exclusively manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and are 100 % pressure Pressure (gauge pressure) Pressure for which the value is equal to the algebraic difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure. tested.
Design Types and Specifications
Floating Skimmer System PROTEGO® SA/DA are engineered, constructed and manufactured according to customer requirements and taking the stored medium and customers tank parameters into account. They are designed for many years of operation in full medium contact. We use stainless steel for highly loaded components or aggressive substances.
