Over the past several years, there has been a growing emphasis on industrial plant operations & maintenance costs. Many industrial plants use large storage tanks or reservoirs to hold their sensitive fluids, such as oils, fuels, biodiesels, sulfuric acids, brake fluids, and much more. These storage tanks are often in placed outside in remote areas and are susceptible to moisture contamination. Unfortunately, many industrial plants suffer from moisture contamination and spend thousands of dollars cleaning and repairing their tank, not to mention the dilution of the product being stored.
As pressure, temperature, or fluid level changes occur within a storage tank, the tank will either inhale or exhale air. During inhale, a tank will ingest moist atmospheric air which over time will corrode the tank or dilute the fluid inside with water. Many of the fluids, lubricating oils, and fuels being stored are hygroscopic, which means they attract moisture.
Drytech Tank Vent Dryers, also referred to as, Tank Vent Breathers, are used to protect storage tanks and reservoirs from moisture and particulates entering their system. Instead of moist atmospheric air entering the tank, the air will flow through the Tank Vent Dryer, filtering out all moisture down to less than 100 PPM, leaving clean dry air to flow inside the tank. This clean dry air less than 100 PPM can actually begin to remove moisture from within the tank contents, which is an absolutely vital dynamic in ensuring the best quality product to the end user.
Drytech Tank Vent Dryers are available in many sizes, ranging from hanging wall mounted models, to very large floor mounted models with easy desiccant emptying and fill ports. Some of the benefits of Tank Vent Dryers include:
- Extend the life of fuels, chemicals, fluids, oils and biodiesel.
- Minimize product dilution, viscosity loss and repairs due to moisture or particulates
- Minimize polymer breakdown, increased corrosivity, and freezing due to moisture
- Maintain targeted ISO cleanliness codes
- Eliminate tank corrosion & costly repairs due to moisture
