Suction Tank

Functions of Our Suction Tanks

Suction tanks perform several essential functions within fluid handling systems:

• Fluid Intake: Suction tanks are designed to intake liquids from external sources, such as wells, reservoirs, or supply pipelines, using suction or vacuum pressure.
• Storage: Once drawn in, fluids are stored temporarily within the suction tank before being pumped or distributed to their intended destinations.
• Deaeration: Suction tanks often incorporate mechanisms to remove air or gases entrained in the fluid, ensuring a stable and consistent flow during pumping operations.
• Pressure Stabilisation: Our tanks suction help regulate pressure fluctuations within the fluid handling system, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of pumps and associated equipment.

Features

Suction tanks exhibit several features that make them indispensable in fluid handling applications:

• Durable Construction: Suction tanks are typically constructed from robust materials such as steel, fibreglass-reinforced plastic (FRP), or polyethylene, ensuring longevity and resistance to corrosion and environmental factors.
• Suction Inlets: These tanks are equipped with suction inlets or ports for connecting intake pipes or hoses, facilitating the intake of fluids from external sources.
• Venting Mechanisms: Suction tanks incorporate venting systems to release trapped air or gases, preventing air locks and ensuring uninterrupted fluid flow.
• Access Points: Suction tanks may feature access openings or manways for inspection, maintenance, and cleaning purposes, allowing for easy access to internal components.

Applications of Suction Tank

Suction tanks find diverse applications across various industries and settings, including:

• Water Supply Systems: Suction tanks are used in municipal water supply networks, rural water systems, and domestic wells to draw and store water for distribution to households, businesses, and agricultural operations.
• Industrial Processes: Suction tanks play a vital role in industrial applications such as chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and mining operations, where they facilitate fluid intake, storage, and transfer.
• Fire Protection Systems: Suction tanks are integral components of fire protection systems, providing water storage for fire pumps and hydrant networks in commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and firefighting apparatus.
• Agricultural Irrigation: Suction tanks are employed in agricultural irrigation systems to draw water from natural sources or reservoirs and distribute it to crops through sprinklers, drip lines, or furrows.
